How should my company deal with unsolicited ideas submitted by others?
One of many typical and specific questions often raised by its clients, RP advises that the answer depends, among other factors, on the clients goals, business, and sensitivity to risk. Some companies simply refuse to accept any unsolicited ideas. A few accept them without reservation. Still others receive unsolicited ideas only after the submitter signs a Disclosure Agreement stating that any submission is on a non-confidential basis and does not obligate the recipient in any way. RP stands ready to walk through the relevant factors with individual clients to develop together the best approach for each client.
