Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. No fresh talent: Filling vacancies internally reduces induction of new blood and risks inbreeding.

    1 mark

  2. Lethargy: Employees sure of time-bound promotion may become lethargic.

    1 mark

  3. Not possible for a new enterprise: A new firm cannot use internal sources, and no firm can fill all vacancies internally.

    1 mark

  4. Competitive spirit hampered: Competition among employees may weaken. (Also: frequent transfers may reduce productivity.)

    1 mark

Answer: Internal sources block fresh talent, may cause lethargy, cannot serve a new enterprise and hamper competitive spirit.
