		<description><![CDATA[What key characteristic differentiates matrix organizations from functional or projectized organizations?

A. Team members report to two bosses.
B. The organization is grouped by areas of specialization.
C. After a project is closed, team members move on to other projects.
D. The project manager's role is part-time.

Answer: A. Team members report to two bosses.
Team members in strong, balanced, and weak matrices all have two bosses: the project manager and the functional manager. Specialized groups describe functional organizations while team members move to other projects in projectized organizations. The role of a project manager could be full-time or part-time in matrix organizations.]]></description>
