(2) It prevents the entry of young blood in the organisation.
(3) Promotion to certain key posts may not be possible due to non-availability of competent persons.
(4) The organisation will not be able attract capable persons from outside if internal sources are used extensively.
(5) It may encourage favouritism and nepotism within the organisation.
(6) Promotions by seniority may not be always beneficial to the oganisation
(7) There is a possibility that internal sources may “dry Lip” and additional persons may not be available for new vacancies.
