Found something interesting by exploring a “List of companies by revenue” Data Set:

Standard

I like exploring data sets to find interesting patterns from them. To that end, I was exploring a data-set: List of companies by revenue and I added a column to calculate Revenue/Employee to explore the dataset:

And I found an outlier!

Here’s the outlier: Exor

Here’s what it’s interesting:

It’s revenue in 2012 is: 109.15 billion USD

And number of employees is just 40!

Just think of Revenue/Employee !

To put things in perspective, Lets Compare that with its neighbor in the data-set:

Rank | Company | Industry | Revenue in USD billion | Employees

48Koch IndustriesConglomerate110.0060000.00
49EXORInvestment109.1540.00
50Cardinal HealthPharmaceuticals107.5540000.00
51CVS CaremarkRetail107.10202000.00
52IBMComputer services106.92433362.00

I got to know about this by quickly creating a data visualization to explore the data-set:

list of companies by revenue

And removing Trafigura, Vitol and Exor, this is what we have:

Observation: oil and gas industry have relatively higher revenue/employee ration.

That’s about it for this post. Thanks for reading about my data exploration!
