    MIT has a matrix organizational structure that leans towards a weak matrix. It is comprised mostly of functional managers like deans who are responsible for teaching in different fields of study. It also has a large faculty staff and a vice president of research office that coordinates projects and resources between deans, professors, students, and the financial office. MIT's culture is one of inclusion, innovation, discovery, and competition as reflected in its motto of "mind and hand." It takes pride in the accomplishments of its graduates and 95 Nobel Laureates. However, it also has an elitist culture due to recent admission scandals and high tuition prices.

    MIT ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

    Type of Organizational Structure


    MIT is a matrix type of organization with leaning towards a weak matrix

    WHY
    MIT's organizational structure is comprised mostly of functional managers. Deans who run the teaching for each of the
    fields of study; this is an operational endeavour. It also has a large faculty staff. On the other hand, it has a relevant
    "Vice President of Research" function, which I see as a Project Management Office that needs resources; professors
    and students, from the Deans, and funds from the financial office. The influence of this office might be rather weak.
    Nonetheless, MIT is an organization that praises itself for being innovative and research-oriented. It is one of the most
    important contributors to technological advancement worldwide, which comes from their project pool. Its mission
    statement refers: “The Institute is committed to generating, disseminating, and preserving knowledge” [ CITATION
    MIT201 \l 1033 ]. To me, “generating knowledge” means scientific project are part of their core.

    MIT’s Culture
    The culture at MIT is a culture of inclusion and openness, 32% of its students are from minorities, and 48% are
    women. Even the president of the organization is not American, he is venezuelan.
    MIT is proud of its educational system, and the results their graduates had provided to the world's advancement.
    Innovation, discovery and passion for hard work are reflected in its motto "mens et manus" [ CITATION MIT201 \l
    1033 ] (mind and hand), therefore creating a culture of healthy competition, and growth. Curiosity, also, seems to be
    part of its culture due to the number of Nobel Laureates the organization has, 95. Finally, I believe it has an elitist
    culture, based on the last admission scandal and the high tuition prices.
