The magazine Forbes has named the 100 most innovative companies in 2015. The only Swedish contribution surprises.
For the fifth time, Forbes magazine lists the world’s most innovative company. The ranking is based on valuations made by financial investors. “The list includes companies that investors believe have the best chance of coming up with the next big innovation,” the paper said.
For the first time, topped the list of Tesla. Among the top ten are only two non-US-based companies: British semiconductor company ARM and Unilever Indonesia.
Among the 100 most innovative companies are Only a Swedish company. Sandvik and Atlas Copco has been in the past. But not this time. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, the clothing chain H & amp; M who entered on a 86th place. Thus not Tobii, or any other of the small developing companies with advanced technology, which has a low market capitalization to rangeb (see below).
Among the most innovative companies are not Apple or Google, however, Netflix (27), Starbucks (45) and Coca Cola (81).
The explanation perhaps slightly odd selection depends on the” formula “for the rankings, which Forbes calls the Innovation Premium. It is calculated as the difference between a company’s market capitalization (minus liabilities) and valuation of future income (cash flows) from existing operations.
To get on the list, the company must also be able to present the seven years of official data and have at least $ 10 billion in market capitalization. On the list are also only companies investing in research and development, so banks are excluded. Neither the energy and mining companies are included, whose market capitalization is more linked to commodity prices than innovation, the paper said.
Previously, Sandvik and Atlas Copco been on the Forbes list, but then did not this time.
