Published Sources of Strategy-Evaluation Information CHAPTER 9 • STRATEGY REVIEW, EVALUATION, AND CONTROL 297 A number of publications are helpful in evaluating a firm’s strategies. For example, Fortune annually identifies and evaluates the Fortune 1,000 (the largest manufacturers) and the Fortune 50 (the largest retailers, transportation companies, utilities, banks, insurance companies, and diversified financial corporations in the United States). Fortune ranks the best and worst performers on various factors, such as return on investment, sales volume, and profitability. In its March issue each year, Fortune publishes its strategy-evaluation research in an article entitled “America’s Most Admired Companies.” Eight key attributes serve as evaluative criteria: people <strong>management</strong>; innovativeness; quality of products or services; financial soundness; social responsibility; use of corporate assets; long-term investment; and quality of <strong>management</strong>. In October of each year, Fortune publishes additional strategy-evaluation research in an article entitled “The World’s Most Admired Companies.” Fortune’s 2009 evaluation in Table 9-7 reveals the firms most admired (best managed) in their industry. The most admired company in the world in 2009 was Nike, followed by Anheuser-Busch, Nestle, and Procter & Gamble. 9 Another excellent evaluation of corporations in America, “The Annual Report on American Industry,” is published annually in the January issue of Forbes. It provides a detailed and comprehensive evaluation of hundreds of U.S. companies in many different industries. BusinessWeek, Industry Week, and Dun’s Business Month also periodically publish detailed evaluations of U.S. businesses and industries. Although published sources of strategy-evaluation information focus primarily on large, publicly held businesses, the comparative ratios and related information are widely used to evaluate small businesses and privately owned firms as well.
