Very Funny
Posted by Khaled B at 03:54 UAE time
It is very funny to read the list at this in this world. Arabian Business, after reading this, I think you lost credibility in my eyes.
Please keep in mind that some companies deserve to be there, but never the less, it is very shameful to see the list and how this website / magazine conducted its analysis.

List of funnies
Posted by Enas at 14:00 UAE time
This should be called the list of companies that spend most of their operational budgets on advertising. False Advertising at that.

WE all know how it works
Posted by yusuf at 01:00 UAE time
After reading a survey recently done by a leading Kuwaiti Newspaper which asked 3 top CEOs of Kuwaiti Companies (only 3 agreed to participate because of the “sensitivity of the issue “) how they viewed the way business magazines rated companies and issued awards, the basic consensus was, if you advertise, or contribute to the economic advancement of the publication, then your company be rated favorably. This was recently published in the Alqabas News paper.

SGH Group
Posted by mohand at 14:42 UAE time
Actually, I'm doubt of this choice. As we are working in the medical field since 25 years, the SGH was not an advance Group in providing state-of-art in medical field. Also the medical care are very low especially if you look to the level of handling the medical disposable items which are using twice.
They are "SGH Group opens at least one hospital every year and now has over 3000 employees rising at a rate of 16% a year". It seems to open hospital is very easy like a barber shop. You need stuff, educated stuff, devices, ….
But I doubt.

Importance of
Posted by Omair Zahid at 12:33 UAE time
In our economy i. e. Pakistan in particular and Sub-Continent in general, most of the money coming in is from private equity of GCC nationals which is then converted into creating opportunities for businesses like automobiles manufacturing, micro-chip manufacturing, financial institutions and real estate. The achievements of these companies are then supported by bringing in the institutional investors and/or raising IPOs. The criteria for selecting the most admired companies should be based on the ones who survived through bad times and made it to the top, not the once who were born with the silver spoon in their mouths. I think ITP has contributed towards the importance of "Ignorance", is it a bliss? I hope not, and would like to support it by taking my hats off for someone to begin the evolution, no matter how silly it might be.

Gulf's most admired companies
Posted by Kashi Nath at 16:58 UAE time
The article is an eye opener, and also provides a perspective of the contribution of the companies involved in the growth and developement of the Region's economy. May be the assessment parameters could be enhanced in mapping the companies in accordance with key international criteria and norms, thereby opening the umbrella, and this should be next time around cover the best 100 companies. Surprisingly though some of the well known companies do not surface. Why ?

happenning region??
Posted by ASR at 15:38 UAE time
Well Mr Naidu,your comment of nothing happenning anywhere in the world is testamony to your ignorance as most economies elswhere are REAL economies which manufacture and sell and technology and innovation are key drivers.The only driver of the "boom" economies in the gulf are oil and gas which the "happenning New world" as you put it thrives on.Of the GCC only KSA has a stable industrial output.So pls get ur facts right!

Most admired companies list is very good
Posted by hiro bachani at 03:10 UAE time
but please compile this list next time with 100 companies- because i am sure you will agree that you have been forced to miss some really good companies. Like where are the famous al futtaim companies- where are the al ghurair companies, and many such admirable behemoths. Keep up the good work- i would like to see a list of the top 500 Arab companies, akin to the fortune and forbes 500 companies. This way you will make many more c ompanies happier by including them in your advertiser"s data bank. regards- hiro bachani

Nice to know that UAE companies are in the big league
Posted by Vijay Naidu at 21:39 UAE time
It is an excellent article in capsule form. One quickly goes through the fifty most admired companies in this 'most happening region' in the world. The world should take notice of the most positive things happening in the Gulf. These days we do not hear anything great happening in the US or Europe. Gulf is where the 'New World is'
