Wolfgang Porsche

German-Austrian businessman

In the history of enterprise, Wolfgang Porsche is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Wolfgang Porsche as German-Austrian businessman.

Wolfgang Porsche was born at Stuttgart in 1943. His recorded nationality is Germany. He was educated at Vienna University of Economics and Business.

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

He worked as business executive, businessperson and entrepreneur.

Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.

Recognition followed: Great Golden Medal of Honour for Services to the Republic of Austria, Staufer Medal, Knight 1st Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit and Order of Honour (Salzburg).

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