=Project 04-Organizational Structure=

We have learned about different organizational structures. Remember that there are two major structural forms: Functional and Matrix. Many schools are organized using a functional organization structure. Teachers are organized into departments such as English, Math, Science, and Business. The matrix organizational structure is based upon specific projects, products, or customer groups. For this project, your team will design an organizational chart poster that illustrates a matrix structure for our school.

How will you organize Spring Woods High School? By projects? By needs? Perhaps according to majors? Once you have decided on how to organize the school, you will need to list the team members needed for each team, including the "hub" of the matrix (which will be your support personnel). Now that you've designed your matrix and listed the personnel required for each team, Then you will illustrate your research on a poster. You may create a paper poster on poster board, or you may create an electronic poster using PowerPoint, Word, or even Glogster. Lastly, you will close out the project by developing a comprehensive paragraph that explains the advantages and disadvantages of the matrix structure. The poster will be evaluated using the assigned rubric.
