God of Management (Japan)

Inspired by the timeless tales shared by Dr (Mrs) Amita Chauhan, Chairperson, Amity Group of Schools & RBEF,
GT presents part 2 of a vibrant comic strip series, crafted by Malhar S Barik, AIS Noida, XII I

This is the story of Kōnosuke Matsushita, founder of Panasonic and Japan’s “God of Management,” who began as an apprentice and designed a unique light socket ignored by his boss. Undeterred, he built and sold it from home, later expanding into electrical products and founding Panasonic in 1918. Even during the Great Depression and WWII, he refused to lay off workers, urging them to sell more instead. His legacy blends innovation, resilience, and compassionate leadership.
