two bosses, which can add confusion, and conflicts may arise, particularly in the balanced matrix environment where both bosses have equal authority and power.<\/li>\n<li>Conflicts may arise between the bosses regarding the power and authority.<\/li>\n<li>Employees may become confused regarding their roles and responsibilities, especially when they are assigned to a task which is somewhat different than what they were doing.<\/li>\n<li>Sometimes unclear priorities may also confuse the employees.<\/li>\n<li>Generally matrix organizations have more managers, which make overhead cost very high.<\/li>\n<li>Many times in matrix organizations, workload is high.

Organizations must communicate their vision, objectives and goal with the employees.<\/li>\n<li>There must be close cooperation between the project manager and the functional manager to avoid confusion and conflicts.<\/li>\n<li>Conflict between the project manager and the functional manager must resolve as early as possible, and in private.<\/li>\n<li>Roles and responsibilities must be documented and clearly communicated to avoid the confusion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Questions &amp; Answers<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>A form of project organization where power is evenly shared between the functional manager and the project manager is called<\/strong>\n<ul type=\"A\">\n<li>A.
