What's no.1 company in the world?
99196
No. 1 by what criteria? I would say that the largest is not the best. Actually, I would say the best company in the world be one that has a CEO with morals and strives to seek the truth instead of filling the world with BS and lies just to get the top and fill he/her pockets with cash.

Based on CNNMoney.com, they listed the following companies as the best companies to work for.\n\n1) Genentech\n2) Wegmans\n3) Valero Energy\n4) Griffin Hospital\n5) W.L. Gore\n6) Container Store\n7) Vision Service Plan\n8) J.M. Smucker\n9) REI\n10) S.C. Johnson & Son\n\nI'd start with those companies or narrow it down to companies on the top 100 list in places where I wouldn't mind living. All major companies look for business degrees leaving the door open to an extremely broad scope of opportunities. Find out what interests you most (Industrial, Finance, Software, etc.) and go from there. I have attached a link to the article I got those companies from. The Fortune 100 company I work for didn't make that list. :-(

IndianOil retains the #1 spot by sales in ET500 listing\n\nNew Delhi, February 9, 2006\nIndianOil, India's flagship oil company, has retained its numero uno position by sales in the latest corporate rankings released by the Economic Times. The ET500 report goes on to add, "IndianOil has been the largest Indian company by sales for as long as anyone can remember".\n\nApart from sales, the ET500 ranking lists companies based on market capitalization, net profit, price-earnings ratio and return on net worth, etc. In the above listings, IndianOil is also ranked No. 6 by both market capitalization and net profits respectively.\n\nThese rankings assume significance considering that India's downstream majors in the petroleum industry have been bearing both subsidy and undercovery burdens owing to a steep rise in global crude oil prices throughout the year 2005, thus affecting both net profit and market capitalization.\n\n\nRanked as India's most valuable brand\nIndianOil and SERVO selected Superbrands (2004-06)\nIndianOil topped the list of The Hindu Business Line's "India's Most Valuable Brands 2004" list (Catalyst, January 27th '05).\nThe report featured the top 500 largest listed companies by market value, that were listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.\nThe methodology followed values brands in a way that is similar to how analysts value assets.\nThese valuations have used 'relief from royalty' methodology - an intuitive approach that assumes that a company does not own its brand name, and then calculates how much it would have to pay to license it from a third party. The present value of the streams of royalty (hypothetical) represents the value of the brand.\n\nMost trusted petrol pump brand: ET Brand Equity Survey\nIndianOil has emerged as the most trusted petrol pump brand in the country in the prestigious Economic Times Brand Equity Survey of India’s Most Trusted Brands (ET, Dec. 15, ‘04).\nIndianOil leads the four oil-marketing companies in the new category of petrol pumps introduced in services for the first time this year.\nIndianOil is also the only petroleum company among the top 50 in the overall services brand with a ranking of 11, followed by its subsidiary, IBP Co. Ltd, at 51.\nIndianOil not only finds a place among the top 150 brands but as the country’s top petro-retailer, its score on the survey was almost twice that of its nearest competitor.\nSurvey is the largest of its kind in India, conducted by research agency AC Neilson ORG-Marg, the, with a sample of over 7,000 distributed across socio-economic class, age, income and geography.\n\nRanked fourth in TNS Corporate Reputation Study\nIn a recent TNS India poll on "Corporate Reputation Study" (Business Today, Dec. 19, 2004), IndianOil has been placed in the 4th position, ahead of several other business conglomerates.\nIndianOil is the only petroleum company to be featured in the top 25 listing, and with State Bank of India (21st position) being the only other PSU to make it to the listing.\nPoll primarily conducted amongst important stakeholders covering financial analysts and stockbrokers, business managers, and prospective employees, besides members of the general public.\nIndianOil has a score of 80 (out of 100), which indicates a very good corporate equity.\n\nAmong top ten 'Best Employers in India' for second year\nFor the second consecutive year, IndianOil retained its ranking as one of the top ten 'Best Employers in India' according to a recent study by Hewitt Associates.\nIndianOil, at the 9th position, was also the only oil company to be featured in the Top 10 listing.\nThis year, 272 companies with a workforce of 700,000 participated in the Hewitt survey, which makes it the highest participation in any geographical location. Data was collected from 75,000 employee responses from across 15 industry groups.\n\nNo.1 Company in business listings\nIndianOil has been ranked I

I'm sure the obvious answer is The Beatles. I mean, if you look at the sales, the impact as well as the frequency of them appearing in all those various Top Artists Ever lists (most often as number one), then it should be clear.
