Google: Not American’s Most Admired Company (But Almost)
FORTUNE magazine released its America’s Most Admired Companies of 2008 list, and guess what? Google was not rated number one. Hard to believe? Well, they did make number four. Apple took the top position, which doesn’t surprise me since everyone I know is buying Macs, even oureditor-in-chief, Danny.
Google ranked at number four while Microsoft ranked at sixteen. Yahoo did not make the list.
Here are the top 20:
- Apple
- Berkshire Hathaway
- General Electric
- Toyota Motor
- Starbucks
- FedEx
- Procter & Gamble
- Johnson & Johnson
- Goldman Sachs Group
- Target
- Southwest Airlines
- American Express
- BMW
- Costco Wholesale
- Microsoft
- United Parcel Service
- Cisco Systems
- 3M
