Matrix Organization is a combination of the projectized and the functional organization structures. It is defined as one in which there is dual or multiple managerial accountability and responsibility. In a matrix there are usually two chains of command, one along functional lines and the other along project, product, or client lines. The organization is divided into different functions, e.g. Purchase, Production, R & D, etc. Each function has a Functional (Departmental) Manager, e.g. Purchase Manager, Production Manager, etc. The organization is also divided on the basis of projects e.g. Project A, Project B, etc. Each project has a Project Manager e.g. Project A” Manager, Project B Manager, etc. The employee has to work in a command of two authorities (bosses). The authority of the Functional Manager flows downwards while the authority of the Project Manager flows across (side wards). So, the authority flows downwards and across. Therefore, it is called "Matrix Organization".
