The Processing and the Calculation of the Results
j integral evaluation of the professional reputation of a candidate was calculated by the following formula:
where
ai - the weighting coefficient of the criteria of the evaluation of the professional reputation is non-negative the sum of which equals to 1;
Xij - the point in every criterion of the professional reputation evaluation is calculated by the simple average of all the grades given by the experts on the questions of the questionnaires on the candidate in question.
kp - the coefficient of correction depends on the company’s volume of production (services provided). A company with the annual production volume over $1 billion has the coefficient of 1.45 of the base one, from $100 million up to $1 billion – 1.15, from $50 million up to $100 million – 1.00; from $10 million up to $50 million – 0.85, below $10 million – 0.70.
Grades were rounded to the second figure after the dot and were multiplied by 100 to provide the integers of the grades.
After the indices were calculated, the candidates were grouped in Top 100 and in the four groups of the professional reputation under the letters A, B, C and D, where they are not ranked because the difference in the points they scored is insignificant.
We should note that the research does not evaluate the activities of the business leaders – the representatives of the Russian business society whose work has the national importance and impacts the Russian economy. Executives who head and manage major Russian industrial holdings are alphabetized in the list of business leaders.
