Status bias is the term used to describe the unfortunate fact that communications such as ideas, proposals and papers are often judged not on their merits but on the status of the originator. Researchers at the University of Innsbruck in Austria carried out a study in which they sent out the same academic paper to three groups of reviewers. The first set of reviewers were told the paper was written by Vernon Smith, winner of the Nobel Memorial prize for Economic Studies.

Sometimes, innovation teams will attempt to show fake success in order to hide their real struggles. Have you ever heard of a Potemkin village? According to historical stories, in 1787 Prince Grigory Aleksandrovich Potemkin-Tauricheski of Russia was tasked with settling more Russians into the land of Crimea, which at that time had just been annexed from the Ottoman Empire in 1783.

In 2013, the political scientist Moisés Naím published The End of Power, in which he argued that because of the increase in mobility and technology and decrease in poverty, the power of institutions was diminishing.
