Abstract: Studies have shown that Japan has the most significant number of existing companies with histories over 200 years. Additionally, many of the companies with 100-year histories are Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs). This research explores the features of long-lived companies and compares with the studies of Takubo and Goto to examine whether historical-critical success factors may have future implications on global organizational sustainability. This paper explores how these factors support sustainable growth based on the commitment to continuous innovation, and identify core elements of sustainability for organizations to endure market shifts and times of uncertainty.
