Live Long and Prosper
Very few companies survive for centuries. Evan hears from those who have. How have they achieved extreme longevity? And is their history a burden or a motivator?
Very few companies survive for centuries. Evan Davis hears from a luxury jeweller, a removals firm and a diversified business that makes money from ships, finance and groceries. Between them they have nearly a thousand years of business experience. What strategies have they embarked on to ensure that they live long and prosper? Has their history become a burden or a motivator? And have they sacrificed growth for corporate longevity?
