The other advantage of the matrix structure is that it allows for a check and balance process for the different groups for DHL to ensure the best overall company structure is established. The disadvantages of having this type of matrix structure is that the section of business has its own agenda and process in how it executes it business model along with difference nuisances and strategies that go with it.

It also builds improper alliance with position of power that limits the reach of voice to communicate feedback or opinion because of fear of backlash. The flow of ideas and best practices is also limited by the barriers of the matrix structure as it keeps each party in their own circle.…
