Companies structured based on functional, project, and matrix organization have their individual advantages and disadvantages, as discussed during this week’s lecture. I work in a hybrid organization that utilizes functional and matrix structure. The hybrid organizational approach uses project managers that work with functional area representatives such as regulatory, engineering, quality to mention a few. These project managers also report to other project managers at higher levels of the organization that allow transparency and escalation of issues when they arise. I believe that matrix organizations are more effective and efficient as advantages are far greater than disadvantages such as better management of resources, no department silos, and team collaboration.
