The American magazine Forbes has once again conducted a study in the field of innovative development of the world's leading companies. The work resulted in list of 100 most innovative companies in the world.
The methodology is based on an assessment of the investment attractiveness of a company based on the difference between its market capitalization and net present value. This difference is a bonus that investors provide in the hope that the company will continue to grow.
The 2017 ranking includes 2 companies from Russia: Magnit (53rd) and Norilsk Nickel (63rd). Salesforce.com from the USA was recognized as the most innovative company in the world, despite the fact that the British Ihs Markit showed the maximum annual profit growth (145.61%).
