Idea Stealing:
"Nothing is so easy to steal as the right bright idea.
The department manager appropriates his subordinate’s idea and presents it as hos own to the company vice president, who in turn adopts the idea and presents it as his own to the company president, who in turn presents it as his own to the board of directors, which rewards the president with a $25,000 a year raise. In New York’s publishing world idea stealing is called ‘Let’s have lunch.’"
