A S WE H AV E IN T HE PA S T,Fortunecollaborated
with our partner Korn Ferry on this survey of
corporate reputation. We 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 inFortune’s Global 500 database
that have revenues of $10 billion or more. We then
winnowed the assortment to the highest-revenue
companies in each industry, a total of 680 in 30
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 52 industries, Korn Ferry 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.
Results were not published in the following
categories owing to insufficient response rates:
cable and satellite providers, petroleum refining,
pipelines, and U.S. energy.
To select our 50 All-Stars, Korn Ferry asked
3,750 executives, directors, and securities
analysts who had responded to the industry
surveys to select the 10 companies they admired
most. They chose from a list made up of the
companies that ranked in the top 25% in last
year’s surveys, plus those that finished in the top
20% of their industry. Anyone could vote for any
company in any industry.
The difference in the voting rolls explains
why some results can seem at odds with each
other. For example, AT&T fell off the All-Stars
lis t t his y ear bu t r ank ed No. 1 w i t hin t he
telecommunications category when votes from
only those in that industry were counted.
