In a matrix structure, a group member will typically report to ________
A) a project manager only
B) both a project manager and functional department head
C) a functional department head only
D) Group members are fully autonomous in a matrix structure, so they don't report to anyone.
Answer: B
Explanation: Since group members in a matrix structure are recruited from functional departments, they report to their project manager and their department head. This makes the choice regarding both a project manager and functional department head the correct response and eliminates the choices regarding a project manager only and a functional department head only. The choice regarding group members being fully autonomous is incorrect because matrix group members do need to report to managers.
