Question

Century Motors was awarded a bid to build an energy-efficient motor for a large government heating and cooling project. The requirements of the project included a timeline of one year to build and deliver the system. In order to provide a quality product and meet its deadline, Century Motors set up a __________ organization, whereby employees from various functions of the business would join a team to see this project through from start to finish. Upon completion, the team would disband and members would return to their respective functional units.

Answer 1

By employing such an organizational structure, Century Motors most likely set up a Matrix Organization.

A Matrix organization:

• Incorporates people from multiple departments and functions
• Will see people answering to multiple managers of those various departments
• Usually disband after a project is done

The actions of Century Motors are in line with a Matrix Organization in that people from multiple functions were incorporated into the team and the team will disband when the project is done.

We can therefore conclude that this is a matrix organization.
