Module 5- Discussion_Business Organization and Management

Q As we learned in the text, “the structure one chooses for the organization depends on the type of work that must be achieved, and different structures have their advantages and disadvantages.” If you learned that a company had a matrix structure (a structure in which the reporting relationships are set up as a grid, or matrix, rather than in the traditional hierarchy), would you be more or less interested in working there? Explain your answer. How would you prepare yourself to work effectively in a matrix?

According to the basic understanding of the Matrix Structure, it can be said that it considered as a combination of two or more types of organizational structure. This structure helps in uniting the different structures and keeps a balance between them. The textbook tries to explain that this structure combines the traditional functional structure with the product structure. There are multiple managers provided to the employees who are further formed into different teams. There is one leader or supervisor of each team which helps the employees to conduct and hold a better understanding of the basic concepts.
