Beatrix is working in a Matrix approach of structural design.

Explanation:

In a matrix type of approach, individuals from different functional departments work together. They work to achieve a common goal. hey all work under a project manager and this creates a dual-reporting organization structure.

It is a good way to share talent and skills that is in different departments.

In the given situation when Beatrix has one manufacturing manager for Northeast division and one product manager, it is a matrix approach. As it has different departments and different talents of the individuals who are working under Beatrix.
