SHU UEMURA

摘要

Shu Uemura is not — and never has been — your typical businessman. True, over 33 years he has pioneered a small cosmetics business into a large, unique, global enterprise, with 97 stores in Japan and 76 overseas that generate some $140 million in sales annually. It is also true that Uemura relies heavily on science — and nature — for the development of his products, especially those designed to help prevent aging. And, like many chief executives, he devotes considerable time — and money — to pushing his company's research labs to find new ways of enhancing feminine beauty.
