This week’s lecture describes that there are 3 different organizational structures: functional, projectized, and matrix organizations. Each organizational structure greatly impacts the way the company manages projects and how employees work. What do you think are some pros and cons for each organizational structure and which structure do you prefer?

I personally favor functional organizations because I like the idea of having different teams with a specific functionality (i.e. marketing, manufacturing, R&D) working on their respective parts of the project to get the job done. Therefore, the project is less overwhelming since it is broken down into several parts for each department to handle.
