Considerations at the heart of the profession of entrepreneur considerations at the heart of the profession of entrepreneur had the motto of the Buddenbrook family is Thomas Mann in his great-grandfather, the entrepreneur Johann Siegmund Mann, lent: “My son, be with pleasure at the shops on the day, but only do that we can sleep at night peacefully”. The old Johann Buddenbrook is his son, also John with name and business owners of his character, this ingenious advice on the commercial road. The Buddenbrooks, is as much known to sleep after the death of John of the younger awhile well. But then Thomas Mann leaves the family and company Buddenbrook faster and faster into the abyss to overthrow the artistic thorn in the entrepreneurial side.
