"It should come as little surprise, then, that Apple tops the BusinessWeek-Boston Consulting Group’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for the third year in a row. That sort of staying power speaks volumes about the sort of innovation that matters today. Unlike the Post-it Note, which proves the value of lone inventors, the iPod epitomizes today’s innovation sensibilities. These include the ascendance of design, the focus on the user’s experience, and the power of ecosystems: The iPod is a hit because it works so seamlessly with the iTunes software. The company’s much-anticipated iPhone, which launches in June, will likely keep Apple high on our list next year too."
In the latest BusinessWeek-Boston Consulting Group's list of the World's 50 Most Innovative Companies, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) tops the list 3rd year in a row. Apple is crowned the #1 - Number One - Top Innovative Company. Although BusinessWeek and the readers tout Apple's iPod and iTunes, and soon to be launched iPhone, I believe iMac has come onto its own now, and Apple TV will also have a significant impact in 2007 and beyond.
