people

Matrix Organization
- It is used mainly in the management of large projects or product
development processes, drawing employees from different functional
disciplines for assignment to a team without removing them from their
respective positions.
- Matrix management is a type of organizational management in which
people with similar skills are pooled for work assignments.
Advantage to the matrix structure lies in the efficient use of resources because of
ease of access. This structure also demonstrates efficient communication both
vertically and horizontally.
Because of this, once the projects have ended, the team members are likely to
receive a job elsewhere in the organization.
Liaisons: are used to integrate two groups not part of the same
organization, useful between the people who fund the project and the
project team.
