The journey to compile this distinguished list begins with an extensive pool of candidates, initially featuring around 1,500 companies. This includes the largest 1,000 U.S. companies by revenue and international firms with revenues surpassing $10 billion.
From this comprehensive list, the companies are filtered down to encapsulate only the highest-revenue entities within each industry, resulting in a competitive roster of 650 organizations across 30 countries. Ultimately, the companies that emerge as top-rated are determined through a voting process that encompasses executives from the eligible companies, ensuring that the selection holds significant credibility.
Korn Ferry's evaluation encompasses nine critical attributes which include investment value, management quality, product excellence, social responsibility, and the ability to attract talent— all essential focus areas for BorgWarner. In order to qualify for the final rankings, a company's score must reside in the top half of its industry survey.
