I believe when two companies team up, there needs to be some type of organization that occurs so that effective communication occurs and that the product is being developed well enough to be put on to the market. As said previously, I believe that the matrix organization is the best way to keep that good management and keep a good communication between the two companies. Although Dr. Simon says there are some disadvantages, the benefits definitely outweigh them. Some of the disadvantages are that everyone has two or more bosses, the department schedules can conflict, and functional heads and project leaders must negotiate for resources. These are some small disadvantages that can be worked around to allow the product on the market and to have it be successful and introduce major profits. The project manager would just have to work a little extra to meet everyone’s schedules and to make sure that everyone is doing their job. They would also have to put some more time in order to obtain certain resources for the team to work with. But to answer the question, the project manager may have it a little easier to be a part of the project-based organization since it is organized in that way and they can delegate work a little bit more easier. But for it to be effective, I do believe that the matrix organization would gear towards a more effective system in terms of profits and getting the product on the market efficiently.
