Mini-Paper 

Address the changes in scope of an industry (either an industry you are currently employed within or one that you would like to investigate and learn more about). Identify the industry you have selected and summarize industry changes over the past five years. Ascertain the type of industry (i.e. emerging, maturing, declining, or fragmented) and utilize the Five Forces Model of Competition to determine the nature and strength of competitive pressures in that industry. Which competitor has the best strategy in the industry? Identify industry drivers for change and summary your projections for the industry going forward to the next five years.

Plagiarism

Three common types of plagiarism you need to be aware of as a student:

• Recycling a paper; "double-dipping"; self-plagiarism: Reusing a paper you have written for a previous course
• Copying directly from a source without proper quotations or paraphrasing: When you try to pass something off as your own work
• Not using proper citations

According to the Academic Integrity and Academic Dishonesty Handbook:

Your paper should have at least 80% of your own original thought, not "borrowed, paraphrased [or] quoted" from material pulled from the Internet, articles, journals, books, etc. Your thoughts, not someone else's!

Please review the Handbook for more examples of plagiarism and how to avoid it.
