But perhaps the biggest surprise of the year belonged to Schering-Plough, which jumped from 17th last year to fourth this year. Why the big change? Schering-Plough puts its poll vault down to its emphasis on acting like a small company. Participants, meanwhile, say that a new spirit of openness, ethics and honesty can help transform the drug industry's shoddy public reputation.
