In the history of enterprise, Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller as Danish shipping magnate (1913–2012).
Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller was born at Copenhagen in 1913. His recorded nationality is Denmark. He was educated at Øregård Gymnasium.
Around the turn of the twentieth century the corporation became the dominant economic form, along with the antitrust politics that followed it.
He worked as ship-owner, businessperson and entrepreneur.
Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.
Recognition followed: Knight Grand Officer of the Order of Saint Olav, Commander of the Order of the British Empire, Order of the Sacred Treasure and Grand Officer of the Order of the Falcon.
That the business was built from Denmark shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller died in 2012, aged 99. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
