- asset value;
- capitalization size.
For young, fast-growing companies, experts have introduced an indicator that assesses how much assets have increased since the day they were founded.
The figures that appear in the annual reports of the world's largest corporations make a stunning impression. To paraphrase a well-known expression, we can say: "Corporations rule the world." The most successful global companies feel comfortable at the top of the financial Olympus, rarely and reluctantly allowing ambitious newcomers to the podium.
1. Manage the dream. Toyota
The assets of the automotive giant Toyota are estimated at $406 billion. It is the largest automaker in 
the world. The company began operating in 1924 with the sale of looms and over a nearly century-old history has become a global auto giant. In addition to the production and sales of cars, the company conducts business in several directions. Toyota Motors Corporation owns a financial structure, an insurance company, and conducts real estate transactions. The success of the Toyota brand was brought by 14 commandments of doing business, which, with true Japanese scrupulousness, reflected all areas of life of a large corporation. “Make a decision slowly, look at everything with your own eyes, educate your leaders” - common truths work great, especially if they are written in the “corporation production system” and are mandatory for everyone - from workers to directors. Over the three quarters of 2016, more than 8 million cars were sold - this is an absolute world record.
2. Black gold. ExxonMobil
Oil is called black gold for a reason. One of the most valuable companies in the world, ExxonMobil is a giant 
oil refining industry. The company has assets worth $395.4 billion, and net profit in the first half of 2016 amounted to $16 billion. The history of ExxonMobil began in the century before last, when Standard Oil, owned by the Rockefeller family, was divided into several companies. As a result of many transformations, divisions and mergers, ExxonMobil, a public company, appeared in 1999, which today owns shares in oil refineries in 45 countries, a network of gas stations in 100 countries and is engaged in oil production around the world. ExxonMobil's performance is the best illustration of long-term success. For all the time of its existence, the corporation has not had a single loss-making period.

holding in the world. The main activity is investment and management.

4. IT geniuses. Microsoft
Microsoft has lagged behind the leader by almost 100 billion, its assets are estimated at $303.5 billion. Since last year

In addition, Microsoft produces computer accessories and its own tablet model. Microsoft products are sold in almost a hundred countries around the world, and their office suite is the most used on the market. The nearest competitors from year to year remain far behind. The exception is APPLE, but its profits are due to the successful sale of the iPhone and electronics. Microsoft's latest success is attributed to a change in leadership. The new CEO, Satya Nadella, is committed to a tough business demeanor and aggressive marketing policy.

billion. The company owns more than 10 thousand stores around the world, the number of employees is 2.5 million people. Retailing is one of the most complex types of business. Wal-Mart is successful because of its tough business practices and cost-cutting strategies. Many WalMart store suppliers testify that the company is forcing them to cut selling prices, and small businesses are angry that a huge network monopolizes the retail market in many countries. In addition, Wal-Mart became notorious for violating the rights of workers and constant conflicts with labor unions. Since 2000, the company began a period of instability, during which two major projects in South Korea and Germany.

"Own APPLE, you own the best" is an idea that continues to make APPLE billions in profits.

Every year, Google introduces new applications to users, improves and updates existing ones.
9. Eternal classic. Coca Cola
Coca-Cola has somewhat lost ground. The most popular soda in the world began to lose its leadership position 
retail sales of soft drinks in 2010. Since then, the company's profit has been gradually declining. Some analysts attribute this to the fashion for proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Others see a link between falling sales and the merger between The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Enterprises. Despite the disappointing statistics, especially the disastrous one in 2014, the company is valued at $58 billion. A decrease in sales does not always mean a loss, so the Coca-Cola brand is traditionally included in the world rankings of the most successful companies.
10. Business on communication. Facebook
The Facebook brand is valued at $52.6 billion. It is the most popular social network in the world. Every year 
the company increases profits, and, accordingly, the value of assets. Last year alone, the growth was more than 50%.

In 2011, a fantastic figure was reached - in one month the number of network visitors exceeded 1 trillion. In August 2015, the billionth personal page on the Facebook network was registered. We can say that today Internet communication is one of the most demanded goods on the world market.
The main assessment is consumer confidence
Another interesting indicator by which the company's success is assessed is the confidence index. This criterion was introduced by the American consulting firm Reputation Insitute. The index shows the ratio of customer confidence to the company's reputation. All the companies in the top ten are large transnational holdings, most of which are based in the United States.
Top 10 companies with the highest consumer confidence index:

Market capitalization as a method of assessing the value of a company
Market capitalization, along with annual income and the sum of all assets, is one of the methods for assessing the investment attractiveness of a company.
Using market capitalization to represent the size of a company is important because the size of a company is a major factor in determining the various characteristics that investors are interested in, including risk.
Being the product of the number of shares and their value, market capitalization is not the price at which the owner will necessarily sell his company.
Despite the fact that companies are overvalued by the market or, on the contrary, undervalued, in order to get the real value of a company, it is necessary to consider its activities from a fundamental point of view.
