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

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

48 Koch Industries Conglomerate 110.00 60000.00 49 EXOR Investment 109.15 40.00 50 Cardinal Health Pharmaceuticals 107.55 40000.00 51 CVS Caremark Retail 107.10 202000.00 52 IBM Computer services 106.92 433362.00

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

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!
