Klaus-Michael Kühne is remembered in business for decisions whose consequences outlived the decade that made them.
The record lists Klaus-Michael Kühne as German businessman.
Klaus-Michael Kühne was born at Hamburg in 1937. His recorded nationality is Germany. He was educated at Heinrich-Hertz-Schule.
Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.
He worked as entrepreneur, financier and consignor.
His recorded holdings include HSV Fußball AG.
What a company leaves behind is usually infrastructure, habit and employment rather than a name.
Recognition followed: honorary doctorate (2008).
