Direct Quote Example

Cybersecurity threats pose a significant danger to public safety since “specialized

ransomware groups choose specific targets. These can be hospitals, critical infrastructure, and

other sensitive companies” (Olejnik & Kurasiński, 2023, p. 37). Therefore, law enforcement and

other security agencies need to be aware of the immediate threats cybersecurity threats pose to

society.

Paraphrase Example

Kennedy et al. (2020) define a strategic resource as an asset that possesses various

characteristics. They include organization to capture value, difficulty in imitating the resource,

rarity, and valuable. A valuable resource helps a firm develop strategic management practices

that allow it to capitalize on opportunities while minimizing the negative impact of threats on the

business (Kennedy et al., 2020). Hence, strategic resources can help companies maintain a

sustainable competitive advantage against competitors.
