What is the logical dividing line between a good hire and one that is based on favoritism?

Week 14 & 6

Discussion question # 1: Discussion with one of the Zoom videoconferences on Saturday raises an interesting point about an uncomfortable topic. The terms, “good ol’ boy club” and “old boy network” have been around as long as I can recall — perhaps, as long as jobs have existed. The Harvard affiliation in our current case study was referenced as an example of this. Nepotism and cronyism are other forms of favoritism. What is the logical dividing line between a good hire and one that is based on favoritism? Is this a clear or blurry line? What if you are the one who benefits from favoritism? Defend.    (Use Name Your Price: Compensation Negotiation at Whole Health Management attachment as a reference when answering this question)
