OK, it isn't really parallel grammatical form in this case, since they
are all noun phrases, but the form in which each company is listed and
attributions given for each should be parallel.  That is, details such
as "the consultancy $foo" or "$foo of Japan" or "$foo, Inc." should
either be added in all cases or not at all.
