The matrix organization is an alternative to the functional or product forms. In essence, when other structural forms do not work, a firm may try restructuring along matrix lines. Matrix management is an attempt to superimpose the logic of one approach to grouping. A key point to remember is that no organization uses matrix management for the entire organization; rather, the form is an ancillary arrangement employed strictly for project- or product-specific work within the context of an organization that is structured in some other way.
In this system, employees report not only to a functional manager but also to a project team leader or a product manager with regard to product issues. A key feature of the matrix structure is this dual reporting, which violates a traditional principle of establishing reporting relationships. This radical step is taken because the special expertise of the functional worker is deemed essential to the success of the project or product. The assignment may be temporary or long term, depending on the nature of the project.
Matrix management was invented by the U.S. government in the 1960s when it required contractors to have project management systems as a condition for underwriting research and development projects. The creation of such systems had the advantage of providing government contractors-and their agency contacts-with one individual accountable for the project. The existence of this project leader or product manager, who has the overall responsibility for the project and the contributions of all the functional employees participating in it, is the other key feature of matrix management.
