Medicine has been a noble profession since time immemorial. Many cultures have the view that it is linked with the supernatural deity. The persons were priests in many civilizations. They had high status in Society. They were considered as a medium of communication between the supernatural and were assumed to have powers. In those times, those priests used rituals and follow some religious code of conduct for treatment. This was the primitive stage of ethics as a part of religious ritual. Latter with observations, many folk traditional medicine ethics were created in a teacher-student relationship. Further traditional medicine like Ayurveda, TCM, Korean developed, which had mutual interactions in ideology and philosophy. It was evident with the review of these studies and also had a diverse set of rules entertaining behavioral and professional codes for prescriber health care worker and patient for providing rational and safe delivery of health services. However, with the separation of medical science from religion, the positive philosophical background and the behavioral element lost its ground. Thus rationality becomes behavioral In addition, previously, all elements of treatment were done by viadys or healers, but with development, different professions arrived, which incensed scope of error, which is a hurdle to the objective of rational drug use in of drug. Hence, a universal approach of PDAA CYCLE and DRIOP methodology concept to optimize teamwork and ensure rational drug use is conceptualized. This approach has taken into consideration of all elements in the drug use process and has been devised to bridge the gaps leading to irrational use in the modern scenario. This would be helpful in the rational use of widely used drugs like antibiotics, low therapeutic index drugs, chronic illness drugs and also help to improve antibiotic resistance and lead to optimum utilization of resources, which is vital for every country but especially for underdeveloped countries and developing countries like India with high load of infections and other diseases.

“…Not surprisingly, the Egyptians had a writing system based on hieroglyphs (pictures representing words) denoting numerical multiplications of 10 ( Merzbach and Boyer, 2011).

Purpose Although the topic of span of control (SOC) has been discussed in detail in management literature and education, less focus has been placed on the decline research since the 1970s and, thus, the future relevance of the concept. By providing a historical overview of the literature on SOC through the work of key management scholars, this paper aims to explain why the literatures’ coverage of the topic has been significantly diminished in recent decades and offers suggestions as to why further research on the topic is needed. Design/methodology/approach The authors provide a historical literature review and analysis on the decline of SOC as a construct of interest. Findings The findings of the paper include a brief analysis of SOC. The concept was a very strong concept that declined as management became more scientific, rejecting classical management theory. This rejection occurred because SOC was impacted by multiple factors making it impossible to effectively study, making it imprecise. Likewise, SOC is too applied and lacked theoretical relevance. However, SOC still has value, especially when paired with a theory such as leader-member-exchange (LMX). Originality/value The authors argue that SOC is still relevant today and management scholars should align its study with its practice in modern organizational structures. However, its focus needs to change and be added to other theories such as LMX.
