Explanation

In a Functional organizational structure (C), employees are grouped by specialty (e.g., IT, Finance, HR), and when project work is needed, team members are selected from within their own functional department. The functional manager retains authority over personnel. A Projectized (A) structure forms dedicated teams whose members are often drawn from across the organization with no permanent departmental home. Balanced Matrix (B) and Strong Matrix (D) structures share resources between functional managers and project managers, but project managers have more authority than in a purely functional structure.
