Goliath Names Top Companies of 2007
Apple, Microsoft and Toyota among top 10 companies during the past year, as ranked by popular business information website, Goliath.
Farmington Hills, MI (PRWEB) November 16, 2007
Goliath, one of the web's premier business intelligence and research sites, is releasing its annual list of the Top 10 Companies in 2007 (http://goliath. ecnext. com/coms2/page_company_news? referid=8311). With its wealth of current and high-quality business-focused content - including company profiles, business news, industry and market reports - Goliath is well-positioned to make this selection by utilizing its large resource of authoritative company data.
Doug Cohol, Goliath's Director of Product Management, explains, "2007 was an exciting year in business, with a significant number of mergers & acquisitions and important product launches. With its broad and in-depth coverage of company and industry news, Goliath can help our users keep on top of the companies that are making headlines this year."
In their selection of the companies to highlight on this list, the Goliath editorial team used a variety of selection criteria, such as the volume of news generated about the company, new product announcements, significant acquisitions, and key executive hirings. Apple, for example, changed the landscape of mobile phones when it introduced its revolutionary device, the iPhone. Similarly, Nintendo surprised many analysts by continuing to take market share in the console market, recently surpassing the Xbox 360 in cumulative sales.
Cohol added: "We believe that these 10 companies are responsible for much of 2007's commerce, trade and industry trends; our choice to feature them reflects the impact each has had on this year's dynamic business landscape."
