TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Saved me massive time.

Answer to Question 3

The disadvantages of a matrix structure are:
1. A matrix lacks the advantages of bureaucratic structure. With a flat hierarchy and few rules and SOPs, the matrix lacks a control structure that allows employees to develop stable expectations of each other. As a result, a matrix structure can produce role ambiguity and role conflict.
2. The lack of a clearly defined hierarchy of authority can lead to conflict between functions and product teams over the use of resources.
3. People who work in a matrix often complain about high levels of stress and uncertainty. Over time, people in a matrix structure are likely to experience a vacuum of authority and responsibility and move to create their own informal organization to provide them with some sense of structure and stability.
