Several of the biggest names in the technology industry scored
highest for innovation in the latest Management Top 250 ranking,
with Amazon.com Inc. leading the pack, followed by International
Business Machines Corp., Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc., in that
order.
Those four companies also have the highest overall scores in the
annual Management Top 250 ranking, developed by the Drucker
Institute, which measures corporate effectiveness by examining
performance in five categories: customer satisfaction, employee
engagement and development, innovation, social responsibility and
financial strength.
Microsoft, ranked No. 1 overall, also made the top 10 for
employee engagement and development and had the highest scores for
social responsibility and financial strength among the more than
800 companies studied by Drucker.
IBM, No. 3 overall, also had the highest score for customer
satisfaction. Apple, No. 2 overall, and Amazon, No. 4 overall, also
made the top 10 for financial strength.
Two other companies in the top 10 for innovation also made other
top 10 lists -- Facebook Inc. and Alphabet Inc., both for financial
strength and employee engagement and development. Alphabet is
ranked No. 5 overall and Facebook No. 12.
Microsoft and Apple also are among eight all-stars in the latest
ranking -- companies that excelled in all five categories.
You can explore the full, detailed rankings here. In the coming
weeks we'll take a look at the leaders in social responsibility and
financial strength.
