ExampleExample
Nike culture used to encourage local managers to focus on market share rather than profitability.
This lead to Wall Street to comment on the lack of managerial control at Nike.
Nike decided to implement a matrix structure to resolve this issue.
This matrix structure clearly stated local managers’ responsibilities by region and product.
Nike headquarters establishes which products to focus on and how to do it under the new matrix structure.
