Most Admired Company Survey Methodology

In compiling the Most Admired list, FORTUNE survey partner Korn Ferry Hay Group surveyed 680 companies from 28 countries asking executives, directors and analysts to rate companies within their own industry on nine reputation drivers considered to be crucial to a company’s global success. These drivers include financial soundness, long-term investment value, people management, social responsibility, use of assets, quality of management, quality of products/services, innovation and global competitiveness. A company’s score must rank in the top half of its industry survey to be listed.
