This is a presentation from the webinar on June 12, 2012 where we presented an update regarding this year's KWD Webranking. During the webinar we present key dates, highlights from the background research as well as some major updates to the scoring criteria. We have also introduced a new classification of companies into industries which is based on the ICB super sectors, which will be used to create industry lists that cuts across countries.
