The International Corporate 1000

Book excerpt: The International Corporate 1000 represents a joint venture between Monitor Publishing Com pany of Washington, DC, and Graham & Trotman Limited of London. Monitor Publishing Company is well known as the publisher of The Federal Yellow Book, The Congressional Yellow Book, and The Corporate 1000. Graham & Trotman's annual directories providing data on the major companies in many parts of the world are equally established. The two publishing companies have pooled their expertise in this joint venture to research, compile and publish The International Corporate 1000, A Directory o/Who Runs The World's 1000 Leading Corporations. The directory was designed to help you identify and contact the senior executives who lead and manage these companies. Accordingly, you will find extensive, valuable detail about who does what, and how to reach them, but you will find little financial or statistical data. We have designed the book in this way because we believe there is a great need for an accurate and current executive directory, whereas a wealth of financial data is already available from many different sources. The organization of the directory is by key geographical region, then by major country within each region, and then alphabetically by company within each country.
