• A) From an organizational culture perspective, separatist organizations probably have root metaphor conflict issues because they are separate from the rest of society.
• B) From an organizational culture perspective, separatist organizations probably do not have enough shared symbols and to develop a strong and cohesive culture.
• C) From a systems perspective, separatist organizations become too "closed" and cannot adequately adapt and build interdependent with other organizations.
