The 2014 Top 3 companies deals with computers and internet. This just shows how the world has changed and that technology and innovation are very important attributes that people look at.

It just shows that profitability is a big factor to be on the list. To pick Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to work for, the company partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct an extensive employee survey in corporate America.

Comparing the list of 2014 Top 10 World’s Most Admired companies to the Top 10 Best Companies to work for, only one company made both list and that was Google. Google is well-known for the perks for working for the company. From free food to the gym membership that makes employees happy but when employees were asked why they love working for Google majority are proud to be a part of the innovative work that the company has to offer the public. It is strange that on the 100 Best Companies to work for that only one company made it from the 10 Most Admired Companies to work

We all know that a company that can build trust and bring about a rewarding atmosphere of personal appreciation and contribution will develop workplace norms and behaviors that bring outstanding performance from its personnel. Of the companies on our list the ones chose to research were CHG Healthcare, Wegmans Food Markets and Google.

The companies I chose are Bank of America and BMW. Bank of America was started in the year 1904 in the United States and has hundreds of thousand workers. The headquarters of BOA are located in Charlotte, North Carolina and it is made very clear if you ever travel through the city as there is a sign roughly every half mile.

They are number 13 out of all of the listed companies in the world, number 55 in sales, number 37 in profit, number 13 in assets and number 65 under the most valuable company category. I think they are highly prosperous due to the way they market themselves. The companies name by itself is a huge part of American culture.

As the case study states, SAS as perfected the art of employee management and I could not agree anymore. They’ve kept the ranking of ‘The World’s Best Place to Work’ for years. I took the liberty of researching if they are still at number one, as the book was published in 2013 as well as the article link professor provided. However, as at March 9, 2017, SAS was ranked number two, being overthrown by GOOGLE. A midst the defeat, they are still very close to another win and in their defeat there is also a victory as no other company has held that record for such a long period.
