The average large corporation is typically in a stable/stagnant industry that is nowhere near as competitive as chips, where the stakes are 100x higher.
They get by being the largest kid on the block and few young companies chomping at the bit, and a series of B/C-tier competitors even dumber and poorly run that they can't even do the next quarter effectively.
Countless mega-corps are just floating by with the ebbs and flows of a market, burning off some early moment of success. Staying at the top longer than a decade or two (usually the timeframe where other market entrants take notice of your weakness) is the real test.
Otherwise just being a decent manager/leader that keeps the existing established business model chugging along and hiring slightly above average executives to put out fires is good enough.
