Synopsis

What am I supposed to do differently? That is often what we want to know when contemplating a change in organizational structure. This book answers that question for the matrix organization. Matrix management is more than dotted-line relationships or sharing staff. Its about the roles, rules, and tools required for success. This book spells out the design of the matrix organization; and discusses implementation strategies; and reviews the common pitfalls and ways to overcome them. Real-life examples on the use of matrix management in business and government sectors are detailed. Business sector examples include manufacturing, research and development and information-technology.
