From Business Week:

“This year’s list of the best performers is our most international to date

The companies that make up the BusinessWeek 50 represent the star performers in each of the 10 sectors that make up the S&P 500. Given our three-year measurement period, our list typically includes a number of companies that are riding the crest of different business cycles, which means this year’s rankings include seven companies that are benefiting from the surge in energy prices, as well as 10 companies that gained in different ways from the housing boom. The Class of 2008 is also among the most global groups of companies since we published our first rankings in 1997.”
