Global Company Performance Ranking conducted in China for listed Chinese companies

For the Rankings, three indexed company performance indicators were calculated on 2015 financial figures: Sales Growth, Profitability Growth and Investment/Total Shareholder Return Growth. By indexing the parameters, disturbances from external factors are eliminated. Furthermore, the performance of the Chinese enterprises was compared with 30-70 companies from the same industry or similar business cycles worldwide. Only CEOs with company performance superior than at least 50% of their global peers were considered.
