A questionnaire survey of Asians

Generally speaking, the situation and status of ethnic minorities in American companies are constantly improving. The survey shows that among the top 50 enterprise managers, ethnic minorities account for 24%, the ratio of 200 1 is 23%, and the ratio of 1998 is only 17%. Ethnic minorities accounted for 19% of the company's board of directors, and only 1 1% in 2000. In this survey, Fortune magazine distributed questionnaires to more than 200 large companies in the United States, and divided ethnic minorities into Asians, Africans, Hispanics and Native Americans. The main factors to consider the ranking of enterprises are:

-Number of ethnic minorities in the staff

But there is no necessary relationship between quantity and enterprise ranking. Take Cisco and Intel for example. The number of ethnic minorities in the two companies is above 40% and 30% respectively, which is in the middle and upper reaches of the top 50, but the comprehensive ranking is behind the 30 th.

-the position of ethnic minorities

This is a more important factor than quantity. Whether they have entered the management, and their proportion in the whole management. How many directors are black, Latino, Asian or Native American?

-Remuneration of ethnic minorities

Whether the same identity will get the same dividend, and how many colored people make up the top 50 companies with the highest salary.

The questionnaire also asks how these companies allocate funds, whether they buy goods from companies run by ethnic minorities and whether they will guarantee ethnic minority companies. After combining various data, Fortune rated each company.

The big winner in 20001year was the American housing credit service giant Federal National Mortgage Association, which topped the list for the first time, mainly due to its powerful management team composed of ethnic minorities: 18 has five board members, and the company's CEO Frank is black. McDonald's ranks fifth and has the largest number of ethnic minority employees, reaching 55%, while whites have become a minority.

In addition, Fortune also lists the top ten companies that are most suitable for Asians, Africans, Spaniards and Native Americans according to the proportion of each ethnic group.

The top six most suitable for Asians are all high-tech companies.

Including INTEL, Sun Microsystems, Sun and other well-known industry leaders. The first place is Applied Materials Company (it is the world's largest supplier of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, from which both Intel and Samsung order CPU and memory chips). This is also the fifth consecutive year that it has entered the list. A previous report pointed out that half of the researchers in Silicon Valley are China or Chinese, and 1/3 are Indian immigrants. On the one hand, it shows that Asians have comparative advantages in the field of science and technology, on the other hand, it is also related to the immigration policy orientation of the United States.

Seven of the top 10 most suitable for African Americans are service companies.

Contrary to Asians, black people are comfortable in the service industry in the United States, including McDonald's, FedEx, Coca-Cola and other large multinational companies.
