The Global 50 are the fastest-growing companies operating in multiple countries. InformationWeek and its sister publication Optimize magazine ranked them on the basis of year-over-year growth as a percentage of revenue. We only looked at companies that reported 2004 year-end fiscal results on or before March 1, 2005, reveal both international and domestic revenue contributions, and are U.S.-based companies that operate both in the U.S. and outside of North America.
Working with public data such as SEC filings, Reuters (reuters.com) provided InformationWeek Research with corporate information and financial data estimates that resulted in the Global 50 list.
