| KB Home ranked No. 1 homebuilder Los Angeles-based KB Home has once again been ranked the #1 homebuilder in Fortune magazine's list of America's Most Admired Companies. This marks the second time that KB Home has received this recognition, having been ranked #1 in 2006. Fortune's list of America's Most Admired Companies is the definitive report card on corporate reputations. Fortune and its survey partners at Hay Group started with the Fortune 1,000-the 1,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by revenue-and the top foreign companies operating in the U.S. They sorted the companies by industry and selected the ten largest companies in each. To create the 64 industry lists, Hay Group asked executives, directors, and analysts to rate companies in their own industry on eight criteria, from investment value to social responsibility. This year only the best are listed -a company's score must rank in the top half of its industry survey to appear in the magazine list. A total of 622 companies in 65 industries were surveyed for this year's rankings. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
