Matrix Organization
An organizational structure that facilitates the both
horizontal as well as vertical flow of skills and information, referred as
matrix structure, also called grid structure or project structure. Mainly used
for managing large products like product development processes, arranging mega
events, etc. In this management
structure we have to assign different duties and responsibilities to execute a
project to the individuals working in different departments without removing
them from their respective positions.
For Example
President
V.P V.P V.P
Project Manager Product A Product
A Product A
Product A Manufacturing R&D Sales
Product
Manager Product B Product B Product B
Product B Manufacturing R&D Sales
In matrix structure we have:
1. Top Management like President, CEO, etc
who has to look after the whole structure
2. Two Matrix Managers, one is the head of
specific technical department like, R&D, Manufacturing and sales, second is
project manager.
3. Employees who are headed by both
project manager and their respective departmental heads and having dual
reporting responsibilities. They comes into communication with project manager
for project activities like planning, execution, etc and project manager also
exercise administrative authority over people in team for all matters, hence
formulating horizontal flow of relationship. And they also come into
communication with their respective departmental head for technical reasons
that ensure adequate technical supervision and support and hence formulating
vertical flow of relationships.
