19 May 2016You might also want to take a look at the data on the Global 5000 — goes beyond just 500 companies to 5,000. Includes those firms that are publicly reporting (like Fortune does) and has the largest private firms as well.
The data has been mapped via Tableau – http://tabsoft.co/1Xn68Au

Does anyone have this?
Thanks in advance.
