Best Managed Companies list for all four years.
    Candidates for the 100 Best-Managed Companies list were culled from the

and company's practices in areas such as philanthropy and safety, and voting
by a panel of more than 100 business leaders, analysts, and academicians.
    "Our selection once again to the Industry Week 100 Best Managed Companies
list is affirmation of our success in finding new ways to exceed customer
expectations through innovation, technology and continuous improvements in
quality, service and value," said James H. Keyes, chairman and chief executive
officer of Johnson Controls.
    "Industry Week's 100 Best Managed Companies demonstrate superior,
consistent financial performance," says John Brandt, editor-in-chief of IW.
"We also honor these companies for investing heavily in such areas as research
and development, new markets, employees, and society."
