Apple has secured the top spot as most admired company for 17 years running
Determining the most admired company began with a list of 1,500 companies, including the 1,000 largest companies in the U.S. and 500 non-U.S. companies with revenues of at least $10 billion. The list was narrowed down to 660 after Fortune focused on the highest-revenue companies in each industry.
Then, more than 3,700 executives, directors, and analysts were polled, rating each company in categories such as investment value, quality of management, and social responsibility.
