Rizaburō Toyoda

Japanese entrepreneur

Rizaburō Toyoda is remembered in business for decisions whose consequences outlived the decade that made them.

The record lists Rizaburō Toyoda as Japanese entrepreneur.

Rizaburō Toyoda was born at Hikone in 1884. His recorded nationality is Japan. He was educated at Hitotsubashi University and Kobe University.

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 entrepreneur and industrialist.

What a company leaves behind is usually infrastructure, habit and employment rather than a name.

Recognition followed: Order of the Sacred Treasure, 4th class.

That the business was built from Japan shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.

Rizaburō Toyoda died in 1952, aged 68. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
