Companies were scored on a 1-10 scale on nine reputation drivers. The average of the nine reputation driver scores constitutes the overall reputation score. In addition to the industry rankings, respondents are asked to pick the 10 companies they admire most from a list of companies that ranked in the top 25% in last year’s survey, plus those companies that finished in the top 20% of their industries. Responses are used to generate the overall “Top 50” list.
