In commerce, middle-market companies or mid-market companies are generally those companies with revenues between US$ $10 million and $1 billion per year according to the most authoritative references including the Economist and the National Center for the Middle Market at the Ohio State University Fisher College of Business,〔http://www.economist.com/news/business/21564893-medium-sized-firms-are-unsung-heroes-america%E2%80%99s-economy〕 while other definitions exist.〔https://fisher.osu.edu/blogs/middlemarket/files/2012/01/Middle_Market_Research.pdf〕〔http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/middle-market-firms.asp#axzz2H877O8Gh〕 At the uppermost end of the middle market, those companies with $1 billion in revenues are generally the smallest eligible for a credit rating by one of the "major" credit-rating agencies. Due to the difference in asset turns in different industries some 〔https://www.divestopedia.com/definition/877/middle-market〕 regard either asset size or number of employees as a better metric for comparing company sizes.〔Henrekson, Magnus, and Dan Johansson. "Institutional effects on the evolution of the size distribution of firms". Small Business Economics 12.1 (1999): 11-23.〕 The middle market is also segmented into three size categories:〔https://www.divestopedia.com/definition/877/middle-market〕 - Lower Middle Market - $10 - $50 million of revenue; - Middle Market - $50 - $500 million of revenue; and - Upper Middle Market - $500 - $1 billion of revenue. == In the United States of America == The 200,000 plus US-based mid-market companies are essential to America’s economic success. They account for $10 trillion annually of the $30 trillion U.S. private sector gross receipts and 30 million jobs.〔 (CEO Connection Mid-Market Definition ) 〕〔 (NASDAQ Mid-Market Definition ) 〕 If the U.S. middle market were a country, its GDP would rank it as the fourth-largest economy in the world.〔 (National Center for the Middle Market ) 〕 While there are good sources of information about CEOs of large companies and small businesses; there is relatively little information about mid-size companies and their CEOs. As a consequence their issues and needs are underrepresented in policy and economic discussions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Middle-market company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
