A definitive guide on Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) for independent contractors and freelancer For freelancers and independent contractors, working with a contract is recommendable in nearly every situation – it always protects both sides from a range of potential risks that may come about. However, legal language is usually quite scary, and signing an agreement can feel like joining a contest which you are unfamiliar with. In this post, we will explore one of the common types of agreements – the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). What is a non disclosure agreement? For starters, an NDA, also sometimes known as a confidentiality agreement, or secrecy agreement, is basically a legal pact that obligates to privacy and forces those who consent to keep any sensitive information secret. Why does the NDA exist? Like we have mentioned above, an NDA exists to protect clients’ information and the way they do business.

Change Communications Case Study: General Motors Introduction and Overview The General Motors (GM) brand suffered reputational backlash due to its recall scandal. Rehabilitation of GM’s image proved to be difficult five years after emerging from Chapter eleven bankruptcy due to a botched recall. The company recalled approximately 2.6 million vehicles due to a faulty ignition switch that was lethal to customers (CBS Evening News, 2014). GM embarked on undoing the reputational harm by connecting with customers to build a stronger relationship. They identified social media as a crucial channel in regaining customer confidence and trust (Twentyman, 2014) The task of using social media to change the communications narrative was a massive task for a company manufacturing 13 different brands of vehicles across 37 countries around the globe. This paper explores how GM used social media as a communications change tool in the effort to enhance its brand. Identification of the Main Issues/Problems/Questions The recall scandal facing GM was a low point for the company as it caused customer deaths. When GM voluntarily recalled 2.6 million cars in 2014, it seemed…
DISABLED PEOPLE AND SOCIETY According to the “China Disabled Persons’ Career Development Report (2017)”, the total number of various types of disabled people in China is 85 million, which occupies 6.16% of the overall Chinese population (1.38 billion, 2016). From 2008 to 2013, the total funds invested by the central government for the disabled were about 11 billion Yuan. The local fiscal investment was 85.2 billion Yuan. However, the government spends a massive amount of funds for the improvement of disabled people life, and it was seldom to see them on the street because many particular facilities were seized by non-disabled people, such as tactile paving. In the same way, many public toilets did not have accessible facilities; and it was hard to find an elevator beside the stairs. Those problems forced them to stay at home and hinder social activities. Lack of attention and stereotyping was the reason for marginalization of disables people. Having equality in popularized public facilities is having respect to the vulnerable population and a measuring point of social tolerance. Disabled people have rights to be…
DISCURSIVE ESSAY It is believed that the color element of product packaging acts as a “weapon” for brand’s products to compete with each other at the place of sale. Colors around where customers are shopping can influence their buying decisions and shoppers tend to choose what they buy based on colors as well. Firstly, colors have the ability to segment customers into groups and change their emotions and shopping behavior a lot. There is a likelihood that each group of customers have a tendency to accept different colors. For instance, the yellow color symbolizes cheerfulness and optimism enhancing the mood, which is especially suitable for children and teenagers. Whereas, purple evokes elegance, charm, and originality, which is attractive to women and middle-aged people. According to Georganne Bender, a retail consultant, claims that orange makes us feel cheerful. And when customers are happy, they will linger longer. Besides that, Neil Patel has also specifically stated that color affects nearly 85% of the reason why you choose to buy a product. Secondly, the color of the brand image also determines how many…
Challenges Faced by Immigrants Introduction The process of moving to a foreign country in search of settlement, jobs, or security is referred to as immigration. The victims of immigration undergo a series of challenges ranging from the language barrier and housing to social unrest. It is worth noting that the problems were not only faced by past immigrants, but also the present population. Based on the above highlights, this paper will critically describe the similarities, which include language barrier, unemployment, and housing, while differences are based on settlement social unrest grounds. Similarities Language barrier The language barrier is among the significant challenges that were experienced by both past and present immigrants. Notably, it is was challenging for both immigrants to get used to the new environment due to minimal interaction (Baglay & Nakache, 2018). Besides, the immigrants are demanded to interact with other residents while minding their daily chores, including shopping and schooling. As a result, they are required to learn the hard to interpret native languages, for instance, Spanish or French (Joppke, 2017). Once individuals move to a…

The paper is a report of a reflection of chapter seven, decision making, and creativity, which identifies a concept that relates to me most, a reason for choosing the concept, and explains the insights from the concept and the probable application in the future. The Most Relating Concept Emotions and decision making Reasons for Choosing the Concept The chapter emphasized on how emotions can affect decision making. Since intuitions and feelings are inevitable, I got curious about how managers can mitigate the impacts emotions may have on the decision-making process. Interestingly, it became clear that emotions lead to preferences that may either guide the decision making in the right or wrong way. For example, studies indicate that integral emotions may guide the right decisions as well as wrong decisions. A practical example is a case where a student will make donations to former schools, which represent the right decision. In contrast, a person would disregard flying to…
