While the five drivers of longevity identified in the blog must have certainly contributed to the success of these stalwarts, there are likely to be additional factors unique to each organization dictated by vagaries of each industry and do or die decisions faced by key executives in these organizations. It would also seem logical to conclude these companies have grown "smartly" be it weathering financial downturns or evolving in spite of adversity in contrast to their erstwhile competitors.
