Apple tops 'Most Admired Companies' list!

 

Fortune Magazine on Monday announced its 26th annual list of "America's Most Admired Companies." This year Apple tops the list, rising six places from 2007. Apple beat out Berkshire Hathaway and General Electric to top the list.

 

Fortune and its survey partner Hay Group start with the Fortune 1,000 list as a baseline, which ranks the 1,000 largest U.S. companies by revenue, then sort them by industry and select the ten largest companies in each. They then ask executives, directors and analysts to rate companies in their own industry on eight criteria ranging from investment value to social responsibility.

 

The top 20 list is culled from the responses submitted by 3,721 executives, directors and security analysts who had responded to the surveys to select the ten companies they admired the most. They chose from a list comprising the companies that ranked in the top 25 percent in the 2007 survey, plus those that finished in the top 20 percent in their industry.

 

The full results appear online now. They'll also be in the March 17th edition of Fortune, which hits newsstands on March 10th. link

 

A few years ago Apple was also the most admired company when it comes to innovation, as shown here. Microsoft wasn't even listed in the top 10. Weird :censored2:

Sure Apple want you money just as much as Microsoft but Apple are more for the computer user than corporates, Microsoft don't really care for their non corporate customers. Apple come off alot more friendly to the average joe and their own customers, they seem to know whats cool and people like it, Microsoft just don't it's as simple as that.
