>>What does this suggest about the value of such a survey?

Just shows that a company can really screw up badly during the course of a year - any LT investor in BAY should know that! That said, a single anomaly does not invalidate the survey in any way. Anyone who contends that it is worthless is a bigger dolt than is universally recognized.

I do wish they had included more companies. There's no reason why BAY should rank as highly as it does- although ASND might just give it a run for the bottom position, if anyone cared.

>>>I notice from the same survey that Columbia/HCA went from No. 1 in its category to No. 10 in just one year. What does this suggest about the value of such a survey?<<<

Highly subjective -- less than worthless. But BAY should probably be jockeying for elbow room alongside Gandalf.
