Konosuke Matsushita (18941989) was born a landlord's son in the farming village of Wasa, Japan. In his early childhood, his family fell into poverty, pushing young Matsushita into the way of the merchant at age nine. He started his career as a brazier's apprentice, then as an employee at the Osaka Electric Light Company. At age 23, he set up the Matsushita Electric Appliance Factory with little money, little help, and a strong belief that his first invention -- a two-socket light fixture -- would work. This small firm grew quickly. By the late 1980s, Matsushita's company had nearly 20,000 employees on its payroll and had produced such household brands as National, Panasonic, and Technics. Today, it is the electronics empire known as Panasonic Corporation.
