Difference between matrix management and function management?
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.
