[edit] Suggestion
Thought Wikinvest:Nucor would make a good external link - it's on the interwiki map and gets into some the things like market share, revenue sources, competitors that might be of interest to some readers.

[edit] The bias
I am almost completely certain that the "Culture" bit is, even if not incorrect, very biased towards the company. 68.39.174.238 04:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
In the case of Nucor, the company has made a point throughout it's history to emphasize a good corporate culture. Third parties such as business schools often use it as a case study. Thus, reference to the corporate culture is to be expected, and the consensus seems to be that the culture is genuinely a good one. A google search of "nucor corporate culture" reveals that positive commentary about Nucor's culture is commonplace, and central to any discussion about the company.

And I'd like to ask whether it is just a failing of the PDF copy of their annual report, or whether or not the assertion that since "As a symbol of Nucor's egalitarian culture, the annual report has the names of every employee printed on the cover", Nucor really only has a few hundred employees. May I suggest a removal of the word "every" from the above claim, or am I simply not reading the right annual report?
Otherwise I am not too bothered about the bias - it seems more like something pinched from a management school text than corporate propaganda. 220.238.117.68 16:17, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
The annual report does indeed include every employee's name, in alphabetical order. The printed copy has this on the front and back covers, but the PDF puts them all together at the front.
