4.3 Fortune 500 companies (财富500强)
For 45 years, Fortune magazine has been ranking the largest companies in the United States. The result is their annual “Fortune 500” list. Sometimes people will refer to the top 100 companies on the list as the “Fortune 100”.Essentially, the magazine lists the U.S. based corporations with the largest revenue in the past year. Fortune calculates revenue using publicly available data, therefore private companies, i.e., those whose stock is not traded on a public market, are excluded. U.S. subsidiaries of foreign companies are also excluded.
“Fortune 500” companies are among the biggest, most profitable, and most powerful companies in America. In terms of profits even the bottom end of the Fortune 500 list isn’t too shabby. On last year’s list, the company at the bottom still had a respectable sum of over $3 billion.
While the “Fortune 500” is limited to American companies, the magazine also publishes the “Global 500”, which ranks publicly held companies from around the world. Of course, because the U.S. dominates as much of the global economy, many Fortune 500 companies rank high in the “Global 500” too.
Fortune magazine also publishes other lists, such as the “100 Best Companies to work for” and the “100 Fastest-Growing Companies”. It’s an interesting exercise to compare all the lists and see where companies overlap. For example, the No. 1 company to work for may not rank on the “Fortune 500” at all. With the top companies on both the U.S. and worldwide 500 lists, you won’t find them on either of the most admired companies list. Maybe the Beatles were right – money can’t buy you love.
45年来,《财富》杂志一直给美国的大公司排名,这就是一年一度的“财富500强”,有时也将前100名称为“财富100强”。 上榜的上市公司基本上都是头年收入名列前茅的美国本土公司。《财富》杂志根据上市公司的公开数据来计算收入,未上市公司没有列入,因为他们的股票没有公开发行。国外公司在美的分公司也不参与排名。
“财富500强”公司是美国规模最大、利润最多、实力最强的公司。讲到收入,即使500强排最后一名的公司也财大气粗,如去年排名最末的公司收入也超过30亿美元。
除了介绍美国公司的“财富500强”,《财富》杂志还推出了“全球500强”,给各国的上市公司排名。当然,由于美国经济在全球经济中的地位,许多“财富500强”的美国公司也高居“全球500强”的榜首。
《财富》杂志也推出其他排名,如“100家受雇条件
