How the Management Top 250 Rankings Are Picked
  + stars: | 2022-12-11 | by ( ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
The Management Top 250 ranking is based on a holistic measure of corporate effectiveness that was developed by the Drucker Institute, a part of Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, Calif. The measure seeks to assess how well a company follows a core set of principles advanced by the late Peter Drucker , a professor, consultant, author and longtime Wall Street Journal columnist. These principles serve as touchstones for five dimensions of corporate performance: customer satisfaction, employee engagement and development, innovation, social responsibility and financial strength. They are standardized so that the typical range is 0 to 100, the mean is 50 and the standard deviation is 10. If a company is one standard deviation below the mean (with a score of 40), its results fall in the bottom 15% to 20% of that larger universe.
Some of the companies in this year’s ranking of the 250 best-managed companies have a weak spot that may be worth paying attention to. When the Drucker Institute compiles the ranking, it gives companies a red flag if they put up a showing below the 25th percentile in one Gap stores have hit the company’s balance sheet,of five categories: financial strength, customer satisfaction, innovation, social responsibility, and employee engagement and development. The red flags serve as a warning that a company—even one that scores highly in every other aspect of the ranking—needs to address an area of weakness before it has a broader effect on its business.
