Compare and contrast between a line organization and a matrix organization. Also identify the kind of firms where such organizational structures would be most suitable.
LINE ORGANIZATION: This is known as military type organization, because in military discipline is of high order. Orders and instructions issued from the top have to be followed by the lowers. So in this type of organization, orders of General Manager are to be carried out without any say by subordinates and hence no chances of shifting of responsibility and hence known as military type of organization.
As in this organization, the flow of authority moves from top to bottom in vertical lines, therefore, it is also called line of scalar organization.
Applications:
1. Such organization is suitable for factory of small and medium size, in which subordinates and operational staff is not too much.
2. Suitable for continuous process such as sugar, paper, oil refining, spinning and weaving industries etc.
3. Suitable where labour problems are not difficult to solve.
4. Suitable where automatic plants are used.
MATRIX ORGANIZATION: Matrix organization is used when an organization has to handle variety of projects, ranging from small to large. When a pure project structure is superimposed on a functional structure, the result is matrix structure. In other words the matrix organization is a project organization plus a functional organization.
The project structure provides a horizontal lateral dimension to the traditional vertical orientation of the functional organization structure.
