Question
What is a matrix organization?
✓
Answer
Matrix Organization:
The organizational structure in which people with similar skills are pooled for work assignments, resulting in more than one manager is called a matrix organization.
Matrix organization is a combination of work based $($functional organization$)$ and project based organization.
Matrix management is the practice of managing individuals with more than one reporting line i.e. in a matrix organization structure.
For example, all engineers may be in one engineering department and report to an engineering manager $($i.e. part of functional organization structure$),$ but these same engineers may be assigned to different projects and report to a different engineering manager or a project manager while working on that project. Therefore, each engineer may have to work under several managers at same point of time.
