As in previous years, The Wall Street Journal published the current list of the best (best run) companies in the United States. The leading company maintained its position for the third year in a row, while the parent company of Facebook declined significantly.

The The Wall Street Journal’s Top 250 Management Companies List (created with the help of Claremont Graduate University’s Drucker Institute) compares the largest publicly traded companies in the US (more than 900 this year) in five categories called competency scores. They consider customer satisfaction, employee engagement and development, innovation, social responsibility and financial strength.

While technology companies made the top five last year, this year the sector gave only three leaders. Regardless, notes the director of the institute that created the survey, technology companies still dominate the top of the list.

Microsoft ranked first for the third year in a row, followed by Apple and IBM. General Motors and Whirlpool came in fourth and fifth. We have to look out for Google, or more precisely, Alphabet, in 24th place, and AMD and Qualcomm right behind them – sharing 25th place. The big let down for the year is Meta (Facebook’s parent company), whose performance has reached 130th place only this time around. (instead of last year’s 31st place). Slowing revenue growth and a lower customer satisfaction score (32.5 points out of a possible 100 points) played a major role in this decline. Two more tech companies entered the top 10, Intel (7th) and Amazon (8th).

Returning to Microsoft’s flagship, Redmond ranked in the top 10 in four of the five component categories, with the exception of customer satisfaction, which ranked 519th. In 2020, the company that won the highest innovation took first place overall from Amazon and has held that position ever since. now. Microsoft has benefited greatly in recent years from its cloud focus, Azure business, since CEO Satya Nadella took over in 2014.

Nearly three years into the pandemic, Microsoft’s cloud-based business continues to pay dividends despite today’s high inflation, soaring interest rates and a bleak economic outlook, the company said in its latest financial report. Although the growth rate of the cloud business is lower than it was at the height of the pandemic, in the most recent quarter, when other parts of Microsoft’s business posted revenue declines, the company’s revenue from cloud computing services increased by 35 percent.

And another interesting thing: Elon Musk’s companies. Tesla, behind PayPal, ranks 76th this year, and Space X isn’t listed, so it’s not on the list. Twitter didn’t make the top 250 list this year, but the ranking was done before Musk bought Twitter.
