Apple has the highest score for innovation among the latest Management Top 250 companies, with Microsoft second and Walmart third.
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.
Apple is the highest-ranked company overall, and also is second in financial strength. Microsoft is third overall and also is among the leaders in financial strength, at No. 3, and social responsibility, at No. 9. Walmart is 21st overall and seventh in financial strength.
You can explore the full, detailed rankings here, the top companies for customer satisfaction here and the leaders for employee engagement and development here. Highlights featured in the coming weeks will include the leaders in each of the remaining components and the companies whose scores for innovation improved the most from the previous year.
