LAS VEGAS, Feb. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts
International (NYSE: MGM) has been named among FORTUNE's 2016 list
of the World's Most Admired Companies, available online at
www.FORTUNE.com.
The annual list is compiled on behalf of FORTUNE by the Korn
Ferry Hay Group, a global management consulting firm that surveyed
thousands of executives, directors, and securities analysts to
determine the results.
"Our focus is delivering premium guest experiences through
iconic resort environments, with employees who are passionate for
excellence," said Jim Murren,
Chairman & CEO of MGM Resorts International. "The recognition
that we are a FORTUNE 'Most Admired Company' encourages us to
endlessly strive for continuous innovation, and to be a leader
in socially responsible behavior in all we do."
Survey Methodology
The Most Admired Companies list is a leading report card on
corporate reputations. Korn Ferry Hay Group started with
approximately 1,500 companies: the FORTUNE 1,000—the 1,000 largest
U.S. companies ranked by revenue—and non-U.S. companies in
FORTUNE's Global 500 database with revenues of $10 billion or more. Korn Ferry Hay Group then
selected the 15 largest for each international industry and the 10
largest for each U.S. industry, surveying a total of 652 companies
from 30 countries. To create the 54 industry lists, Korn Ferry Hay
Group asked 4,000 executives, directors, and analysts to rate
companies in their own industry on nine criteria, from investment
value to social responsibility. A company's score must rank in
the top half of its industry survey to be listed.
