Question

In examining the history of the visionary companies, we were struck by how often they made some of their best moves not by detailed strategic planning, but rather by experimentation, trial and error, opportunism, and--quite literally--accident. What looks in hindsight like a brilliant strategy was often the residual result of opportunistic experimentation and "purposeful accidents." References: Collins, J. C., & Porras, J. I. (2002). Built to last: Successful habits of visionary companies. New York, NY: Harper Paperbacks. Decisions that look like the result of smart strategic thinking could, instead, be attributed to a culture that values opportunistic experimenting and intentional mishaps. Collins and Porras (2002) point out their surprise at finding that many of the visionary companies that they researched "made some of their best moves not by detailed planning, but rather by experimentation, trial and error, opportunism, and--quite literally--accident" (p. 141).

Which of the following is true for the Student Version above? Word-for-Word plagiarism Paraphrasing plagiarism This is not plagiarism

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: "This is not plagiarism".

Explanation:

The student version cannot be classified as plagiarism because it is an interpretation of the original text and makes all references to it properly. The text presents some quotes of the original text and also numbers the page from where it was taken and the name of the authors with the year of publishing. There is no repetition of words with incorrect references or paraphrases, there is only an interpretation and explanation of the reference made.
