Abstract: Abstract Surviving and thriving is primarily a matter of adapting oneself to one’s environment. Companies are not exempted from this rule. If the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, evolution took four billion years to find its way. The first recognizable form of life started to exist after 550 million years. Mankind emerged approximately four million years ago. As for the oldest companies still in existence, they are less than 400 years old.
