- Matrix Structure
- Combines the traditional departments of a functional structure with project teams. When employees from different departments come together to work towards a project
- Advantages
- It can help to break down traditional departmental barriers, improving communication across the entire organisation
- It can allow individuals to use particular skills in a variety of contexts
- It avoids the needs for several departments to meet regularly so reduces costs and improves coordination
- Disadvantages
- Members of project teams may have divided loyalties, as they report to two or more line managers
- There may not be a clear line of accountability for project teams, given the complex nature of matrix structures
