Still amazed that a company like Nintendo survived over 100 years of dramatic cultural and economic change in Japan and remains as relevant and innovative as ever. How is a company culture for creativity sustained like that for so long? Most corporations seem to go stale especially after the founders die off or fade out.
- tenebrisalietum 6y agoWikipedia article for "List of oldest companies" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_companies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_companies - Japan has the oldest one still technically operating (which is Kongō Gumi). The good thing about this is that this shows that it's not impossible for Nintendo to be around 1000 years later.

- jkinudsjknds 6y agoNintendo prospered after their head guy went to america to meet with their head of playing cards and found out it was some shitty back office, panicked, and tried to pivot rapidly. They tried, among many ideas, love hotels. Luckily some guy made this zany grabby arm that turned out to be a popular kids toy and the day was saved. Then they started making video games. The wikipedia is fairly entertaining.
