Great analysis. It gave me the idea to look at revenues and profits per employee for a few well known companies in the Tech industry but also in petroleum, finance or aerospace:

Revenues and profits per employee are definitely interesting measurements of global profitability.

hi, I am a chinese business journalist who based in Silicon Valley. i am really very surprised to see that baidu’s profit is so large. you know i am from China and know this company very much, so I count it again just now. I found you made a mistake. the baidu’s 163,844 you mentioned is RMB, actually not dollars. So the position of baidu in this pic should be the NO.14, and after HP, before SUN. Their profit per head should be 24312.5 dollars.

I’m sorry to correct it.
Have a good weekend.

Did anyone happen to look at RIM’s stats for their fiscal 2009? I am not a financial analyst, but it looks like they also rank at the top of this heap…

Great work Google Employees. Thats true that its getting revenue from search ads. Best part is they segregated employees properly instead of laying off them in large numbers. Google claims that its people are very smart and full of innovative ideas which does increase its value.
