Assignment

Understanding Ownership in Writing in the Workplace When employees are asked to create documents or presentations for work, generally the workplace considers those documents to be property of the organization. However, if a worker creates something or researches something on his or her own for work, where does ownership lie? For this assignment, you need to:

•Do some research in your current job or in the career you are planning to determine how ownership is generally handled.(I go to school for Information Technology)

•Write a policy for your workplace that makes clear the ethics implications and expectations for ownership of writing by employees. Your policy should be directed to the whole company.

•Explain the implications for an employee who is assigned a writing project and for an employee who develops materials to promote his or her ideas as an unassigned work task.

• You can use the Template for a Plagiarism Policy linked in the Resources or search "How do you write a policy statement?" on Ask.com to learn more on the subject. Requirements

•Written communication: Writing should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
