Who do you think has done this well ? It does seem after a certain size most companies succumb to this.

Apple. Of course they're not as nimble as a startup and they release a dog now and then, but by and large they continue to innovate at a remarkable pace for their size and age.

Apple was dying and it was only saved because Bill Gates could not afford for Microsoft to become a monopoly so he put the money. Apple lives out of it's duopoly with Google on mobile phones. Or is Apple TV so successful?

Apple may not be a bad company but it has survived out of pure luck.

Apple survived out of pure luck that one time. It's executed really well since then, though.

Apple and Microsoft? 3M too. Nokia used to invent itself multiple times too, but I guess not any more.
