Roy has been thinking about promoting an employee at his marketing firm to a manager position. There are two employees that have both shown great promise and one of them happens to be the son of the CEO of a big account that Roy is hoping to acquire to handle their marketing. However, the stronger employee is not the son of this CEO. Based on this, what will likely occur if Roy decides to promote the son of the CEO rather than the stronger employee?

Conflict of interest.

Promoting the CEO’s son to gain favor with a prospective client instead of promoting the stronger candidate creates a conflict between Roy’s personal/firm interests and the duty to make merit-based, objective decisions.
