Imagine that your company is switching to a matrix structure. Assume the company is ABC Trailers that manufactures and sells large trailers - all types from utility, covered, flatbed trailers. Before, you were working in a functional structure. Now, every employee is going to report to a team leader as well as a department manager. In several well written paragraphs, please answer the question below:

1. What are the sources of resistance you foresee for a change such as this?
2. What is your plan of action to overcome this potential resistance?

In your peer responses, please write from the perspective of a manager reviewing the plan of action, evaluate whether it will succeed or not. How could you alter it to increase the chances that the switch to a matrix structure will be successful?
