For the fifth consecutive year now, Apple has topped the list of ‘The 25 Most Innovative Companies’ in BusinessWeek’s annual special report, produced in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group.
Google, Toyota Motor, Microsoft, and Nintendo round out the top five. Newcomers to this year’s top-25 list include Samsung, Volkswagen, and Coca-Cola.
Not that long ago, innovation was a must-do priority for business. Now research and development might seem more like vacation homes and new cars–luxuries that will have to wait for better times.
In an annual survey of top executives by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), more respondents said that innovation spending will be flat or down than since the ranking began in 2005. On the other hand, after focusing on shorter-term, lower-risk projects, a majority said they are satisfied with their returns on innovation investments. But recession and market meltdown aside, many of the corporations on the 2009 ranking are finding ways to forge ahead.
Redwood Shores, CA – April 13, 2009 – The Boston Bruins will win the Stanley Cup for the first time in 37 years, defeating original six rival Chicago Blackhawks in a six game series, according to the official EA SPORTS simulation of the 2009 NHL playoffs on the award-winning NHL 09 videogame.
Boston, led by shutdown defenseman Zdeno Chara, outmuscled the Blackhawks and received timely scoring from Conn Smythe Trophy winner Phil Kessel to capture its sixth Stanley Cup, and first since 1972. Kessel, playing on the Bruins top line with playoff leading scorer Marc Savard, delivered two overtime game-winners during the Finals. He finished with 14 goals in the playoffs, including five in the Finals.
