Ethical communication in business and elsewhere includes giving proper credit to the work of others. In both workplace and academic settings, plagiarism (representing the words, ideas, or perspectives of others as your own) is a serious breach of ethics.

Course Hero problem - Provide a clear and specific definition of plagiarism as an unacceptable technique for professional writing as it applies to your major field of study (management and logistics) and your present or intended career path (food service).

Criteria - Provide at least two or three techniques that preparers can use to detect and prevent plagiarism, and therefore make their writing less risky to themselves and their employers; no word limit and at least one paragraph for the definition; provide a documented source for your definition.
