The Drucker Institute, part of Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, Calif., developed a measure to rank managed services companies based on their holistic effectiveness. This effectiveness is defined as “doing the right things well.” The ranking includes U.S. companies whose shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market, and that meet criteria related to their value and prominence.
The measure seeks to assess how well a company follows a core set of principles that serve as touchstones for five dimensions of corporate performance:
- Customer Satisfaction
- Employee Engagement and Development
- Innovation
- Social Responsibility
- Financial Strength

Johnson & Johnson
The healthcare company slipped down to the 9th position in 2022 from the seventh position in 2021. Johnson & Johnson’s average score also decreased to 77 in 2022 from 80.9 in 2021.
Mastercard Inc.

Other big companies like Procter & Gamble, HP Inc., Pfizer Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., Accenture, and Adobe have also made it to the top 20 best-managed companies in 2022.
According to the researchers at Claremont Graduate University’s Drucker Institute, the revenue growth of companies such as Meta Platforms Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. has slowed following two years of a pandemic-driven boom. In addition, Uber Technologies Inc., Salesforce Inc., and Google parent Alphabet Inc. all dropped in rank this year in the group’s annual ranking. Meta posted the fourth-largest decline in overall score in the group and dropped from No. 31 in 2021 to No. 130 in 2022.
Car companies saw big gains that Drucker researchers attribute partly to a growing focus on making electric vehicles, which helped auto makers’ social-responsibility scores. Along with General Motors, Tesla Inc. and Ford Motor Co. also jumped higher in this year’s survey.
