AbstractProject Matrix Structures are applied in large scale projects & long term projects in many western countries and comes with many successes. How it can apply for small scale & fast track projects in developing countries as VN? There has been a tendency in recent years to manage more activities in more application areas using project management. More organizations are using “management by project.” This is not to say that all operations can or should be organized into projects but the real efficient of the management by project can be the good answer. This Project Report has taken a general view of Project Matrix Structure in theory & application in developed countries then finding out the case study that applied in VN with a relative successful to propose some recommendations to improve & change in suitable with practical condition of VN. Office Fitting-out has started in VN around 15 years from the time VN did the “Open Policy” to open the country and to set up relations with other countries & receiving FDI and ODA. By FDI and ODA from developed countries and International Institutes – Office Fitting-out works are developed very fast in VN with high requirements in doing the fast-track project including high quality of finishing, keeping reasonable cost & schedule. The adoption of “management by project” is also related to the adoption of an organizational culture that is close to the project management culture but this is outside of this report.
