Carnival posted the biggest gain in overall score from the previous year in the latest Management Top 250 ranking, followed by Nvidia and Cintas.
Carnival increased its score by 13.9 points to 59.3, placing the cruise operator 128th overall in the ranking of the most effectively managed companies in the U.S. Nvidia's scored climbed 11.6 points to 90.1, ranking second overall, and Cintas's score rose 9.9 points to 54, placing it 239th.
The Management Top 250 ranking compares companies using the late management guru Peter Drucker's principles. Companies are graded in five categories: customer satisfaction, innovation, social responsibility, employee engagement and development, and financial strength. The statistical model that produces the ranking was created by researchers at Claremont Graduate University's Drucker Institute. Bendable Labs, a private firm, works with Drucker to perform the calculations and interpret them.
Carnival achieved its highest score in employee engagement and development, where it ranks 71st among the Management Top 250. Nvidia's highest score is in financial strength, where it is No. 1 among the Top 250 companies; it also is second in employee engagement and development. Cintas reached its highest score in financial strength, where it ranks 65th.
You can explore the full, detailed rankings here. In the coming weeks we'll take a look at the leaders in each of the five components of the overall ranking and the companies whose component scores improved the most from the previous year.
