| Abstract: | Matrix management of projects, it is argued, may generate normative conflict, prompting project and functional managers to engage in nonconformist conflict behavior which challenges the division of authority in matrix. An analysis of such struggles has been lacking yet. The present study fills this gap. Distinguishing between retreatism, manipulation and rebellion, forms and outcomes of such power struggles are explored in a case study of the R&D establishment of a multinational corporation. |
