Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of matrix organizations, a structure that has become increasingly common in research and development (R&D) settings. The author examines the dynamics of influence between project managers and functional managers, focusing on their competing roles in areas like project work, personnel assignments, and salary and promotion decisions. The book explores the tension that arises from the need to balance "input-oriented" forces, focused on technical excellence, and "output-oriented" forces, driven by market needs and project deadlines. The author argues that while a true matrix organization strives for balance, in practice, one set of managers often dominates, resulting in "paper matrix" situations. The book presents a unique perspective on the importance of achieving balance in influence, especially regarding internal project affairs, to maximize project performance. Through a detailed analysis of data from almost 100 matrixed teams across ten different technology-based organizations, the author uncovers a surprising finding: while balance in internal influence is crucial, organizational influence is best achieved when project managers hold greater sway within the larger organization. This powerful insight sheds light on the inherent conflicts and complexities of managing in a matrix structure, highlighting the need for a nuanced approach to empower teams and achieve optimal outcomes in R&D environments. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
