Explanation:
The agency conflict arises when there is a gap between the owners of a company and the management of the management, since it determines that the interests of the shareholders and that of the managers are different. In the case that arises, the CEO evidently becomes a top-notch executive of the combined company, and will have some additional benefits to those that the shareholders may have (mainly return on their investments). At this point an ethical dilemma arises, since the interests of a person cannot overlap with those of a particular organization, and in the event of a purchase being made from the company, it must be ensured that the levels of profitability of the shareholders will increase over time.
