2003 Global Influentials

It is always good to have a list of best companies - we had a list for Asia's Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises, but there are other lists such as a Best Employers in Asia List from Hewitt Associates or a WorkAsiaâ„¢ Study from Watson Wyatt. Just to see who comes up next and what happens to those that start declining. Well, this is an exercise that I won't do for you - if you are interested in changes from 2002 to 2003, you have to follow the link indicated.

CNN and Times Magazine just published a couple of lists - lets take a look at the 2003 Global Influentials, according to their ranking:

1. Shai Agassi -Executive Board Member of SAP
2. Charlie Bell - President and Chief Operating Officer of McDonald's
3. Ursula Burns - Senior Vice President of Xerox
4. John Elkann - Manager with the Agnelli Group and Fiat board member
5. Carlos Ghosn - President and CEO of Nissan and CEO-designate of Renault
6. Robert Iger - President and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company
7. Hamilton James - Vice Chairman of The Blackstone Group
8. Jeff Jordan - eBay's Senior Vice President, U.S. Business
9. Mel Karmazin - President and Chief Operating Officer of Viacom
10. Ken Kutaragi - President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment
11. Aerin Lauder - Vice President of Estee Lauder
12. Victor Li - Managing Director and Deputy Chairman of Cheung Kong
13. James and Lachlan Murdoch - James Murdoch is Chief Executive Officer of British Sky Broadcasting while Lachlan Murdoch is Deputy Chief Operating Officer of News Corp.
14. Indra Nooyi - President and Chief Financial Officer of PepsiCo
15. Paul Otellini - President and Chief Operating Officer of Intel
16. Adam Silver - President of NBA Entertainment
17. Noel Tata - Managing Director of Trent, a subsidiary of the Tata Group
18. Rex Tillerson - Executive Vice President of ExxonMobil
19. Shiro Tsuda - Senior Executive Vice President of NTTDoCoMo
20. Lu Weiding - President of Wanxiang

The great piece is that there are lots of executives from the Asian powerhouses in China, Japan, and India. What is sad, so, is the lack of entries from Australia dn Souteast Asia.

There are more lists, however, such as the "'Globalists Strategist Category" or the "Innovator List", in case of interest.
