Problems With The BusinessWek Tech Growth List: Motorola (MOT)

BusinessWeek puts together a list of the Top Tech Growth Companies each year. Fifty firms make the list. Most of the companies belong, but a few seem decidely out of place.

The project appears to be generated by computer before reviewed by humans.

They might have teken Motorola off the list. The company had a negative seven percent total return for the year and profits dropped 2%. The stock belonged on the list last year, but not for 2006.
