Dow Jones News
Half of the industrial-goods companies in the Management Top 250
scored in the top 20% for overall management effectiveness.
Two aerospace companies, Lockheed Martin Corp. and Boeing Co.,
ranked highest among 20 companies in the industrial-goods sector.
Both companies were lifted by their performance in the
financial-strength category of the ranking.
Lockheed Martin scored in the top 1% of the companies studied
for financial strength, while Boeing was in the top 2%. Financial
strength measures things like earnings and return on assets.
Financial strength is one of five ranking categories. They are
based on the ideals of the late business guru Peter Drucker, who
influenced generations of business leaders with his writings,
including a regular column in The Wall Street Journal.
In addition to financial strength, the Management Top 250
evaluates innovation, customer satisfaction, social responsibility,
and employee engagement and development. The ranking was developed
by the Drucker Institute and first published in December.
As a whole, the industrial-goods companies in the ranking scored
well on customer satisfaction. Just over half of the
industrial-goods companies had customer-satisfaction scores in the
top 15% of all companies studied by Drucker.
