Business Communication for Academic and Professional Integrity

Question: Discuss about theBusiness Communication for Academic and Professional Integrity. Answer: Concept and Practice of Academic and Professional Integrity Academic integrity can be defined as the maintenance of responsibility and honesty in the academic field. Professional integrity means that an individual shall operate in an ethical manner regardless of the situation. The concept of Academic and Professional Integrity is to respect the rights of other scholars, avoiding actions that give undue advantage over others. In my understanding, academic integrity enables a person to develop professional skills and values that are sought by most employers. Before starting this unit, I was only aware of the fact that academic integrity is simply citing and acknowledging others work. However, after starting the unit, I came to an understanding that academic and professional integrity has a vast scope. Apart from acknowledging others work, it also involves supporting others in their effort. The necessary legal and regulatory obligations must be complied with (Manly, Leonard and Riemenschneider 2015). I shall practice academic integrity at AIH in the following ways: I shall avoid plagiarism by not copying more than two words in a row in the text found. I shall acknowledge the work of other scholars and researchers by citing the text written for the assignments. I shall develop my own arguments and evaluation from academic content by note-taking and reading. Therefore, academic and professional integrity is of great importance and must be followed at all levels. Unethical and unlawful conduct must be avoided under all circumstances. It shall help in building mutual respect and trust amongst the academic practitioners (Lfstrm et al. 2015). References Lfstrm, E., Trotman, T., Furnari, M. and Shephard, K., 2015.
