Forbes also explained that the difference between those included in the list of 100 Most Innovative Growth Companies is the bonus provided by equity investors on the “educated hunch” that the company would continue to develop a “profitable new growth.” The business magazine generates its annual list by measuring “Innovative Premium” using a propriety formula in collaboration with Credit Suisse Group AG (ADR) (NYSE:CS).
