Advantages N Disadvantages

Matrix structures allow for more efficient information exchange and use of resources compared to other organizational structures. Information is shared both vertically and horizontally between departments as employees from different specializations communicate. This level of communication and collaboration improves motivation as employees feel more involved in decision making. It also leads to better management as top leaders become more informed about daily operations. However, matrix structures require extensive training and time to implement successfully, as well as a workforce with strong interpersonal skills and diversity of skills. Conflicts also need to be regularly resolved for the structure to work.
