a(n)______can hamper growth because the flow of information stays within the system and has no chance to interact
with or build on knowledge from the outer environment.

• divisional structure
• modular structure
• closed - system
• learning organization
• organic structure

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Divisional structure: Organizes by divisions (e.g., product, market), not about information isolation.
• Modular structure: Focuses on modular components, not information flow restriction.
• Closed - system: By definition, a system with no or limited interaction with the external environment. So information stays internal, hampering growth as it can't interact with external knowledge.
• Learning organization: Emphasizes learning from internal and external sources, so it promotes growth, not hamper.
• Organic structure: Flexible, adaptive structure, not about information isolation.

Answer:

C. closed - system
