Question

You describe to your students a new committee within the university that brings together specialists from all different departments to develop a new interdisciplinary program. The structure of the committee best meets the definition of the ________ structure.

Answer 1

Answer: Matrix structure

                             

Explanation: A matrix organizational structure seems to be a framework of a corporation where the reporting interactions are defined as a network or matrix instead of in the conventional hierarchy.

In a matrix company, the administration has several, rather than opting to line up employees along functional, regional or product divisions. Employees respond to a functional supervisor who can assist with expertise and help plan and review research as well as to a product range manager who determines the company's course on product range.

Thus, from the above we can conclude that the given case depicts matrix structure.
