Millward Brown es una empresa británica que realiza estudios de mercado a nivel mundial. Acaba de publicar su lista de las empresas "más valiosas del mundo", el ranking se denomina BrandZ Top 100 Brands Shows Dramatic Growth in The Financial Power of Brands (1) en pdf.
¿Adivinen quién encabeza la lista?
¡Google, por supuesto!
Las empresas alemanas mejor ubicadas son las automotrices: BMW, en el puesto (28 mil millones de dólares); Porsche, 28 (21,8 mil millones); Mercedes, 36 (18 mil millones) y Volkswagen (VW), en el lugar número 96, (con 7,1 mil millones).
Parece que la SAP no cuenta cómo empresa alemana ya que no es mencionada en ninguno de los medios alemanes como entre los champions alemanes del ranking. Curioso, tampoco mencionan al Deutsche Bank, que está en el lugar 42. La Siemens, en el 47, me pregunto por cuánto tiempo; T-Mobile, en el 83, me pregunto lo mismo, pero con más razón aún que en el caso de la Siemens.
Parece que los periodistas copiaron la información de alguna agencia noticiosa donde sólo conocían a las automotrices como únicas empresas alemanas... En el link de más arriba, pueden ver el listado completo con breves explicaciones de la Millward Brown.

(1) Developed for WPP’s operating companies by Millward Brown Optimor, the BrandZ Ranking of the world’s Top 100 Most Powerful Brands is based on data from the BrandZ database. The BrandZ study, conducted annually by Millward Brown, measures the brand equity of 50,000 global “consumer facing” brands, and has interviewed over 1 million consumers globally. Consumer perception of a brand is a key input in determining brand value because brands are a combination of business performance, product delivery, clarity of positioning, and leadership. In addition to utilizing BrandZ data, the Top 100 ranking assesses Brand Value (using market and consumer research, in combination with financial data from Bloomberg and Datamonitor, to calculate and break-down intangible earnings), Brand Contribution (the brand’s effectiveness in driving business earnings), and Brand Momentum (an index of expected short-term brand growth). The ranking takes into account regional variations since even for truly global brands measures of brand contribution might differ substantially across countries.
