Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.

Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.
Recognition followed: Officer's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany (2000) and German startup prize (2003).
That the business was built from Germany shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
