a team approach to separate projects. the basic functional structure still exists, but representatives from each functional area oversee their concerns within each project that is operating at one time. there would be a manager in charge of the human resources, a manager in charge of finance and an operations manager.

positive aspects of the matrix structure:

- control decentralised, ensuring better monitoring of all aspects of a job

- many opportunities for vertical or horizontal career decisions

difficulties of the matrix structure:

- communication between projects and the head office can become difficult because of the complexity of the structure

- may be staffing issues when project is finished if there isn't another to being immediately

works best for large scale organizations that would be dealing with multiple projects at one time.

eg: a movie studio, large advertising agency, large building firm.
