Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) has taken the number one spot as the most valuable company in the world in the “The BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands” study. This is a report that looks at the top 100 brands across the food and beverage, technology, automotive, retail, beverage, financial services and luxury verticals. For three years Apple Inc. has had the number one spot but the company’s brand fell year over year to $148 billion. Google on the other hand has upped its brand value by 40% to $159 billion. According to Oscar Yuan, the vice president at Millward Brown Optimor who conducts the study, “I think the world is looking at Apple as a brand that created an Earth-shattering revolution, and I think that has slowed down a bit. The fact that [Google] doesn’t see themselves contained in one sector is really a testament to their boldness and willingness to try new things.”
Google Inc., a technology company, builds products and provides services to organize the information. The company offers Google Search, which provides information online; Knowledge Graph that allows searching for things, people, or places, as well as builds systems that recognize speech and understand natural language; Google Now, which provides information to users when they need it; and Product Listing Ads that offer product image, price, and merchant information.
