I have had a talk with a friend of mine about this. The current system doesn't allow a Company to be around very long if it doesn't show any growth.

This is kind of sad. I think this is where most company will start making shady decisions to improve growth.

Is this true though? Most big companies (that have been around for very long) start giving out dividends to their shareholders. This becomes a nice but relatively safe source of income that many people prefer over risky companies - that will either skyrocket or crash-n-burn.
