[history of Forbes]
'the purpose of business is to create happiness, not just the accumulation of wealth. '
--B. C. Forbes
At the beginning of the 20th century, B.C. Forbes, a Scottish journalist, came to New York with his dream and pursuit, trying to make his own sky in this vibrant city. With great shrewdness and wisdom, he soon became the leading financial journalist in the United States.
However, his ideal is more than that. In 1917, Forbes, 37, independently founded the first magazine in the United States that exclusively covered business news, but he used a different way of reporting from that time. He objected to the prevailing method of piling up boring business figures, and insisted on focusing on the people in charge of the enterprise.
For 90 years, Forbes magazine has been advocating entrepreneurship and innovation with the slogan of "focusing on practice and practitioners". It is because of its clear positioning and unique in-depth reports that Forbes has become the only major business magazine in the United States to maintain a 10-year continuous growth. Its audience is the leading business magazine, reaching 5 million in 2003.
With China's increasingly important position in the global economy, Forbes' attention to China has also been continuously strengthened. In April 2003, Forbes came to China with its mission and positioning. The Chinese version of Forbes adheres to the consistent purpose of advocating entrepreneurship in the parent magazine, and creates wealth creation tools for high-level enterprise decision makers who pursue entrepreneurial values and free enterprise spirit in China.
Forbes, as well as fortune, BusinessWeek and the economist, is one of the four major financial magazines with global influence. The ranking selected by the magazine has become an indicator of economic trend.
