Matrix Management Definition

Matrix management is a technique of managing an organisation (or, more commonly, part of an organisation) through a series of dual-reporting relationships instead of a more traditional linear management structure. It combines functional and product departments in a dual authority system. In its simplest form, a matrix configuration may be known as a cross-functional work team, which brings together individuals who report to different parts of the company in order to complete a particular project or task (Malonis, 2000).
