The E-3 award was created to recognize the best in entrepreneurial excellence. Through an intensive multi-faceted process, Emerald's team of research analysts and portfolio managers identified the corporate leaders who have demonstrated:

a creative "outside the box" approach to corporate achievement;
an entrepreneurial approach that maximizes human initiative;
a corporate culture that promotes personal and corporate excellence;
a demonstrated record of accomplishment: creating jobs, stimulating growth, and enhancing shareholder value; and
an ability to effectively identify and adapt cutting-edge technologies and process.
