A few days before the end of the term of a two-year NDA (non-disclosure agreement) he signed with a startup company related to a possible patent, Frank interviewed with another startup and normal operating conditions, 151 product bundle, 160 product liability, 139 quality function deployment (QFD), 153 recycling, 145 reliability, 151 remanufacturing, 143 research and development (R&D), 137 reverse engineering, 137 robust design, 152 service, 160 service blueprint, 162 service delivery system, 160 service package, 160 serviceability, 134 standardization, 149 Uniform Commercial Code, 139 value analysis, 143 TAKING STOCK CRITICAL THINKING EXERCISES divulged information covered by the agreement. The interview had been scheduled for a week later, in which case it wouldn’t have been an issue, but had been moved up when another job applicant dropped out and the company had an opening for an earlier interview. Frank reasoned that he had met the spirit of the NDA, and a few days early wouldn’t really matter. Besides, as it turned out, the company he interviewed with wasn’t interested in that information, although they did hire him. What would you have done if you were Frank?
