It's clear that, in the end, they wanted to ensure that they had "discovered something that distinguishes the successful companies from other companies" rather than identifying attributes that all the successful companies studied share (e. g., an emphasis on customer focus, or quality improvement, or empowerment) (p. 14).

Word-for-word plagiarism

Explanation:

According to a different source, in this question, you are meant to compare two texts:

Original source:

Suppose you study a group of successful companies and you find that they emphasize customer focus, or quality improvement, or empowerment; how do you know that you haven't merely discovered the management practice equivalent of having buildings? How do you know that you've discovered something that distinguishes the successful companies from other companies? You don't know. You can't know--not unless you have a control set, a comparison group.

Student Version:

It's clear that, in the end, they wanted to ensure that they had “discovered something that distinguishes the successful companies from other companies” rather than identifying attributes that all the successful companies studied share (e.g., an emphasis on customer focus, or quality improvement, or empowerment) (p.14).

Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?

This is an example of word-for-word plagiarism. In this text, the student references a statement that comes from the original source. The student rewrites this statement word-by-word. While the student places the quote between quotation marks, and provides the page number, the student does not provide the name of the author of the original text. Without this, we would be unable to identify where the ideas come from. Therefore, this would be an example of word-for-word plagiarism.
