Survey results from 3,900 executives, directors and securities analysts are used to determine 50 "All-Stars," which ranked in the top 25 percent of last year’s surveys and in the top 20 percent of their industry.

Though no Indiana company was in the top 50 overall, Columbus-based Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI), Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group Inc. (NYSE: SPG) and Steel Dynamics Inc.
