most admired companies in the world
Fortune's World's Most-Admired Company's List is a list that embodies precisely that idea.. This isn't a popularity contest or a thrown-off quick vote. It's a fairly in-depth look at the companies most-admired by business leaders.
The most admired tech companies are Apple, Google Amazon, in that order (Microsoft is at number 5, CISCO is at number 10). There is no room for a non-US company.
