HDFC, Wipro, Infosys among Asia's most admired companies

There's no shortage of Asian companies that have prospered thanks to a laser-like focus on their home markets. But what wins enough fans to land on BusinessWeek's list of most admired companies in Asia is success overseas.
Over the past few weeks, we've been asking visitors to BusinessWeek.com to vote for the Asian companies they most admire. The results now in and one trend is clear. Whether it's Toyota in Japan, Lenovo in China, or Infosys in India, the companies that have won recognition this year are those that have been pushing to build their businesses globally.
Toyota, of course, has a long history in the U.S. Now the Japanese automaker is beefing up its presence there even more. "We're committed to building cars where we sell them. We've done that, and there's no reason to think we won't be doing that in the future," says Jim Press, head of Toyota's North American operations.
