Economic crises, military conflicts, political instability and other negative factors do not have a significant impact on them. The world's most successful companies are the backbone of the global economy, with some of their profits equaling the GDP of small developing countries.

Ideal marketing, financial foresight, non-standard management techniques - which recipe helps them take leading positions in all existing ratings year after year - is the biggest secret of big business. They are the best, time, money and millions of first-class specialists work for them.

The success of a company is assessed by three indicators:

1. profit;
2. asset value;
3. capitalization size.

For young, fast-growing companies, experts have introduced an indicator that evaluates how much their assets have increased since their founding.

The figures appearing in the annual reports of the world's largest corporations produce a stunning impression. To paraphrase a famous expression, we can say: “Corporations rule the world.” The world's most successful companies feel comfortable at the top of the financial Olympus, rarely and reluctantly allowing ambitious newcomers onto the pedestal.

1. Drive your dreams. Toyota

The assets of the automobile giant Toyota are estimated at $406 billion. It is the largest automaker in world. The company began operating in 1924 with the sale of weaving machines and over almost a century of history has become a global auto giant. In addition to the production and sales of cars, the company conducts business in several directions. Toyota Motors Corporation owns a financial structure, an insurance company, and carries out real estate transactions. The success of the Toyota brand was brought by 14 commandments of doing business, which, with truly Japanese scrupulousness, reflected all areas of life of a large corporation. “Make decisions slowly, look at everything with your own eyes, educate your leaders” - truisms work great, especially if they are written down in the “production system of the corporation” and are mandatory for everyone - from workers to directors. Over the three quarters of 2016, more than 8 million cars were sold – this is an absolute world record.

2. Black gold. ExxonMobil

Oil is not called black gold for nothing. One of the most valuable companies in the world ExxonMobil is a giant oil refining industry. The company has assets worth $395.4 billion, and net profit in the first half of 2016 amounted to $16 billion. The history of ExxonMobil began in the century before last, when Standard Oil, owned by the Rockefeller family, was divided into several companies. As a result of many transformations, divisions and mergers, the public company ExxonMobil appeared in 1999, which today owns shares of oil refineries in 45 countries, a network of gas stations in 100 countries and is engaged in oil production around the world. ExxonMobil's performance is the best illustration of its long-term success. Throughout its existence, the corporation has not had a single unprofitable period.

3. Investments and insurance. Berkshire Hathaway

Warren Buffett and his Berkshire Hathaway with a capitalization of $360 billion are the most successful investment holding in the world. The main activity is investment and management. Warren Buffett, the permanent chairman of the board of directors, began building his empire by organizing a small insurance company. By investing his profits in stock purchases, Buffett began to earn enough to buy entire companies. Berkshire Hathaway now owns businesses in many different industries—retail, railroads, food, appliances, publishing, and, of course, all types of insurance. The subsidiary media holding BH Media Group includes seventy newspapers and one TV channel.

4. IT geniuses. Microsoft

Microsoft is almost 100 billion behind the leader, its assets are valued at $303.5 billion. Since last year The company's profit increased by 10%. The corporation practically monopolized the market for office programs and software. In addition, Microsoft produces computer accessories and its own tablet computer model. Microsoft products are sold in almost a hundred countries around the world, and their office suite is the most used on the market. The closest competitors remain far behind from year to year. APPLE is an exception, but its profits are driven by successful sales of iPhones and electronics. Microsoft's recent successes are attributed to a change in leadership. New CEO Satya Nadella is a proponent of a tough business style and an aggressive marketing policy.

5. China is always in the lead. Industrial & Commercial Bank Of China

No economic rating is complete without representatives of the fastest growing economy in the world. The Chinese Industrial & Commercial Bank Of China has a capitalization of $275 billion. This is one of the youngest financial leaders - the bank began operating in 1984. The Chinese government owns 50% of the shares. In 2006, the Bank carried out the most successful placement of shares in history - then a record $22 billion was raised for the global economy. The financial business remains one of the most profitable. The most successful of the product manufacturers, APPLE, occupies only the 7th position in the ranking of the most successful companies in the world.

6. Universal sales. WalMart

Retailer Wal-Mart, which owns the WalMart supermarket chain, has assets worth $200 billion. The company owns more than 10 thousand stores around the world, the number of employees is 2.5 million people. Retail trade is one of the most difficult types of business. Wal-Mart succeeds because of its tough business practices and cost-minimizing strategies. Many suppliers to WalMart stores testify that the company is forcing them to reduce selling prices, and representatives of small businesses are unhappy that the huge chain monopolizes the retail market in many countries. In addition, Wal-Mart has become famous for violating workers' rights and constant conflicts with unions. Since 2000, the company began a period of instability, during which two large projects were closed - in South Korea and Germany. In the first case, the department store format did not appeal to Korean consumers, and sales in Germany resulted in annual losses of $100 million.

7. Apple records. APPLE

The record holder for increasing profits among technology companies – APPLE is valued at $154.1 billion. 2015 alone brought APPLE owners $53.1 billion in net profit. During its existence, the brainchild of Steve Jobs increased its value by 50,000%. The corporation managed to do the impossible - turn the use of smartphones and computer equipment into a real cult of worship of products with the Apple logo. It's not just about its own software and high quality, APPLE has created an ideal marketing model, the cornerstone of which is the prestige and impeccable image of the company. “If you own APPLE, you own the best” - this idea continues to bring billions in profits for APPLE.

8. Internet business. Google

Another representative of high technology, Google, ranks second eighth in the ranking. richest corporations in the world. Google is valued at $82.5 billion. Last year was not the best for the company, but even though profit growth was less than predicted, the increase reached 16%. Google receives more than a billion search requests every day, and the company operates more than a million servers. In addition to the search engine itself, the Google brand owns an email service, a social network, a browser, an image processing program and several sites that are in the top 100 by traffic. Every year Google introduces new applications to users, improves and updates existing ones.

9. Timeless classic. Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola lost ground somewhat. The most popular soda in the world began to lose its leadership position retail sales of soft drinks in 2010. Since then, the company's profits have been gradually declining. Some analysts attribute this to the fashion for proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Others see a connection between falling sales and the merger of The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Enterprises. Despite the disappointing statistics, especially the disastrous one in 2014, the company is valued at $58 billion. A decline in sales does not always mean unprofitability, which is why the Coca-Cola brand is traditionally included in world rankings of the most successful companies.

10. Business on communication. Facebook

The Facebook brand is valued at $52.6 billion. It is the most popular social network in the world. Every year the company increases profits and, accordingly, the value of assets. Last year alone the growth was more than 50%. Facebook shows excellent results, but this is not surprising - almost 1 billion people use the network every day. In 2011, a fantastic figure was achieved - in one month the number of network visitors exceeded 1 trillion. In August 2015, the billionth personal page on Facebook was registered. We can say that today Internet communication is one of the most popular goods on the world market.

The main assessment is consumer confidence

Another interesting indicator by which the success of a company is assessed is the trust index. This criterion was introduced by the American consulting firm Reputation Insitute. The index shows the ratio of customer trust to the company's reputation. All enterprises included in the top ten are large transnational holdings, most of which are based in the USA.

Top 10 companies with the highest consumer confidence index:

1. automobile concern BMW;
2. the largest representative of the entertainment industry, The Walt Disney Company;
3. watch brand Rolex;
4. transnational corporation of Internet resources Google;
5. the Daimler concern, which owns the MERCEDES brand;
6. one of the market leaders in electronics and household appliances Sony
7. software manufacturer Microsoft;
8. Cannon company – manufacturer of optical, printing and television equipment;
9. food concern Nestle;
10. Apple is a manufacturer of original smartphones, personal and tablet computers, and software.

There are several ratings ranking the world's largest businesses. Each of them evaluates profitability, assets, sales growth and other objective economic factors. If you look closely at any TOP of the best, you will notice the most successful types of businesses. Oil refining, Internet technologies, software development, automotive manufacturing and retail are the areas in which the largest resources are deployed and the most high-profile fortunes are created. Most of these companies began to build their business empires at the beginning of the last century. The 21st century is the time of IT technologies and electronics. It is in these areas that newcomers have the highest chances of making it to the top of big business.

2016.11.29 by

When the Democratic National Committee decided to turn its disdain for Bernie Sanders into disdain for the Russians and Donald Trump, the New York billionaire was rumored to regularly bed Russian oligarchs and dream of making deals with Moscow. But since when did wanting to do business with Russians become a bad thing?

Today, the rules of political correctness require hating Russia. If you like her even a little, it means you support Vladimir Putin or are impressed by the Russian mafia. And you probably hate polar bears or something.

But if doing business with Russians, or even wanting to do it, is very bad, then maybe these companies need to reel in the bait and run before the righteous threaten them with a boycott and discredit their names in the press?

That's who does business with the bad guys.

On July 13, Pfizer entered into an agreement to create a joint venture with the Russian pharmaceutical company NovaMedica.

Good weather in the Russian economy

JB Press 08/04/2016

Putin is an enemy of his economy

Bloomberg 07/27/2016
Boeing has been operating in Russia for decades. About five years ago, the company announced plans to invest $27 billion in Russia over the next 30 years. In July 2015, an agreement on joint R&D projects (Research and Development) was signed between the Russian titanium manufacturer VSMPO-Avisma, Boeing and the Ural Federal University.

Ford has been operating in Russia for 13 years. In April 2015, the Russian-American joint venture Ford Sollers began production of the Ford Transit. Last year, this American company launched production of four new cars in Russia, including the Focus and Fiesta models sold on the Russian market.

Among the American companies operating in Russia are PepsiCo, Procter&Gamble, McDonald's, Mondelez International, General Motors, Johnson & Johnson, Cargill, Alcoa, and General Electric. The latter recently signed an agreement to establish a joint venture with the oil company Rosneft in anticipation that Washington will one day lift sanctions on oil firms.

According to Knight Frank, the main American investor in Russian real estate is not Trump International, but Morgan Stanley. In April, a fund controlled by Morgan Stanley began negotiations to acquire several shopping centers in Moscow. That same month, her real estate investment fund purchased the Metropolis office building in Moscow from Kazakh developer Capital Partners for $1.2 billion.

American retailers also continue to develop their commercial ties with Russia. Over the past two years, many new American brands have entered the Russian market, including Forever 21 and Crate & Barrel in 2014.

American food companies are also expanding their business, although Russia is actively annexing Ukrainian territories and arming rebels in the Donbass, for which sanctions were imposed against it in 2014. Last year, Starbucks opened its 100th location in Russia. In 2013, Krispy Kreme opened its first bakery. Now there are five of them.

As the New York Times wrote in April 2015, even the Clinton Foundation was very fond of Russians back in 2013. From 2009 to 2013, the Russian state company Rosatom acquired Canadian Uranium One in three stages under separate contracts. According to information from Canada, this was done on the recommendation of Hillary Clinton. And then a donation of $2.35 million came to the foundation of Hillary and her husband, former US President Bill Clinton.

In other words, Russians can't be that bad.

Of course, not everyone wants to work in Russia. Yes, everyone is not needed there. Billionaire Carlyle Group CEO David Rubenstein told Bloomberg TV in October that it was too risky to work there. And then he bowed out and closed his business in Russia.

In September 2014, the American investment firm Blackstone left Russia, doing so two months before the ruble fell in value by half - from 35 to 75 rubles per dollar.

Now ask New York real estate dealers if they would turn their backs on a Russian buyer because, you know, he's from a country run by oligarchs and - ah! — Putin, or Putler, as some call him.

The most expensive New York apartment sold in 2014 for $100.5 million. It was bought by a man whose name is not mentioned. This is a penthouse in a 90-story building in Midtown on 57th Street. Many apartments there are owned by wealthy Russians. Another high-profile deal took place in 2011, when a Russian buyer purchased a penthouse for $88 million in a building near Central Park.

London is called Londontown - and for good reason. The most expensive real estate there is bought mainly by Russians. Now ask London developers whether it is good or bad to sell housing to Russians.

Trump claims he has no business in Russia. However, Morgan Stanley, which, according to the Open Secrets website, gave $148,660 to Hillary's campaign in 2008, could have told Donald: "It's a waste."
