We prove that if the unital $C^*$-algebras $\cl A$ and $\cl B$ satisfy Kadison's similarity property and the length $L=L\left(\cl A\tens\limits_{max}\cl B\right)$ of their maximal tensor product is finite, then $\cl A\tens\limits_{max}\cl \cl B$ satisfies Kadison's similarity property with similarity length $\ell\left(\cl A\tens\limits_{max}\cl B\right)\leq L \max\left\{\ell(\cl A),\,\ell(\cl B)\right\}.$
The $w^{\star}$-rigged modules over dual operator algebras were introduced by Blecher and Kashyap as a generalization of $W^{\star}$-modules. In this paper, we introduce two new types of Morita equivalence between right $w^{\star}$-rigged modules over unital dual operator algebras and we examine whether these notions imply stable isomorphism between the corresponding modules. Furthermore we investigate them in detail for the class of right $w^{\star}$-rigged modules over nest algebras, that was characterised by G.K.Eleftherakis.
