FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION PICTUREMAXX AG
The organizational structure of picturemaxx AG is a matrix model in which the tasks are divided up according to performance and object principles.
In this case, the performance principle means the orientation of each organizational unit to its tasks (the vertical structure); the object principle means orientation to the work object by object managers (the horizontal structure).
The organization is based on well-qualified employees, who have highly-developed communication and team skills and supports flexible and innovative responses to problems. The discipline-specific line management function and the organizational management powers fall under the authority of the functional entities. The object managers fill positions using only specialized employees from the vertical structure and these positions are limited in duration to the work object or project duration. Decision making powers that relate to the work object are divided between the functional entities and the object managers for the duration of the object.
The intensive exchange of information between functional entities and object managers is intended as a means of ensuring higher-quality decisions.
The underlying principle informing the picturemaxx AG matrix organization is the clear definitions of problems and a highly developed process architecture model.
