Microsoft? Google? Intel? Help Decide the 2012 World Finance 100

LONDON, April 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

One is hard pressed to think of a period in modern history in which the world's economies have gone through such a prolonged period of despondency. As markets have been rattled, few individuals, companies and governments can boast to have found themselves completely cocooned from the cancerous outcomes of global credit crises.

But some companies and individuals - having identified both symptoms and causes of these seismic ripples - repositioned themselves in order to continue to perform at the very highest standard. It takes an entrepreneurial and daring spirit to reconsider strategy, and the ability to read one's market with the utmost accuracy to perform well in current, unpredictable, markets.

For the fourth year running, World Finance will be acknowledging those outstanding performers, in the form of the World Finance 100. Throughout the course of the rest of 2012, the magazine will be inviting readers to put forward recommendations to inform the 100 entrants. Have your voice heard at http://www.worldfinance100.com.

At the end of the year, World Finance will announce the results on the magazine's site and in the print edition, distributed globally. As always, the magazine's editorial department will be interviewing some of the entrants on paper and in video, and for the first time ever a dedicated microsite will be set up for each of a selection of winners to discuss an aspect of their operations that has given them the greatest competitive edge in these challenging times.

World News Media is a leading publisher of quality financial and business magazines, enjoying a global distribution network that includes subscriber lists of the most prominent and senior decision-makers around the world, as well as comprehensive airport, hotel and conference site distribution.
