Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chart 6.1 depicts a matrix organization where employees report to both a regional director and a global product head. The global product heads are accountable for the profit and loss of their product in worldwide sales, indicating that choice D is the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect because product groups are not necessarily considered as different departments, but rather are a component of the matrix structure. Choice B is incorrect because while regional directors are responsible for managing employees in their region, they are not responsible for product groups. Choice C is also incorrect because while global product heads may integrate different functional areas, they are not necessarily considered full-time staff integrators.
