In the Functional Structure the employees have many superiors and they have to write report for all of them. On the other hand, in Project (Matrix) Structure the employees have to write one report direct to an administrator.
In Matrix structure it is difficult to have two managers to manage same work but in Functional Structure have several managements.By( Mohammed Khalil).

the difference between an organisational structure and a matrix structure is that a matrix structure is a combined structure whereas an organisational structure is in a vertical order and has different levels.
From the perspective of structure, organizations fall into three categories: 1. Functional organizations 2. Projectized organizations and 3. Matrix organizations. Functional Organizations A functional organization has a traditional organizational structure in which each functional department, such as engineering, marketing, and sales, is a separate entity Projectized Organization A projectized organization's structure is organized around projects. Most of the organization's resources are devoted to the projects Matrix Organization A matrix organization is organized into functional departments, but a project is run by a project team, with members coming from different functional departments The matrix organizations are generally categorized into a strong matrix, which is closer to projectized structure; a weak matrix, which is closer to functional structure; and a balanced matrix, which is in the middle of strong and weak.
There are more people in the hierarchical structure then the matrix structure. The matrix structure is more complex than the hierarchical structure
functional organisation is when you directy report to one person. matrix is when you report to more than one manager.
A functional structure groups employees based on their job functions, while a matrix structure combines functional and project-based teams. In a functional structure, there is clear hierarchy and specialization, which can lead to efficient operations. However, communication and decision-making may be slower. In a matrix structure, there is more flexibility and collaboration, but it can lead to confusion and power struggles. Overall, the choice between the two structures depends on the company's goals and needs for efficiency and effectiveness.
Most businesses use a functional organizational structure.
The weak matrix. In this case a project manager oversees staff from different functions but still reports in to his or her functional manager. Such a structuring of the project allows some engagement of those with a stake in the project and enhances the possibility for communication across functional areas - but it is still hierarchical and for this reason retains most of the problems associated with a functional organisation. The strong matrix - In the strong matrix the project manager is independent of functional management. Indeed in this model it is the role of functional managers to support the project by providing technical expertise and assigning resources as and when required. Of course in this structure there is potential for conflict between the project manager and the functional manager over resource assignment and cost allocation - as a result excellent communication, strong relationships and a flexible working culture are required.
A functional organizational structure groups employees by their expertise or function, while a matrix structure combines functional and project-based teams. In a functional structure, there is clear hierarchy and specialization, leading to efficient task completion. However, communication and decision-making can be slow. In a matrix structure, there is flexibility and collaboration across departments, but it can lead to confusion and power struggles. Overall, the choice between the two structures depends on the company's goals and needs for efficiency and effectiveness.
Most likely a matrix structure of functional and divisional structures.
An organization can have one of the following structures:- Functional Organizational Structure- Matrix Organizational Structure
Organizational structure of Arvind mills is functional. They give importance to HR functions. It is one of the oldest mills.
The stroma refers to the support structure found within a cell's organelles, such as the chloroplast or mitochondria. On the other hand, the matrix is the internal space within an organelle, like the mitochondria, where various metabolic pathways occur. In essence, the stroma provides structural support, while the matrix is the functional space within the organelle.
