Rating the ranking

Summary

MIT Technology Review’s “50 Smartest Companies” is a partially useful ranking to learn about allegedly innovative companies and to identify trends over time. However, caution is necessary: The companies listed are nothing more than a subjective evaluation of a non-representative small group: MIT Technology Review’s editorial staff.
