The Program Manager and the Matrix Organization.

Abstract

The report provides a summary of a study undertaken to investigate the principal problem areas encountered by a program manager when operating in a matrix organizational environment. The study correlates the findings of prior research efforts available in the literature and textbook theory with 'real world' data obtained from the Air Force's Aeronautical Systems Division, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, through structured interviews. Findings are reported in the areas of conflict identification, manpower/resource 'savings', intra-organizational communications, personnel appraisal techniques and methods of establishing effective functional/program office working arrangements.
