(Via Damon Darlin) Business 2 publishes the first SmartList. It's a
neat compilation of the smartest things companies did last year, based on some good research. Business 2.0 lists bold thinkers,brilliant ideas,clever strategies,savvy execution that characterize the list. Toyota is listed as the smartest company.The article says this smartest company certainly delivered. After leapfrogging Ford to become the No. 2 automaker worldwide, Toyota (TM) saw profits soar to a record $11.1 billion. Behind the numbers were intelligent moves in every corner of the operation, from product design and marketing to manufacturing and leadership. Please note that almost all listed here barring a few are heavily IT dependent and if you had been following these companies - you would note that some of them have deployed IT applications quite uniquely woven around well designed processes like the case of Toyota,P&G and Mcdonalds.
