  2. ISUAL Management Structure • The University of California is a non-profit institution which does not financially support research activities • Very low overhead rate supports only buildings, utilities, part of purchasing cost, etc. • Personnel structure provides pay scales, compliance to FAR’s, benefits, etc. • The University accepts only cost reimbursement contracts • Requires careful management of Project to avoid creeping requirements • Programs at SSL are run using a management system which combines elements of both Project Oriented and Matrix Organizations NCKU UCB Tohoku ISUAL Progammatics H.

  3. ISUAL Management Structure (con’t) • Programs are typically run using a dedicated “Skunk Works” Project Structure organized around the Principal Investigator • Characterized by a small group of scientists and engineers who stay with the project from start to finish • Requires a high degree of versatility on the part of the engineering staff • The same person will perform design, analysis, fabrication oversight, and testing, as the project moves from proposal through launch • A given staff member may fill a number of different boxes on the organization chart • Advantages of the Skunk Works approach • Greatly facilitates communication among project personnel • Provides a more interesting work place which attracts higher quality people • Reduces cost NCKU UCB Tohoku ISUAL Progammatics H.
