"INDUSTRYWEEK'S 100 Best-Managed Companies demonstrate superior, consistent financial performance," said. John Brandt, editor-in-chief of IW. "Given the approach of the new millennium, and the challenges that it will bring, we also recognize these companies for investing heavily in such areas as change, market development, people and society."
