Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A matrix organization is formed by overlaying one structure (usually project-based) onto a pre-existing functional structure. This allows employees to work on specific projects while still maintaining their functional roles within the organization. Option B is incorrect because a product structure is a type of organizational structure itself, and cannot be superimposed onto another structure. Option C is also incorrect because a process structure is not commonly used in matrix organizations. Option D is incorrect because the informal organizational structure is not a specific type of structure that can be superimposed onto a formal structure.
