The document discusses different types of organizational structures: line, functional, matrix, project, and line & staff. It provides details on each structure type. The line structure is the oldest and simplest, with direct supervision from supervisors to subordinates. The functional structure groups employees by common skills/jobs into departments. The matrix structure has employees report to both project managers and department heads. The project structure allocates most resources to complete projects. And the line & staff structure modifies the line structure with additional staff support roles.

6. Line organization structure is the oldest and simplest form of organization.
In these organizations, a supervisor exercises direct supervision over a
subordinate.
Economical and effective, It also allows quick decisions and efficient
coordination.
This type of an organization is also called a military organization or a scalar-
type organization.
In a line organization, the responsibility for the performance of tasks is fixed
upon definite individuals.

A Matrix Organization Is A Work Structure Where Team Members
Report To Multiple Leaders.
In A Matrix Organization, Team Members (Whether Remote Or In-
house) Report To A Project Manager As Well As Their Department
Head.

10. How do Matrix organization works?
Matrix organizations have two or more management reporting structures. While this
may seem confusing at first, team members typically have a primary manager for
their department.
Reporting to a department manager functions similarly to a traditional work structure.
For example, team members working in IT report to the IT department head. The IT
department head reports to the vice president of their division. Eventually, all
reporting relationships lead to the CEO.
The difference in a matrix structure is that team members also report to project
managers. Projects often require work from members of various departments like IT,
marketing, and finance, which is why having a separate manager for individual
projects makes sense.

13. A Functional Organization Structure Is A Type Of Organizational Structure Where
Employees Are Grouped Based On Their Common Skills, Expertise, Or Job
Functions.
In This Type Of Structure, Employees Are Organized Into Departments.
Each Department Is Headed By A Manager Or Director Who Reports To The Top-
level Management Of The Organization.
This Type Of Structure Is One Of The Most Common Types In Business, Especially
In Larger Companies.

16. Line And Staff Organization Is A Modification Of Line Organization And It Is More
Complex Then Line Organization.
It Is A Structure That Distributes Works Responsibilities From Upper
Management To Lower- Level Employees.
For Example-
A Department Store Could Use The Line-staff Organization. The Line Managers
Might Include The Store Manager, Who Monitors Sales Goals And Creates Shifts For
All Employees, As Well As The Department Supervisors, Who Manage The Shoe,
Jewelry And Apparel Sections.

19. A Project Organization Structure Helps Get Clear Communication Guidelines And
Procedures Because It Is Used To Communicate The Roles And Responsibilities Of
Each Team Member.
An Organizational Structure In Which The Project Manager Has Full Authority To
Assign Priorities, Apply Resources, And Direct The Work Of Persons Assigned To The
Project.
Example:- Arizona Construction Company Is A Projectized Organization: The
Majority Of Their Resources Are Allocated Against Delivering Projects For External
Customers, Although They Do Hav A Few Back-office Workers Who Process The
Timecards, Issue Payroll.
