Address the following:
1. Explain the value of diverse perspectives in the process of innovation. 2. How is this related to the concept of strong versus weak ties? 3. Why do most large organizations seem to have trouble coming up with and implementing
innovations? 4. If you were running a large organization, how would you make sure that innovative thinking was not
only “safe,” but encouraged? Why is it important to make it “safe to fail”? (See Slide 5 of the Lesson 3 Power Point)

Most classes have a 2 paper requirement per course. Please be sure to address the following requirements when completing your papers:
The cover page and reference page/s are not included in the above-stated page requirement. These should be in addition to page requirements. Papers need to be formatted in proper APA 7th Edition style. Each paper requires a minimum of at least three outside peer-reviewed sources for your references (unless stated otherwise in the guidance above).
o Acceptable/credible sources include: Academic journals and books, industry journals, and the class textbook. To include additional types of sources, please review the “Guidelines for finding and utilizing required references for your paper,” shared below.
Using your textbook is highly recommended to demonstrate that you have read the required material and/or are connecting new thoughts to the course text/learnings.
Guidelines for finding and utilizing required references for your paper:
For a formal research paper, you are required to locate, understand, and integrate a certain number of peer reviewed journal articles and/or published books, as these are considered reliable and valid sources of information by academics and industry. The best source of these articles is to search through your CiAM Library (LIRN). However, if you find a website you would really like to share in your paper, you can do so if it is NOT counted as one of your reliable/valid articles/books (i.e., goes above and beyond the required amount of reliable/valid sources), and if it is NOT the basis/foundation of your paper. Otherwise, there is no way to demonstrate that: 1. You have done true research and have given the appropriate level of thought to your paper; and 2. There is no way to validate that the information you have received off of the internet has been fact checked.
Here are some guidelines on how to think about this process:
1. Using Wikipedia: This internet source is very popular, and although there may be some great articles found there, there is no formal process (at this point) for what is posted to be fact checked. Meaning, what you find there is not always true. However, if you read an interesting article, you can go to their references, check on who they researched, then go to that ORIGINAL work (locate it in our library), and then read through that article and reference that article (not Wikipedia). If you want to cite Wikipedia, you may do so if it follows the guidelines shared above (i.e., is NOT the basis of your paper, and is just a supplemental share going above and beyond the minimum required reliable/valid works). You may also simply visit Wikipedia just to get more general information on a subject before you start your formal research process).
2. General informational websites and business websites: These follow the same rules as shared above.

Individual Research Paper Grading Rubric
Plagiarism
According to www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/plagiarized (https://www.merriam- webster.com/dictionary/plagiarized)
PLAGARIZE: transitive verb (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transitive) : to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own : use (another’s production) without crediting the source intransitive verb (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/intransitive) : to commit literary theft : present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source
With this said, it is very important to show backing for your thought, so if you are summarizing/paraphrasing another’s work, cite that work, or any work that shows backing for your thought directly after you have written it. Each paragraph starts over when citing, so remember that citing in one paragraph does not cover your reference requirements for your whole paper.
Also, if you quote more than 3 words in a row that are exactly the same as your source, be sure to add in quote marks around those words, then add the page or para# with the rest of the reference citation at the end of the quote mark. Your APA 7 Edition guide is an excellent resource. It is highly recommended that you own one. Our Librarian and/or our Writing Tutors are also very helpful and FREE! Be sure to utilize the CiAM tutor, tutor@ciam.edu (mailto:tutor@ciam.edu) , if you are needing support with grammar before you submit your paper. This is an incredible resource and can make the difference between earning an A or a lower grade. Once your paper is reviewed by the tutors, make the recommended changes and then submit your paper to your course before the due date.
