27. You are greeted inside by parallel rows of massive columns that recall the
façade of an Egyptian temple, vividly banded in red and blue. Above, projecting
walkways and "seminar balconies" zig-zagging around the walls add to the
theatrical feel, as do the lattice-sided stairs that criss-cross the interior space
like something imagined by Escher or perhaps Piranesi. It's an eclectic and
exuberant mix of colours, styles and materials: colourful, a touch vulgar even,
but undeniably exciting.“
Once inside the building you face rows of massive Egyptianate columns,
banded in blue and red. Above you are walkways and balconies which feel
theatrical, while the criss-cross lattice-sided stairs are like something Escher
might have imagined. All in all, it is an interesting and exuberant mix of styles
and colours. Some might think it is a bit vulgar but you can’t deny that it is
exciting.

45. Harvard Style Referencing
Harvard Style is the preferred referencing style at CJBS
but you can use other styles provided you are consistent.
Harvard Style is essentially:
In text: Author, Year, (and sometimes) Page Number
At end: Full reference in bibliography
There are no footnotes with Harvard Style.

46. Harvard Style Referencing
Worked example:
Direct quote in your text (or ‘in-text citation’):
‘If you find what you do each day seems to have no link to any
higher purpose, you probably want to rethink what you're doing.’
(Heifetz, 2009, p.57)
Reference in bibliography:
Heifetz, R. et al. (2009) The practice of adaptive leadership:
tools and tactics for changing your organization and the world.
Boston, MA: Harvard Business School Publishing.

47. Harvard Style Referencing
Paraphrase in your text:
Heifetz et al, seemed to think that adaptive leadership actions
have to include a behavioural component and that adaptive
solutions are difficult because it involves changing your
worldview (Heifetz, 2009).
N.B. Paraphrase someone’s ideas and words by all
means BUT unless you add a reference its plagiarism

48. Harvard Style Referencing
4 Common Referencing Problems
1. Trying to locate a reference you didn’t note down/cannot decipher
2. Failing to include all the references in your text in your bibliography
3. Formatting each and every reference so that it’s in the right style
4. Organising your references alphabetically
Surely there has to be a better way?
