This book examines social status as a social mechanism and a social
fact that strongly shapes how markets and organizations are
regulated, managed, and preserved over time. The first part of this
book identifies a number of organizational issues and managerial
concerns that can be framed as being a matter of the cognitive
perspectives of social actors, and better explained on the basis of
such conditions. The second part demonstrates the analytical value
of the concept of status in a variety of organizational settings
and market contexts. In the three empirical settings, status does
play a key role when resources such as legitimacy (in urban
development projects), revenues from sales (in video game
marketing), and access to venture capital (in life science
companies) are distributed. This book summarizes and reviews the
academic literature on status and organization studies, as well as
providing valuable information for researchers conducting empirical
testing. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of
Organizations and Social Systems.
