This book examines an innovative kind of management and organization and provides a practical guide to its implementation. Backed up with case studies to illustrate the main points, the book tells what a matrix is, what organizations might need it, when and how to implement it, and what to do when something goes wrong. Geared to a broad range of present and potential managers and administrators in all complex organizations-industrial, governmental, and not-for-profit-the book translates this new organizational system into an understandable and usable alternative to the traditional centralization-decentralization choice.
