同是亚洲国家、东方文化，日本有这么多的长寿企业，而中国，竟然没有一家百年企业，为什么？！
下面摘录网上的一些讨论
1. 多数这些企业是家族企业，经营传统或文化行业；
2. 企业的代际更替，通过儿子、女婿，或者日本特有、精选成年养子的传统，完成品牌的传承；
3. The living company 作者有这样一段话很有意思：“Companies die because their managers focus on the economic activity of producing goods and services, and they forget that their organizations' true nature is that of a community of humans.”
4. 在另外一篇文章一位MacAdvisor在读者评论中，提到了社会环境：
“ Another factor is Japanese business longevity, I suggest, might be the stability of the Japanese legal system and governments. While there have been shifts (the Kamakura period, 1185–1333; Muromachi Period, 1336–1573; Azuchi–Momoyama period, 1573–1603: Edo period, 1603–1868: and and the Modern Era that began shortly after Admiral Perry's arrival in 1854), Japan had only one major civil war, the the ?nin War that began in 1467. ”
技艺的臻熟完美，财富的平安积累，这些，都有赖于时间的积淀。
无疑，私有财产的法律保护，社会对企业家的宽容和尊重，对企业的生存至关重要。
企业家对人和社区的关注，营造了企业生存的良好生态环境。
