1 RETHINKING PLAGIARISM Chynette Nealy University of Houston Downtown PLAGIARISM, PRESENTING SOMEONE S WORDS or other creative products as your own, is a mandatory discussion and writing assignment in many undergraduate business communication courses. In fact, it would be considered plagiarism if this definition is not attributed. That being said, authors Kuasek, Brennan, and Browne (2003) expand the definition of plagiarism to include illegality if it violates copyright. Class discussions about this topic tend to be lively, ranging from questions about simply omitting identified sources to different standards of ethical behaviors reflective of people from different cultures, academic, professional, and other experiences. Business communication students can benefit from exposure to this topic within the context of challenges faced by some business professionals in an environment driven by competition and, regrettably, resulting in corporate scandals. One method of exposing students to this real-world problem is examining how an academic behavior plagiarism can become a transferable business practice. Students need to understand that plagiarism can cause a range of consequences inclusive of whistle-blowing. This article discusses an assignment that discourages plagiarism. Background Numerous corporate scandals, especially in the financial arenas, have caused many businesses and employees to rethink business practices with limited transparencies. Many of these changes stem from famous cases involving whistle-blowers. Whistle-blowing exposes a violation of ethics or law (Levisohn, 2008). Arguably, Sherron Watkins, former vice president of corporate development at Enron, is one of the most famous whistle-blowers. She made a difficult decision to report questionable, plagiarized accounting practices that placed her in a difficult position (Pasha, 2006). Interestingly, a whistle-blower can be resented Business Communication Quarterly, Volume 74, Number 2, June DOI: / by the Association for Business Communication 205
2 206 BUSINESS COMMUNICATION QUARTERLY / June 2011 or rejected by coworkers and suffers from going public with complaints. However, a large number of employees file whistle-blowing cases relying on protection under federal and state laws (Aguilera & Vadera, 2008; Bailey, 2008; Orin, 2008). In 2002, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in response to corporate scandals. Sarbanes-Oxley encourages whistle-blowers to expose wrongdoing at their organizations. However, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has its limitations: The provision only protects employees of public corporations and only if such employees report violations of federal securities laws (Moberly, 2007). This and similar gaps are often major points of debate during class discussions regarding plagiarism within the context of often-used business strategies, including suppressing unfavorable research to support business interests, using half of the information to obtain predetermined results, or distorting information released to stakeholders about operational or financial conditions. In these discussions, attention is focused on team-based performances that create incentives for plagiarism and/or misconduct. Realworld examples include Enron, American Insurance Corporation (AIG) and Fannie Mae (Business Roundtable Institute for Corporate Ethics, 2009; Ethics Resource Center, 2009; Haggerty & McKinnon, 2004; McKinnon, 2004). In general, students posit their position about plagiarism using the following: 56% of U.S. employees said they have observed unethical behavior by people in their organization and more than 40% of employees who witness unethical behavior did not report it (Hoover, 2007). Against this position, the following assignment helps students rethink and apply strategies to discourage plagiarism. The Assignment In this assignment, I use concrete and/or practical material from publicized corporate and academic scandals to help student reflect while forming abstract concepts that can be applied. This instructional strategy is designed to engage students in developing skill sets targeting the relevance of closing the theory to practice gap (Dewey, 1938/1963; Kolb, 1984). After discussing plagiarism, student teams consider a plagiarism case that involves incentives for team-based performance. Teams are required to prepare an analytical written report about the case. This
3 PEDAGOGICAL PIRACY: THE PLAGIARISM PROBLEM 207 allows teams to reflect on the problem, report concrete analysis, and explain/apply the effect of plagiarism in this case. The objective is to align theory to practice, so teams receive a case using a real-world business and academic partnership scenario. I take into consideration the gap between student and instructor perceptions of plagiarism by implementing = 4, a logical approach that convinces a reader of the perspective by demonstrating that everything adds up (Thill & Bovée, 2008). Students are asked to apply problem factoring, divide the problem into logical connected questions; thus allowing each question to be evidenced during analysis. During this period, class time is used for explanation of rubrics (written and oral) used to evaluate the assignment. Included in these discussions are reading assignments and lectures within the scope of business practices that affect business communication, such as whistle-blowing, ethical dilemmas, ethical lapses, and team skills. The teams are required to role play the findings in a 15-minute presentation, which allows students to experience increased insightful reflection before and during the application (Doron, 2007). For assessment purposes, students are told that each team will lead discussion and provide feedback after their presentation. In the role-playing presentation, students include their analytical findings, which allow the audience to agree or disagree with the recommendations. It also allows, for the purpose of grading, measureable set criteria for evaluation via rubric: content, organization, and audience engagement. All presentations are recorded for review. Students have four weeks to complete the assignment. The analytical report should be pages and include information from a business or academic entity that has experienced and/or is experiencing the same problem outlined in the case. Students also receive guidelines for the presentation, the role-playing of recommendations. Similar to the workplace, incentives encourage assignment completion. The following short scenario is used as the problem: You have been hired as an external performance review team by a well known business and academic partner to the College of Business. Your professor explains that the business needs assistance in determining whether plagiarism is occurring on team projects sponsored at the university or during interaction with professionals during an internship.
4 208 BUSINESS COMMUNICATION QUARTERLY / June 2011 The business, a financial services firm, provides two data sets: reports submitted for consideration for paid internships and reports completed during the internship supervised by an internal team. Included in the data are the following team communications and activities. In both settings, students were assigned to a team of five class members with diverse backgrounds that is, age, gender, business majors, and professional experience. The team began experiencing several problems with some members, including not communicating in a timely manner, not participating in scheduled meetings online or face/face, and not completing project deadlines, resulting in the team losing points for overall performance. The team decided to not share several of the problems with the instructor or the internal team at the business. Then, two days before the major project is due, one team member requested a meeting with the business representative, not the internal supervising team, and blew the whistle, claiming that team members are plagiarizing; another team member ed the instructor a vague communication noting personal problems and dropped the course; the remaining three team members continued working on the project. The assignment is submitted to the instructor, the internal team, and the business representative on the due date inclusive of a performance review with all members signatures. Learner Outcomes Student feedback is positive. They indicate that the assignment mirrored a real-world opportunity that increased their interest and confirmed the consequences of plagiarism. Students also indicated the assignment allowed and encouraged confronting team members undesirable behavior, and students could identify strategies that encouraged positive team performance. Subsequently, students indicated understanding the consequences of plagiarism and the need for rethinking their position about observing and not reporting plagiarism. Recent corporate scandals continue to show patterns of unethical behavior that appear to be acceptable until exposed. Learner outcomes designed to provide measureable consequences of unethical behavior, such as plagiarism, are beneficial with respect to academic and professional honesty. Aligning theory to practice about plagiarism will help some students rethink before applying unethical practices in academic and/or workplace settings. Writing the assignments using the = 4 analytical format provide practice in logical reasoning that improves the probability of others, as well as oneself, to change prospect and
