“Most Innovative” - Apple tops BusinessWeek’s List
Comments(0)BusinessWeek today released its list of “The 25 Most Innovative Companies” in the world, with 
Apple, Google, and Toyota taking the top three spots, respectively. The publication states the list is based on companies who nurture cultures that value creative people in good economic times and bad, as well as those that develop a diversified stock portfolio, and display independent though for corporate strategy, despite “finger-wagging” from analysts.
The Boston Consulting Group compiled these results from recommendations by executives who were asked to identify the most pioneering companies in the last year. BCG weighted the results financially as well, with 80-percent coming from the survey, 10-percent from stock returns, with margin growth and three-year revenue each at 5-percent.
Rounding out the top 10 are General Electric, Microsoft, Tata Group, Nintendo, Procter & Gamble, Sony, and Nokia.

Google has just released an updated version of its Google Earth desktop software that claims to offer a higher quality, more immersive experience.

Street View in Google Maps is also included, while a Sunlight feature allows users to set the sun’s location relative to the earth. How is your new Google Earth experience so far?
