Danielle Morales · Answer 1

conflict of interest

Explanation:

Conflict of interest occurs when an individual in an organisation has competing interests that can be financial or personal. Most times fulfilling an action results in abandoning another one. It can occur when the personal interest of an employee conflicts with the business decisions of the employer.

In this instance the CEO of Disney personally prefers to buy a national league hockey team, and sees it as an opportunity for Disney to own a professional sports team. However a conflicting idea is being proposed by the board, who want to expand into other areas of entertainment beyond movies, theme parks, and goods.
