The top 4 were: 1.) Jack Walsh 2.) Bill Gates 3.) Lou Gerstner 4.) John Chambers Methodology: >> Peers Spell Out Their Preferences specials.ft.com As in the previous two years of this global survey, the views of chief executives from all around the world have been sought. Some 4,000 business leaders were approached in more than 70 countries, with a total of 720 respondents taking part in the survey. <snip > The central premise of the survey is unchanged, which is to identify those companies and business leaders most respected by their peers and the reasons for those choices. For the first time, however, this survey also asked chief executives to look at which companies they think will be most respected in the future, and to focus specifically on the issue of social responsibility. First, chief executives were asked to nominate which three companies in the world they most respected, and why. They were then asked to select three companies that they most respected in their industry sector in the world, and to state why. Then, for the first time, they were asked to nominate the three companies they thought would be most respected in five years' time, again explaining why. Next, the chief executives were asked to identify which three business leaders they most respected and why. Finally, they were asked about social responsibility: how important did they think it was, and which three companies did they feel were the most socially responsible. The fieldwork was undertaken between June and October 2000, principally by telephone interview but in some cases by written questionnaire or face-to-face interviews. << - Eric -
