Draft and label a matrix structure for an organisation having two project teams: - Leaving Cert Business - Question 4 - 2006

To create a matrix structure for an organization with two project teams, follow these steps:

1. Identify Shareholders and Management: At the top of the structure, place 'SHAREHOLDERS' above the 'MANAGING DIRECTOR'. This shows the governance of the organization.

2. Departmental Organization: Below the 'MANAGING DIRECTOR', create three separate departments: 'PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT', 'MARKETING DEPARTMENT', and 'FINANCE DEPARTMENT'. This can be done using horizontal lines to indicate that these departments report directly to the managing director.

3. Project Team Allocation: Under each department, allocate the two project teams. Label them as 'PROJECT TEAM 1' and 'PROJECT TEAM 2'. Each project team should have access to staff from all three departments. This indicates the cross-functional collaboration within the matrix structure.

4. Staffing Representation: Beneath each project team, indicate that they will be supported by 'PRODUCTION STAFF', 'MARKETING STAFF', and 'FINANCE STAFF'. Make sure to label these clearly to depict the shared resources each project team has at their disposal.
