Vratislav Holub The popular American magazine Fortune has once again made itself known with its list of the world's most admired companies. It probably won't surprise anyone that technology giants literally rule the world, which is why we find them not only here, but also in the rankings of the most valuable and profitable companies in the world. For the third year in a row, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft took the first three positions. They have prospered for a long time and constantly bring various innovations, which is why they have earned the admiration of several experts.

Adam Kos Of course, it is also important to mention how the creation of such a list takes place. For example, with the mentioned list of the most valuable companies in the world, it is quite simple, when you only need to take into account the so-called market capitalization (number of issued shares * value of one share). In this case, however, the rating is decided by a vote in which approximately 3700 workers in leading positions in large corporations, directors and leading analysts participate. On this year's list, in addition to the success of the technology giants, we can see two interesting players who have risen to the top due to recent events.

Apple still a trendsetter
The Cupertino giant has faced considerable criticism in recent years, including from its own users. There is nothing to be surprised about. Apple implements some functions significantly later than the competition and generally bets on safety rather than taking a risk with something new. Although this is a tradition among fans and users of competing brands, it is necessary to think about whether it is true at all. In our opinion, the transition experienced by Mac computers was an extremely bold step. For those, Apple stopped using "proven" processors from Intel and opted for its own solution called Apple Silicon. In this step, he took a significant risk, since the new solution is based on a different architecture, due to which all previous applications for macOS must be redesigned.
However, the respondents to the survey by Fortune probably do not perceive the criticism so much. For the fifteenth year in a row, Apple has taken first place and clearly holds the title of the most admired company in the world. The company in fourth position is also interesting, i.e. just behind the popular technology giants. This rank was occupied by Pfizer. As you probably all know, Pfizer was involved in the development and production of the first approved vaccine against the disease Covid-19, which has earned it worldwide popularity - both positive and negative. In any case, the company appeared in the list for the first time in the last 16 years. The company Danaher, which specializes (not only) in tests for Covid-19, is also related to the current pandemic. She took the 37th position.
The entire ranking consists of 333 global companies and you can view it <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>. You can also find results from previous years here.
