Giants 300 - "Science + Technology"

We've been getting questions about the 'Science + Technology' entry in the Giants 300 survey. Question: If we completed a university lab, do I put that revenue in 'University' or 'Science + Technology'? What about a research center for a pharmaceutical company? Answer: It's up to you to decide where to place the revenue. If your firm is known more for 'higher ed,' you should put that revenue into 'University.' If you prefer to be viewed as an 'S+T' firm, then put it in S+T. BUT DON'T PUT THE SAME REVENUE IN 2 DIFFERENT BUCKETS.

We've been getting questions about the "Science + Technology" entry in the Giants 300 survey.

Question: If we completed a university lab, do I put that revenue in "University" or "Science + Technology"? What about a research center for a pharmaceutical company?

Answer: It's up to you to decide where to place the revenue. If your firm is known more for "higher ed," you should put that revenue into "University." If you prefer to be viewed as an "S+T" firm, then put it in S+T.

BUT DON'T PUT THE SAME REVENUE IN 2 DIFFERENT BUCKETS.

I'd be glad to answer specific questions: [email protected], or 847-391-1040. Thanks!
