2021年《财富》全球最受赞赏公司行业榜
庞大的规模可以创造良性循环，而这个良性循环反过来又会影响企业在《财富》杂志的全球最受赞赏的公司排行榜上的表现。该榜单的评分系统对于在管理的多个方面表现均很出色的公司更为有利（制榜方法见后）。公司的规模越大，其同行和竞争对手就越有可能去积极地了解关于该公司成功的方法以及原因的信息，同时也会格外重视这些信息。
这一现象或许有助于解释苹果公司能够常年位居榜首的原因。苹果不仅是全球最大的企业之一——其2020财年的营收达2,750亿美元，也是最受科技界和商业媒体密切关注的企业之一。我们请受调查者根据9项标准给各个企业打分。今年，苹果在其中8项指标上的得分都进入了前十名，在“产品质量”和“财务状况稳健”这两项指标上的得分最高。
大型零售商塔吉特同样颇受同行赞赏，也有8项指标的得分名列前茅。一年来，塔吉特雇佣了数万名员工，大幅扩大了路边取货和网上购物等服务的规模。受访者在“管理质量”和“合理使用企业资产”这两项上给了塔吉特最高的评分。与此同时，电子商务和云计算巨头亚马逊有6项指标的得分进入了前十名，在“创新力”和“长期投资价值”两方面的排名最高。（对亚马逊来说，在“长期投资价值”方面排名最高其实是一种比较含蓄的说法。10年前对亚马逊价值10万美元的投资，在今天的价值超过了160万美元。）
除了总体的50家“全球最受赞赏的公司全明星榜”以外，《财富》杂志全球最受赞赏的公司调查还追踪了52个行业类别——其中几家公司的连胜纪录相比苹果公司来说并不逊色，甚至更胜一筹。例如，伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司已经连续23年蝉联财产和意外伤害保险行业榜首。华特迪士尼也已经连续18年位居第一大娱乐公司。在这一年中，强生公司将企业的重要资源投入到了新冠肺炎疫苗的研发工作中，同时也第8次在制药行业榜单上名列第一位。（伯克希尔-哈撒韦、强生与微软、可口可乐和丰田汽车共同组成了一个精英企业类别：自1998年以来，这几家企业每年都会出现在我们的“全明星”榜单上。）
不过，连续性虽然很普遍，但并未形成一种规则。部分行业的榜单上也出现了新的企业，比如采矿和原油生产（纽蒙特矿业胜出）、卡车运输和物流（来自丹麦的马士基公司排名最高）、包装和容器（国际纸业公司）以及金融数据服务（标准普尔全球）等。今年，百事公司在消费食品行业排名第一位，结束了雀巢长达15年的统治。这也让百事公司因为其种族和社会正义问题立场以及其全球品牌组合而备受关注的一年划上了句号。
而在人寿和健康保险行业，纽约人寿第一次登上了榜首。2020年，这家拥有175年历史的公司通过收购信诺公司的几个业务部门，巩固了其作为美国最大的互惠型人寿保险公司的地位。这也是该公司历史上规模最大的一次收购。从中得到的启示：有时，企业声誉可以随着业务规模的扩大而得到提升。
