Overview: Matrix management is not a new concept. Since very long time organizations have known that there was a need to find new ways of handling the cross-functional or horizontal needs in a vertically aligned organization. They assumed that in order to get work done you needed authority and control and so the dual-reporting structure was created that assigned one person to two bosses who could exercise authority over him. This was the wrong solution to a real problem and as a result, the old matrix management fell into disfavor in the 1980's. The old matrix management maintained the central idea that authority was needed to get things done and continued to focus on the vertical dimension - the dimension of reporting relationships.
