Apple is “Most Innovative” According to Business Week

According to BusinessWeek and the Boston Consulting Group, Apple is on the top of the heap when it comes to innovation. “The publication states the list is based on companies who nurture cultures that value creative people in good economic times and bad, as well as those that develop a diversified stock portfolio, and display independent though for corporate strategy, despite “finger-wagging” from analysts.” says a MacNN report. The statistics were compiled by the Boston Consulting Group, and the ratings were based on the opinions of hundreds of Business Executives. Although the results were based almost entirely on the survey, 20% of the results were calculated based on the company’s stock return, margin of growth, and their three-year revenue. In second and third place, respectively, were Google and Toyota, with General Electric, Microsoft, Tata Group, Nintendo, Procter & Gamble, Sony, and Nokia accounting for the rest of the top 10. This is the fourth year in a row that Apple has received this honor. Also of note, Apple came in second and fourth place in the Entertainment and Retail categories, respectively.
