IBM公司

    2012年《财富》500强排名：第20位

    2012年利润（单位：百万美元）：16,604

    2012年是罗睿兰掌舵IBM的第一年。尽管销售额有所下滑，但IBM的利润实现了增长。向利润率更高的软件和服务的长远战略调整提振了公司的业绩表现，但国内外企业技术采购支出持续疲软使蓝色巨人面临严峻的收入瓶颈。尽管2013年第一季度业绩表现弱于预期，但IBM仍然维持全年业绩预期不变。不过，由于销售额持续下滑，公司已表示将通过裁员来实现全年盈利目标。——T.Z.

    Fortune 500 rank: 20

    2012 profit (millions): 16,604

    In her first year at the helm, Ginni Rometty steered IBM toward higher profits in 2012, despite a dip in sales. A long-term shift to higher-margin software and services has helped prop up results, but Big Blue faces tough revenue challenges amid continued weak corporate tech spending at home and abroad. Despite a weaker-than-expected showing in the first quarter of 2013, IBM is sticking by its full-year earnings guidance. But as sales continue to slide, the company has indicated job cuts to meet its goals.—T.Z.
