. Managers make choices about how to use the chain of command to group people together to perform their work. There are five approaches to structural design that reflect different uses of the chain of command in departmentalization. The functional, divisional and matrix are traditional approaches that rely on the chain of command to define groupings and reporting relationships. Two contemporary approaches are the use of teams and networks.

Conclusions

The companies must carefully decide whether the divisional or functional structure better suits their needs. It is now uncommon for a company to try one structure and then switch to another as its needs change. The functional boss is responsible for the technical and personnel issues, such as quality standards, providing technical training and assigning technical personnel projects. The divisional boss is responsible for program wide issues, such as overall design decision, schedule deadlines, and coordinating technical specialists from several functions.

Conclusions
The matrix boss is the product or functional boss. The matrix boss is responsible for one side of matrix. The top leader is responsible for entire matrix. The top leader oversees both the product and functional chains of command. His or her responsibility is to maintain a power balance between the two sides of the matrix.
