PLAGIARISM
What is plagiarism?
Failure to fully reference all your sources could be construed by the tutor as intentional and therefore as plagiarism.

Plagiarism is a serious academic offence. It arises when a student is suspected of presenting work undertaken by other people as if it were their own.

A student is liable to be found guilty of plagiarism if any work presented for individual assessment is found to contain the unacknowledged work of some other person or persons. If this involves deliberate misrepresentation of material as the student’s own in an attempt to deceive the examiners then the offence is very grave indeed.

All sources should be cited and all quotations from the works of other authors clearly identified as such.

If a student’s work is found to contain verbatim (or near verbatim) quotation from the work of other authors (including other students past or present) without clear acknowledgement, then plagiarism has been committed whether or not the student intended to deceive the examiners.

This rule also applies to the fraudulent provision of work by anyone for the use of another student as his/her own work.

Students will receive a 0 grade if work is deemed to be plagiarized.

REFERENCING

If you have made use of any material that needs referencing then make sure it is referenced correctly both in the text and in the referencing section, using the Harvard method of referencing.

Essay Instructions: Long-term investment projects require a thorough understanding of all attributes of doing business in that country, including import/export restrictions, labor relations, supplier financing, tax rules, depreciation schedules, currency properties and restrictions, and sources of short-term and long-term debt, to name a few. China is currently the focus of investment and market penetration strategies of multinational firms worldwide including Acme. Your supervisor has asked you to gather information on some of these factors that your company or any MNE would want to consider when doing business in China. (This is the primary focus of this assignment.)

As you begin your research, you realize your company would make a significant profit from doing business in China. You also discover that policies on employee welfare, labor relations, etc. are the antithesis of what your CEO firmly believes. Do you include this information in your report, or just provide the strategic information you were asked to gather? (Please respond to this ethics question in a paragraph or two).

Use the Library and other Internet sources (you might start with the web sites listed here), to collect the information.
