What is the Matrix Organization Model?

The video discusses the complexities and challenges of matrix organizations, using Techco and Megaco as a case study. It highlights the multiple dimensions of matrix structures, such as brand, country, and function, and the resulting conflicts and inefficiencies. The video critiques the matrix model for its stress on managers and suggests that while it can prevent over-centralization, it often creates more centers of power. Recommendations include granting managers autonomy and ensuring access to information, though these are deemed unrealistic in practice.
