People go to extraordinary lengths to gain and defend their status.
Those with higher status are listened to more, receive more
deference from others, and are perceived as having more power.
People with higher status also tend to have better health and
longevity. In short, status matters. Despite the importance of
status, particularly in the workplace, it has received
comparatively little attention from management scholars. It is only
relatively recently that they have turned their attention to the
powerful role that social status plays in organizations. This book
brings together this important work, showing why we should
distinguish status from power, hierarchy and work quality. It also
shows how a better understanding of status can be used to address
problems in a number of different areas, including strategic
acquisitions, the development of innovations, new venture funding,
executive compensation, discrimination, and team diversity effects.
