Methodology
Fortune collaborated with their
partner Korn Ferry Hay Group on this survey of corporate
reputations. They began with a universe of about 1,500 candidates:
the 1,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by revenue, along with
non-U.S. companies in Fortune's Global 500 database that have
revenues of $10 billion or more. They
then winnowed the assortment to the highest- revenue companies in
each industry, a total of 680 in 28 countries. The top-rated
companies were picked from that pool of 680; the executives who
voted work at the companies in that group.
To determine the best-regarded companies in 51 industries, Korn
Ferry Hay Group asked executives, directors, and analysts to rate
enterprises in their own industry on nine criteria, from investment
value and quality of management and products to social
responsibility and ability to attract talent. A company's score
must rank in the top half of its industry survey to be listed.
