More DescriptionJapanese family businesses are among the oldest in the world and many of them prove a history record of 200 years and more. Research on several case studies of century old firms in Japan reveal three factors as secrets of their longevity: (1) the Japanese family system favorizing the succession of the eldest son in the headship of family and business, (2) the option to adopt a member of a branch family, a daughter's husband, or a capable manager into the main family in case of necessity, and (3) the inclusion of the relationship with employees, customers, and members of the local community into the development of a strategy to longevity.
