  This book has one overriding objective for its reader: to share  the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to survive and thrive in  a matrix organization. Of course, these are important in any  organization but their mastery is vital to managing the matrix.     Despite its effectiveness being challenged since the 1980s, the  matrix organizational structure is still widely used. However,  managers continue to feel that they are hindered rather than helped  by such structures, with their employees being confused over  conflicting loyalties as line managers retain central control and  dotted line managers impose extra demands.     On top of these internal organisational challenges of vertical  and horizontal management, organizations now operate in an unstable  global economic climate, where strategic uncertainty and increasing  levels of organisational rationalisation, mergers and acquisitions  have increased the demands on leaders and managers of such  organisations yet further.     Many organisations have failed to recognise the need for  development of the skills necessary to navigate matrices, such as  communication, influencing, coaching, negotiation and conflict  management.     This book redresses this shortfall by explaining why companies  continue to have such faith in matrix management, what the benefits  and primary challenges are of matrix structures and most  significantly, provides the tools, techniques and tips for those  operating within a matrix structure on how they can succeed in an  ever-increasingly challenging and complex global environment.
