Family management of mitsui products

Mitsui consortium is actually a new type of family business, which no longer depends on the blood relationship of natural persons to define family members, but forms a new fate with the capital relationship between legal entities. The lifelong employment system, seniority system and trade unions in Mitsui consortium enterprises have played an indelible role in maintaining the consortium system. From another perspective, Mitsui Consortium is actually a group of people who are long-term stable, engaged in specialized division of labor and cooperation, closely dependent on each other and have the same cultural concept.

In this new modern family enterprise group (consortium), the host bank (or financial group) plays the role of father, which usually determines the blood relationship and surname attribution of family members and is a stable source of income for family members. The comprehensive trading company naturally played the role of mother. She is responsible for giving birth to children (in many manufacturing industries), taking care of the daily life of family members, exerting influence on children's education and growth, planning children to go out to study and develop (get information) when they grow up, and even choosing objects and arranging marriages for children (establishing joint ventures).

In a traditional family, whether the children can grow up healthily and whether the husband has a successful career depends more on whether a good wife and mother have devoted selfless care and care to this family member. It is through the comprehensive trading company Mitsui Co., Ltd. that Mitsui Co., Ltd. assumes the obligations of wife and mother and maintains the harmony and development of the whole family. When brothers and sisters (mature industries) have enough financial resources and savings, they will invest the money in their parents' newly cultivated brothers and sisters (emerging industries), or deposit the extra money in their parents' coffers for the whole family to co-ordinate.

The contemporary Mitsui consortium enterprise is no longer a private family enterprise in the traditional sense, but has become a real social enterprise through the transformation of the modern enterprise system. It is called a state-owned enterprise by the people and a national enterprise by the Japanese. Although the external form of Mitsui Consortium has changed, its traditional family culture has been continued. Mitsui Guli (1622- 1694), the founder of Mitsui Consortium, sorted out his father's articles before his death, summed up his life's management methods, and completed Mitsui House Rules, which has been kept in Tokyo University and has become an important historical material for Japanese enterprise management.
