Soldiers and other military people wearuniforms with various other symbols to indicatetheir status.But in the business world everyonewears more or less similar suits，and you cannot tellat a glance who ranks higher or lower thananother.So how do people in the business world showtheir superiority? An attempt to study this wasmade by two researchers using a series of silent films.They had two actors play the parts of anexecutive(經(jīng)理)and a visitor，and switch roles each time.The scene had one man at his deskplaying the part of an executive，while the other，playing the part of a visitor，knocks at thedoor，opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter.
