Fortune published its annual list of the world’s most admired companies. Apple is at the top of the list again. Accordingly, Apple has been the most admired company for 17 years. However, Apple still lost blood in the list. But which companies are in the top ten of the list?
Here are the top ten most admired companies in the world
As it does every year, Fortune partnered with Korn Ferry for this year’s survey. Korn Ferry is a consulting firm with important functions such as executive search, placement and consulting. To select the top 50 companies, the company asked 3720 senior executives to rate their favorite companies in various categories such as investment value, management quality and social responsibility.
The most admired company in the world was Apple. Accordingly, the company has been at the top of this list for 17 years. However, Apple, which scored 8.65 points out of 10 last year, has an average score of 8.16 this year.
In second place is Microsoft, which follows Apple everywhere and sometimes surpasses it. Amazon was second last year and lost its place to Microsoft this year. In the list where Amazon ranks third, Berkshire Hathaway, where famous investor Warren Buffet is CEO, ranks fourth.
JPMorgan Chase, the world’s largest bank, took its place in the list. In sixth place is the Costco retail market chain. Google, Alphabet, could only be seventh in this list. Nvidia, on the other hand, managed to enter the top ten for the first time thanks to its artificial intelligence processors breakthrough.
As you know, Fortune also prepares lists of the 500 most valuable companies both in Turkey and in the world. However, the Fortune World’s Most Admired Company survey focuses on some values independent of the financial power of companies.
In this sense, Fortune scores companies based on qualities such as innovation, quality of management, social responsibility, use of corporate assets, financial soundness, quality of products and services, and global competitiveness. The scoring is divided into categories consisting of all these values. Apple managed to top the list in every category.
