why big 4 - zulfi - 11-22-2007
I want to say all members of Icap that why they say about big Four?
This may be big three or big Ten.
Every one know that we are the people giving numbers to the firm according to their merits provided to us.So it unjust to say big 4
we should say big 3 or otherwise big 10.
What is the opinion of my fellows?

Dear,
Big 4 is to be said in world perspective or to some extent in KHI perspective.
Otherwise, for Pakistan, it is better to say Big 3.

Defininitely, the word top 3 is more often used, atleast in Lahore. Because its after big 3 when there is some difference.

they are said big 4 because of worldwide revenues they have and in number of employees.

In my view there is a big gap between big 4 and the fifth one. Thats why it is so called big four and not big three. However if you visit state bank site there you will see that big ten

Imran if you are talking about Lahore, the gap you mentioned starts after big3. And which one among MYASCO and RACO is better is debatable. That is why I prefer the word big3 in Lahore's perspective.
