為編排 InfoTech 100 榜單,《商業周刊》從麥格勞-希爾公司 (The McGraw-Hill Companies) 旗下業務部門標准普爾 (Standard & Poor) 的 Compustat 數據庫中的財務數據著手。該數據庫已經用計算機存儲了28000多家上市公司的信息。《商業周刊》在全球範圍內評選頂級信息技術企業。今年的評選範圍新增了將業務拓展至電信領域的電纜企業。有參評資格企業的營收額至少要達到3.00億美元。存在以下情形的企業均不在該評選的考慮範圍之內:股價降幅超過75%、銷售額萎縮或公司其它發展領域的未來前景堪憂。《商業周刊》還摒棄了一些在其國家中占據壟斷地位或近乎擁有壟斷的勢力的電話企業,因為這將導致不公平競爭。餘下的企業集團按照以下四項標准進行評選:股本回報率、營收增長率、股東回報率(假設平均加權)和總營收(加權後)。
Asia's Top 10 IT Companies
The 2008 BusinessWeek IT 100 includes 37 Asian names, and they're not sitting still. Nintendo leads the way, Bharti Airtel slumps, and LG makes the list
By Bruce Einhorn
Despite regular predictions that an ever more confident China will eclipse Taiwan, the island remains Asia's clear
technology leader. This year's version of the BusinessWeek IT 100 has 37 Asian names, up from 35 a year ago,
and once again, Taiwan dominates the list. With 16 companies (including Foxconn International, listed in Hong-
Kong but controlled by Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision), the island is behind only the U.S., which has 36.
Among this year's biggest losers: India's software-services providers. Companies such as Infosys (INFY) and
Wipro (WIT) have taken a hammering over the past year because the falling dollar and slumping U.S. economy
have hit business in their largest market. Tata Consultancy Services, for instance, was No. 23 on the IT 100 last
year. In our new rankings, it drops off the list completely.
Taiwan's best tech companies aren't sitting still. To reduce their reliance on low-margin manufacturing for
outsourcing clients like Motorola (MOT) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), some of the island's electronics leaders
have been focusing on building their brands. And it's no coincidence that this year's top Taiwanese performers,
No. 9 Asustek Computer and No. 10 High Tech Computer, have been among the most aggressive in moving
beyond their contract-manufacturing roots to market their own products, such as the innovative Eee PC, to
consumers around the world. Here's a look at Asustek, HTC, and the other Asian Top 10 in IT.
