matrix organization  

Definición

  • Matrix organization implies a mixed organizational form in which traditional vertical hierarchy is overlaid by a horizontal structure consisting of projects, products, and business subsidiaries or geographical areas. The key characteristic of a matrix organization is its multiple command structures whereby employees experience dual or multiple lines of authority, responsibility, and accountability that distinguish it from the traditional one-boss principle in classical organizational design.
