Answer to Question 1

The matrix organizational structure was developed to obtain the benefits of both the traditional functional and product forms of departmentalization . In this form, an employee is required to report to two managers (one functional, the other product). This duality of authority requires a significant amount of coordination, flexibility, openness, and trust.
The matrix structure is appropriate for medium-sized businesses with several product lines operating in a complex and uncertain environment. These businesses do not possess the resources to establish fully self-contained operating units.

Answer to Question 2

B
