In a poll conducted Fortune where many corporate executives, directors, and industry analysts were asked to rank companies by nine different factors: Innovation, People management, Use of corporate assets, Social responsibility, Quality of management, Financial soundness, Long-term investment, Quality of products/services and Global competitiveness, Apple secured 1st rank for the 6th time in a row! Apple might have had a really bad time lately with its stock price crashing rapidly in the past few months but investors still believe that Apple is still the most profitable company.
Apple’s arch rival Samsung secured a spot way lower at no. 35. Samsung has been dominating the Smartphone markets in various markets globally with almost 65% of Android phones being produced by Samsung but the company still lacks against Apple in various factors. Apple has been under severe pressure to produce low priced iPhone and regain more market share against Android. There have been many recent rumours as well that Apple might be releasing a $330 contract-free polycarbonate iPhone in August 2013.
We just wish to see Apple regain its no. 1 spot in 2014 as well and prove the analysts wrong. A simple round up of rumours suggest that Apple might launch a TV, a low cost iPhone and a watch in 2013 and we believe that Apple just needs one of those amazing products to create a buzz again.
