METHODOLOGY: There are three key aspects that contribute to the assessment: the financial performance of the branded products or services, the role of brand in the purchase decision process and the strength of the brand. Additionally, for inclusion on the list, at least 30% of a brand's revenue must come from outside the home country, and no more than 50% of revenues should come from any one continent. Companies must also have a presence on at least three major continents, and must have broad geographic coverage in growing and emerging markets.
