Takashi Kawamura

Japanese Businessman

Takashi Kawamura is remembered in business for decisions whose consequences outlived the decade that made them.

The record lists Takashi Kawamura as Japanese Businessman.

Takashi Kawamura was born at Hakodate in 1939. His recorded nationality is Japan. He was educated at University of Tokyo and Hokkaido Sapporo Nishi High School.

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

He worked as entrepreneur and engineer.

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

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