During the second week of module we were looking to select a company on which report
or essay can be prepared. The topic selected was selected on the basis of fast growing
corporation. In this regard, I thought that selection of McDonald would be quite easier because
of its rapid expansion in number of countries. Also, it provides wide range of products and
services in affordable prices so I thought that it would be better to get detail information for the
same. At this juncture, I conducted brainstorming session where I put some ideas in order to

related outcomes in an effectual manner. The following mentioned scenario is showing outcomes

116 countries of the world.

country.

In this respect, I can also say that the mind mapping strategy is also beneficial to attain
better future. In this, I can focus on creation of key ideas that could include in the essay. I can

information. Fortunately, I got access to some of the journals and books so that accordingly I can
include references in my report. Furthermore, I was not aware regarding mediums provided by
University of Derby. Owing to this, I thought that credible websites contribute towards including
right information in study.

Section 10. Quotations and paraphrasing (lecture & seminar week 3)
Subsection 10.1
This exercise assist me in avoiding situation of plagiarism because given example help
me in understand that which is acceptable work and which is not. Here, we were given a task to
assess that what is classed as acceptable and what plagiarised by looking at number of
statements. It was helpful for me in writing my report in an ethical manner.
The task is showing a paragraphs where I was given a task to assess that whether this
work is acceptable or not. At first I found it quite typical task because most of the part was
looking same but then with careful attention I noticed that there was not quotations and citation.
It depicts that there was plagiarism. It enables me to quote in the file and do the citation along
with references for presenting work in academic manner.

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
The term insanity depicts about expectation of different outcomes while doing the similar things
in repetitive manner.
“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”
14

Discussion regarding the people is from small minds, events are discussed from the people
belong to average mind and ideas are discussed by people who have great mind.
Paraphrasing
“Transnational companies still make high profit controlling large shares of global capital,
potentially used to increase production. They generate the bulk of goods and services exports
worldwide, providing or closing the access to different foreign currency and products. They are
important suppliers of technology and know-how, strategic knights and pawns enhancing local
performance and environmental competitiveness.”
The paraphrasing refers to writing the stated matter in other words so as to create
authenticate copy of work. It assists researcher to prepare his/her own work with proper citation.
It facilitates to complete all research activities in right manner. However, one must ensure that
the content is free from any kind of grammatical errors. For paraphrasing, it is very important to
focus on matter written by author and then convert the same into own word so as to ensure
inclusion of right material in report. However, the original one should be noticed especially when
paraphrasing. Some of the techniques can be used in paraphrasing like synonyms, work forms
and active or passive voice. Furthermore, work order could also be changed along with making
sentence affirmative or negative. Similarly, connectors can be used in right manner so that
effective material can be produced in writing the content. Not only this but there may be
different types of sentences like simple, compound. Apart from this, phrases and clauses can also
be used so that written content can be modified in an effective way.
In have also found that which part is termed as plagiarized and what can be accepted. In
this exercise we were provided with an assignment to identify and determine what is considered
as plagiarized and what is acceptable. Further by looking at some statements, the researcher has
developed some sort of knowledge about the same. It has also helped in avoiding the chances of
plagiarism. This has helped me to avoid the chances of getting plagiarism and providing the best
content. The cases which can be considered as plagiarized are mentioned below as: The
following cases can be termed as the cases or situation of plagiarism.
Cutting a short article from website and pasting the same in file without any citation
Considering and taking quotation from an paragraph, citing it but quotation mark is not used.

Using a paragraph which has been written in last semester and not citing the same.

For increasing the production of companies, there are still some transnational companies which
increases there profit margin by controlling their shares which are part of global capital. Goods
and services of the companies are export in bulk quantity which helps to access foreign currency
of different countries and also the products. Performance of local companies and competitiveness
in market is enhanced due to use of technology, know-how and also the strategic knights.
