Final answer:
Boeing's reorganization into a matrix organization does not aim to increase specialization, but to enhance communication, flexibility, and resource utilization. Option c)
Step-by-step explanation:
When Boeing reorganized its commercial transport design and manufacturing engineers into a matrix organization, it was expected to yield several benefits. However, the benefit that is not expected from this reorganization is Increased Specialization. A matrix organization generally aims to improve communication, enhance flexibility, and result in efficient resource utilization by combining functional and project-based structures. On the contrary, increased specialization is more associated with functional structures where each unit focuses on its specific task with greater depth. The purpose behind Boeing's move to design-build teams for the 777 was to integrate the expertise of design and manufacturing engineers, bringing together various stakeholders including major airlines and subcontractors to address manufacturing constraints early in the design process and optimize the design for maintenance and manufacturing realities.
