What Makes a Company Last?

What makes a company stand the test of time and is corporate longevity is still a sign of success?

Peter Day asks whether companies really should still be built to last in today's hi-tech internet world. What are the characteristics of those that stand the test of time?

In interviews with business leaders and entrepreneurs he discusses whether longevity still matters.
