Question 2: Multiple Choice Questions [10 marks]
Question 2.1: The act of collusion also constitutes plagiarism. Is this statement true or false?
Answer: a. True
Collusion occurs when two or more students work together to produce work that is submitted
as individual, independent work. This is considered a form of academic dishonesty and consti-
tutes plagiarism because the submitted work does not represent the individual student’s own
effort (Louw and Venter, 2024).
Question 2.2: When I paraphrase in my assignment or exam for MNG4801, I must not:
Answer: b. 1 2 3
The three practices to avoid are: (1) changing only one or two words using synonyms while
claiming it as one’s own; (2) placing quotation marks around text and referencing it as para-
phrasing; and (3) using only the idea from the text without referencing it. These all constitute
improper paraphrasing or plagiarism under CEMS Harvard referencing guidelines.
Question 2.3: What is the correct reference format for the prescribed book for MNG4801
according to the Harvard referencing style?
Answer: b. Louw, L. and Venter, P. (2024) Strategic Management: Towards sus-
tainable strategies in South Africa. Cape Town: Oxford University Press

vard referencing style?

ber in brackets, and page numbers.
