The Thinkers 50 was originally created by Suntop Media in association with Bloomsbury Publishing. The aim was to answer a simple question:
Who is the most important living management thinker alive today?
The Thinkers 50 team emailed hundreds of business managers and leaders, consultants, academics and MBA students in many different countries. The team also collected entries made using a form on the website. After sifting through more than 1,200 votes a list of prominent business thinkers was compiled.
The result was a short list of 80 names. Google was then used to look at the number of times each person was referenced, and factored into the ranking. Finally, each person was scored against 10 criteria.
