Matrix Management Structure
Corporate Level - Kemedar Country Office
At the top of the management hierarchy, the Kemedar country office oversees all systems through its corporate staff. For instance, the Marketing Director at the corporate office will provide guidance and strategic direction to Marketing Managers across all systems, ensuring consistency and excellence in marketing efforts across the board.
Exclusive System Partner
As an exclusive system partner, you will concentrate specifically on your dedicated system. You will lead a team responsible for nationwide operations, focusing solely on the system’s needs and potential. You are tasked with reporting to the Kemedar country office and will liaise with franchise owners and area office managers. This role is crucial for integrating global strategies with local execution, ensuring that the system operates smoothly and meets set targets.
Franchise Owners and Branch Office Managers
These managers are vital at the local level, handling geographic-specific operations. They report both to the exclusive system partner and the corporate country office, forming a critical link in the operational chain. Their role ensures that local insights and operational challenges are addressed promptly and effectively.
Matrix Structure Implementation for Kemedar’s Franchise and Area Partnerships Department:
-
Dual Reporting Lines:
- Each key role within the area partnership teams reports to both their respective department head at the corporate level and to the corresponding department within the specific system they support.
- For example, the Marketing Manager in an area office would report to the Head of Marketing at the corporate level for overall marketing strategies and to the Marketing Department of the system partner for system-specific initiatives and alignment.
-
Communication and Coordination:
- Regular coordination meetings should be scheduled to ensure that all stakeholders are aligned and that the dual reporting structure is functioning smoothly.
- Systems such as shared digital workspaces, integrated planning tools, and regular reporting protocols can be implemented to facilitate communication across different teams and levels.
-
Role Clarifications:
- Clear job descriptions should be provided, outlining the responsibilities towards both the corporate department and the system-specific department.
- This clarity will help prevent conflicts of interest and confusion about responsibilities and reporting.
-
Conflict Resolution Mechanisms:
- Establish clear guidelines and mechanisms for resolving any conflicts that arise from dual reporting structures.
- This could include mediation by HR, consultation with higher management, or predefined rules on priority setting between corporate and system-specific objectives.
-
Performance Management:
- Performance reviews should consider inputs from both reporting lines. This will require a collaborative approach to performance evaluations between different managers.
- Specific KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) should be established that reflect contributions to both corporate and system-specific goals.
-
Training and Development:
- Provide training to all managers and employees on effectively working within a matrix structure, focusing on skills such as multitasking, effective communication, and conflict resolution.
- Continuous learning opportunities should be offered to adapt to evolving organizational needs and personal career growth.
Implementing such a matrix structure can be complex but highly beneficial in aligning goals and operations across different segments of a large organization like Kemedar. It enhances flexibility, fosters a deeper understanding of multiple business areas, and promotes a collaborative culture.

More Details
Equity Accrual
In addition to profit sharing, Partner will also accumulate equity in the company managing the System. This equity accrual process will begin after signing contract and onset of partnership for the initial 30 months of operation, marking the transition from initial stabilization to mature operation. From this point, Partner’s equity in the company will increase by 1% per month. This gradual equity accrual strategy is designed to incentivize sustained engagement and performance by the Partner over the long term. By the end of 30 months, depending on the commencement date, Partner could own up to 30% of the company, aligning long-term financial rewards with the continuous success of the System.
