And why do the society so oppose this phenomenon? 2.1 Reason of doping Athletes, especially elite athletes, desire great perfomance in competition and honor of win.

Basic Concepts Management control system (MCS) is a system which gathers and uses information to evaluate the performance of different organizational resources like human, physical, financial and also the organization as a whole considering the organizational strategies. MCS influences the behavior of organizational resources to implement organizational strategies. MCS might be formal or informal. Control An organization must be controlled to ensure that is strategic intentions are achieved. But controlling an organization is much more complicated than controlling devices. Every control system has at least four elements: 1. Detector or sensor Device that measures what is actually happening in the process being controlled. 2. Assessor Device that determines the significance of what is actually happening by comparing it with some standard or expectation of what should happen. 3. Effector Device that alters behavior if the assessor indicates the need to do so 4. Communications network Device that transmit information between the detector and the assessor and between the assessor and the effector.

...Reimbursement and Pay-for-performance Amy Escobar December 2, 2013 HCS/531 Charles Silveri Reimbursement and Pay-for-performance “Health care and health policy continue to be controversial domestic issues in the United States. Despite a slowing in the rate of growth of annual costs, most Americans feel that their budgets are strained by what they have to pay for health care, and most employers feel that their share of these costs for their employees is excessive. Currently, many Americans still do not have health care coverage” (Shader, 2013). In hopes of diminishing these cost, the United States Congress and President Obama passed a series of laws to help the American public receive the medical care that so needed. As part of these laws came pay-for-performance reimbursement systems. Even though this procedure for payment still has many details to be determined, this value-based payment system can be a response to quality care and performance. Pay-for-performance The newest trend in reimbursing medical providers is called pay-for-performance (P4P). This valued-based strategy allows a predetermined benchmark to be designated for medical care. If the provider meets or exceeds the standard he or she is paid bonuses for such care. If the provider does not meet the standard payment is reduced accordingly or fines may be put into place. The main focus of this form of payment is to reduce excessive medical costs and to increase quality of care of the patient, especially...
