Question

Attributes of rigorous research can be shared across subjects of study. For example, Collins and Porras (2002) highlight the importance of having a control group when comparing companies in any effort to identify what specific company characteristics are able to distinguish the successful from the ordinary

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Your question is incomplete. Indeed, there is no question at all, just a statement, and it seems that information is needed. For instance, the text for the referral.

Doing some research I can identify the idea of the question and the correct context is the following.

You have to compare two texts. One from an original source and the other, a text was written by a student. The question asked to compare both texts to see if there is plagiarism or not.

So with that in mind, the correct answer is that there is no plagiarism

The student version paraphrases the original idea, explains it in its own terms, and included proper citation of the text from Collons, J.C., & Porras, J.I. (2002) Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies."

Plagiarism happens when you write a text that is not yours, or you do not give credit to the author, pretending it was you the one who wrote it. That is why is necessary to include proper citations in different formats to give the credit to the original author, or that you as student use your own words and ideas to make a notorious difference with the original text.
