Question

In a university setting, it is common for a professor to report to an academic supervisor in his/her area of educational expertise and to a supervisor overseeing a particular degree such as baccalaureate or master's. This illustrates the ________ structure.

Answer 1

Answer:

matrix structure

Explanation:

Matrix management or structure refers to an organizational structure that allows individuals report to more than one supervisor or leader or superior. This is exemplified above where a professor reports to an academic supervisor in his field and also reports to a supervisor in a Master's degree program. This organizational arrangement or structure sets up reporting relationships in a grid or matrix fashion where there is dual role rather than in a traditional hierarchy.
