As has become standard practice with the Gartner Top 25 lists, the high-tech industry dominates the rankings, holding down seven (28%) of the 25 slots. That could be due to the “sexiness” factor inherent in companies like Apple and Samsung, or to the high inventory turn rates, or to their impressive revenue growth curves. Whatever the case, high-tech clearly has “it” whereas other sectors—such as automotive, aerospace & defense, chemicals and electrical equipment manufacturers—don’t merit inclusion on the list at all. You’ll search in vain if you expect to find companies like Toyota, Boeing, Dow or General Electric in the Top 25.
