A matrix structure is superior to a functional and a divisional structure. Please‚ comment on this statement. In your answer‚ pay special attention to advantages and disadvantages of each structure and discuss them systematically. "If the body be feeble‚ the mind will not be strong" (Thomas Jefferson‚ 1786). If the foundation something is built upon is weak‚ the whole object will be adversely affected. Likewise‚ in an abstract manner‚ it is with any kind of model or structure. Looking at it from

DEFINITION In the economic literature no one generally corresponding definition for the concept "Matrix-Organisation" exists. Nevertheless some general principles can be found: -While in the conventional organisation forms just one criterion is selected and used for the structure on a certain level‚ it is typical for the matrix organisation that simultaneously and with equal rights two or more structure features are taken into consideration. -Thereby emerges a "mixed organisation form"‚ which also

Persuasive Speech Self-Evaluation My topic for my Persuasive Speech was on‚ “Why should you adopt a pet?” In class‚ when we were in groups looking over our classmates outlines‚ my topic was on seatbelt safety law. I thought that topic wasn’t strong enough to have an argument with. Somehow‚ in my group we were talking about pets that we have adopted. Then‚ I thought why not a speech on why you should adopt a pet. I myself have adopted a dog and volunteered at the SPCA about a year ago so I thought
