6. Academic sources and accessing credible e-Resources:

Not all sources / texts can be classified as academic sources. Wikipedia, for
example, is not a credible academic source since authors are not identifiable
and editing an article on this site is very easy. Also, blog posts often provide

2 HENT100-1-Jan-Jun2022-SA2-RA-V.2-11022022
 valuable information, but are not academically sound. To judge whether a source
is credible, consider the following criteria:

• The author should be identifiable through author information, affiliations,

and/or qualifications.

• An academic source has usually been peer-reviewed.

• Academic textbooks or academic journals should be published by a
recognised authority/publisher like a university, an academic publishing
house, research organisation etc.
• A list of references should be present, that is, full citations for sources used.
Thorough reference to research is a crucial characteristic of legitimate
academic work.

8. Boston expects you to approach your work with honesty and integrity.
Honesty is the basis of respectable academic work. Whether you are working on
a formative assessment, a project, a paper (read at a conference), an article
(published by a journal), or a summative assessment essay, you should never

4 HENT100-1-Jan-Jun2022-SA2-RA-V.2-11022022
 engage in plagiarism, unauthorised collaboration (collusion), cheating, or
academic dishonesty.

Plagiarism occurs when a writer duplicates another writer's language or ideas,

and then calls the work their own. Simply put, plagiarism is academic fraud. This
includes the ‘copy and paste’ of work from textbooks, study guides, journal
articles, etc.

issued. If the incorrect document is uploaded, or if the verification report is issued
for the incorrect document a mark of zero (0) will be awarded. If the verification
report indicates that a 30% similarity rating has been exceeded, 25% will be
deducted from the final grade.
• No scanned PDF assignments are allowed to be submitted. Assignments

Question 1 (20 Marks)

“The present-day CSR (also called corporate responsibility, corporate citizenship,
responsible business and corporate social opportunity) is a concept whereby business
organizations consider the interest of society by taking responsibility for the impact of
their activities on customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders, communities and
other stakeholders as well as their environment. This obligation shows that the
organizations have to comply with legislation and voluntarily take initiatives to improve
the well-being of their employees and their families as well as for the local community
and society at large. CSR simply refers to strategies corporations or firms conduct their
business in a way that is ethical and society friendly. CSR can involve a range of
activities such as working in partnership with local communities, socially sensitive
investment, developing relationships with employees, customers and their families,
and involving in activities for environmental conservation and sustainability.
