This has to be one of the most profound defenses of the matrix organization I have ever read. The author is a extremely well-regarded OD academic and author, and still, he has a markedly defensive tone, and rushes over some issues that would have deserved a better treatment/defense. It is well written, but even the author can't make a very convincing case that the matrix organization is the be-all (and he doesn't even try, to his credit) and some of the cases that he describes as "matrix", you're hard-pressed to even detect the difference to a multi-divisional company with a HQ…
It deserves to be read, but that is the best that can be said about it.
