From its inception period, Mitsui Bussan (MB) actively recruited graduates of Shoho Koshujo (a business school, Hitotsubashi University) and other schools, and the posts of chiefs at overseas MB branches were occupied by the graduates around the 1890s. In fact, MB had already established branches in Shanghai, Hong-Kong, Paris, New York, London, Lyon, and Milan between 1877 and 1880. This paper aims to clarify who had taken charge of each branch and what career they had had before those posts were occupied by the graduates of such higher educational institutions as Shoho Koshujo.MB established the above seven offices mainly at the request of the Japanese government, which encouraged trade through Japanese trading merchants rather than through foreign trading houses. While the higher educational system was being established in Japan, MB struggled due to the shortage of Japanese staff who were able to cope with work in overseas offices. MB, however, did not entrust its overseas work to local merchants at its overseas branches. Instead, MB sought out capable Japanese nationals who had gone abroad to study, worked as overseas consular officials, or worked at international exhibitions as civil servants or private citizens. MB dispatched them to overseas branches as chief, and the graduates of the higher schools worked under them. Until those graduates were trained and promoted as branch chief, the staff recruited overseas played a temporary, yet important role in establishing the MB's overseas offices.

明治9年に設立された三井物産は、先収会社と三井組国産方という2つの源流が合流して成り立つものであった。本稿は、その源流の1つである先収会社および草創期三井物産には、どのような人材が勤務していたのかを明らかにしたものである。本稿では、先収会社には従来想定されていたよりも多くの人員が勤務していたこと、また先収会社時代から慶応義塾出身者が何人か雇用されていたことを示した。義塾で近代的な西洋式簿記や外国語の知識を身につけた彼らは、貿易商社たる三井物産の基礎を構築するのに貢献したと考えられるのである。論説(Article)
