Most Admired Companies of 2011 By TheBard [37 more lists]
A list of the most admired companies of 2011. Normally these annual lists are routine, but this one is different. As most know, stress tests separate the men from the boys, and being 2011, this list exhibits how these companies have faired in the hearts and minds of the business world as it finally begins to climb from the present economic turmoil. No surprise to see Apple at the top of the list. The big surprise is Goldman Sachs who seem to have weathered their bad press with aplomb. It will be interesting to see how these companies fair moving forward.
