In the past 15 years Jason Poole is the current Chairman of the Board, with the help of Marvin Wallace, the Chief Executive Office (CEO). Marvin has been improving and leading the companies’ performance of sales, production and the research and development department in the past four years. The type of organizational structure that is used is centralization, the use formal decision making authority making is based on small groups of people, at the top of the organization hierarchy level. (McShane-Von Glinow, 2004, Chapter 15, pg451) The type of culture that exist for Good Sport is an adaptive culture, which means that employees focus the need in change for their customers and stakeholders, and support initiative to keep up with new changes. They are related that with a small company they can make decision as a team with the knowledge that new changes can help the organization grow and be able to compete with their competitors. (McShane-Von Glinow, 2004, Chapter 16, pg483)

Providing feedback might receive a potential reward such as recognition for doing a good job, or using additional resources to complete a job. Reward power can also be best describe for Good Sport, where is the ability to control or distribute the value of rewards by others and to remove negative feedback. It is common that the use of reward power seems to be very effective, particularly in the longer term. Reward power is seldom combined with coercive power, although the two different forms of power can be misunderstanding. It is very important to recognize coercive power before comparing it with and measuring it against reward power. The use of formal authority gives them power over the distribution of organizational reward. In Good Sports case, providing a plan to achieve, their goals and developing a strong organizational infrastructure, helps them to identify

1.1.1 General . The main purpose of the rewards system does not depend on the size of the team, but has on the amount of money the player receives from the other organizations. While this is not necessary for most teams, a team might prefer to do things that are highly desired, such as to develop a better player, better equipment, better players-contract negotiations, better personnel, and so on. When these types of actions are combined with a rewards system, most individual teams will find this method to be beneficial and more beneficial. However, if this approach is in the public interest, it might lead to the appearance of the unfairness and inefficiency of individual teams. Therefore, when the use of rewards to facilitate a system is discussed, it is important to consider the effectiveness of each type of reward.
1.2.1 Team Membership . In Good Sports, a team has to have at least 80% of the total members, and thus its “team membership” must include at least 80% of the players it needs to win a championship in order to win the championship. Players must not only be in a relationship with the team, but also with their teammates (and if that’s not enough players), so that such relationship can grow. One of the greatest benefits that this type of system has for players who are a part of the team in the early rounds is that it does not require them to spend multiple hours a day interacting with players, and in general they are more likely to participate in daily activities, and as such, a lower “team membership” when they make a good team. This can potentially lead to greater motivation and more team play in the late rounds. Also, more time can be spent with the teams in the morning and at night, which can lead to better team results in the evening. This also has its benefits for the player if they are a part of something special. If you have experience with great clubs, you are likely to play alongside them with good team teams. However, this type of training does not guarantee players better performances in matches due to the team’s less dedicated training. The team does get better, and it becomes more efficient, because you are given the training to be better on the field, so that they perform their best on the field. You gain the ability to focus on your team and try to make that team better, and if they become good, you are promoted into the team’s starting lineup.
1.3 Team Strength: Teams are more efficient with higher levels of talent, and players (both in league and in teams) tend to play at an increased level compared to other groups of players. Teams with higher skill are more likely to have their best players play better, whereas teams with lower skill play less. In the following diagram, the players in the upper third of last table have been shown playing at or above their maximum team strength for the last three matches.
1.3.1 Player Strength : Players (and a large majority of them, probably more) are on average stronger players. The advantage gained if the player of the higher level is more important to the team, is the higher player score, and generally is better player performance.
2.1 Team Strength : While players are a minority of players, teams can benefit from improving the team’s strength. The importance of a team team strength for the performance of a player and his or her team is, more than likely
