What are the best run megacorporations?

CSM email newsletter carries this summarization of a Fortune article:
They're big, successful, and admired: top companies in US Blue-chip businesses, those with great bottom lines, are almost by definition well run. That's why they dominate Fortune magazine's annual list of most admired companies. General Electric tops the 2007 list, and the remainder of the Top 10 hardly need an introduction either. To conduct the survey for Fortune, pollsters for the Hay Group tallied the opinions of more than 3,000 executives, directors, and securities analysts on eight criteria, among them people management, quality of products, investment value, and social responsibility. The 10 most-admired companies operating in the US, and the countries where each maintains its headquarters:

1.) General Electric US
2.) Toyota Japan
3.) Procter & Gamble US
4.) Johnson & Johnson US
5.) Apple US
6.) Berkshire Hathaway US
7.) FedEx US
8.) Microsoft US
9.) BMW Germany
10. PepsiCo US
You can click up Fortune on CNN Money.com and navigate to the article "America's Most-Admired Companies" (click the foregoing, and I'll take you there directly). From this location you can read indepth on each of the top 10 listed above, or you can check out the top 20. Of course, who knows how accurate the entire exercize actually is?
