Competitive Companies

Enlight of chapter 19 and reading about price and non price competition I decided to research most competivitive companies. I came across one website that listed 20 competitive compaines. One statement in the article that caught my eye was ,"Just being the biggest does not mean you are the best," said Dr. Margaret Johnson, director of Tech-Economy.org. (tech-economy is the company that research and ranked the companies) I thought that this was something to think about becuase you pften think that large companies and the ones doing th best and must make the most profit but sometimes the little companies get a strong following and can do even better than larger companies. It was interesting to see what all made it onto the top 20, it was a great varity of different types of companies, from computer and electronics, to food and beverage, retail, and banking, the list varied greatly but it was interesting to see that the top there were computer companies. The top 5 companies were, 1) Microsoft 2)Dell Inc. 3) Intel 4) Pfizer and 5) Cisco Systems. The complete list and article can be found at the following link.
