This structure employs one person answerable two immediate supervisors: a functional supervisor and a project supervisor. The functional supervisor is responsible for overseeing employees in a functional area such as marketing or engineering where as a project supervisor will manage a specific and often impermanent project. They usually work with employees from different functional areas to complete their project teams. Few of the advantages of a Matrix structure are having resource co-ordination, Specialization which helps in placing employees in functional areas allows them to specialize in a particular field. The advantage of having specialized employees is that they are experts at particular tasks in their field with focus. This is a necessity as some projects require specialized focus.

I used to overlook this notion as a simple concept that’s easy to accomplish within a team. However, I’ve learnt that it is not so easily achieved. Functional interprofessional collaboration is integral in delivering optimal health care and promotion. Successful interprofessional collaboration is important for nursing students, such as myself, as it is a concept and skill that is applicable to multiple contexts.

To organise for project management requires an understanding of the organisation’s architecture which includes the organisational hierarchy - the grouping of internal business units, the authority lines and interaction with one another. Each of these aspects should be designed to support project management within the organisation. Structure should follow strategy or else it may impede communication, coordination and decision making which are all key to success (Brevis, 2014, p. 224). Hence, an important function of upper management is to support project teams by either redesigning the organisation to emphasize projects or integrating projects into the current organisation (Graham & Englund, 2004).
Introduction Sustainability has been mentioned as a goal of businesses. During the mid 1990s John Elkington created the triple bottom line plan under the concept of sustainability. Sustainability can be defined in many ways, but the simplest way is “Ability to sustain” (Sustainability, 2010). The triple bottom line is an accounting framework, and there are three dimensions of sustainability among them people, planet and profit (3Ps). The concept of TBL is to measure the profitable, social and environmental performance of the company.
The supervision model presented by Davys and Beddoes (2010) reflects on the development and management and uses triangle for each point to have a supervisor role, this includes: • Handling service delivery • Organisation procedures, protocols and policies • Quantity and quality of work priorities and

The concepts and practices put into place within the company, production lines, professional community, social spaces and territorial organisation revolutionised the means and manner in which modern industry interacted with society. Founded in 1908 in Ivrea, the company initially produced just typewriters, but expanded exponentially over the next decades to touch upon multiple other sectors; an aggregation that seemed to many to be an eclectic approach to business but rapidly gained supporters for it’s comprehensive philosophy. At the root of the Olivetti philosophy stood the belief of integration between the modern industrial
The different type of structures (1) Functional – each portion of the organisation is grouped according to its purpose. (2) Matrix - ‘’ creates project teams that cut across traditional functional departments, instead of highlighting the role or status of individuals, it gathers together a team of specialists with the objective of completing a task or a project successfully ‘’ . (3) Divisional – It is the grouping of workers on the basis of products being produced, followed by the functional structure. There are two types of divisional structure , (a) Product structure (b) Process structure (4) Geographical – It is the grouping of workers on the basis of regions, followed by the functional structure and , (5) Hierarchical structure which has been adopted by Ritz Carlton.
