????3. 美國通用電氣公司

????美國通用電氣公司（GE）在三大領(lǐng)域改變了世界。它在公司前身愛迪生通用電氣公司（Edison General Electric）創(chuàng)始人托馬斯?愛迪生的指導(dǎo)下把電力和電燈帶給了美國和全世界。單就這一點(diǎn)足以使它名列榜單前茅，但不僅如此，它還在其他方面改變了世界。第二大變革是創(chuàng)建了美國的第一個研究實(shí)驗(yàn)室。第三大變革是開發(fā)了精密的管理人員發(fā)展系統(tǒng)，這是這家巨型企業(yè)創(chuàng)建之初形成的新理念。一個世紀(jì)以來，這個理念一直指引著世界各地的公司?！狦eoff Colvin

????3. GE

????GE GE changed the world in not one or two, but three big ways. Guided by Thomas Edison, founder of the predecessor company Edison General Electric, it brought electricity and light bulbs to America and the world. That alone would be enough to put GE high up on our list, but there’s more. Transformation No. 2 was creating America’s first research lab. No. 3 was building an elaborate system of management development, a new idea at the advent of the giant corporation, that has guided companies around the world for over a hundred years. —Geoff Colvin
