Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Matrix structures group activities vertically by function and horizontally by product or project. This allows for cross-functional collaboration and a focus on specific products or projects, making it appropriate for companies that require flexibility and agility in their operations. The other choices are incorrect because matrix structures typically have fewer hierarchical levels, are not necessarily appropriate for low-skilled workers, do not necessarily support a low-cost strategy, and do not have several product group hierarchies or two forms of horizontal differentiation.
