B Liaison devices
5 important questions on B Liaison devices
When a considerable amount of contact is necessary to coordinate the work of two units, a "liaison" position may be established formally to route the communication directly, bypassing the vertical channels.
- Does this position of liaison contact, carry a formal authority?
- The position carries no formal authority, but because the incumbent serves at the crossroads of communication channels, he emerges as a nerve centre of the organization with considerable power.
The task force is a committee formed to accomplish a particular task and then disband.
- In contrast, what does the standing committee do?
- The standing committee is a more permanent interdepartmental grouping, one that meets regularly to discuss issues of common interest.
When more coordination by mutual adjustment is required than liaison positions, task forces, and standing committees can provide, the organization may designate an integrating manager.
- What is an integrating manager?
- An integrating manager is in a liaison position with formal authority.
- The formal power of the integrating manager always includes some aspects of the decision processes that cut across the affected departments, but it never (by definition) extends to formal authority over the departmental personnel. That would make the person department manager instead of integrating manager.

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
By using the matrix structure, the organization avoids choosing one basis of grouping over another; it chooses both.
- What does it choose?
- It chooses both functional and marked based.
In the simplest terms, matrix structure represents the effort, organizationally speaking, to have your cake and eat it, too. But in so doing, the organization sets up a dual authority structure.
- What's the result of this authority structure?
- As a result, the matrix structure sacrifices the principle of unity of command.
- A delicate balance of power is created. This balance of formal power is what distinguishes matrix structure from the other means of handling residual interdependencies, including the other liaison devices.
