4>Identify the gentleman:

Edwards Deming, of Total Quality Management fame, credited with making Japan a manufacturing powerhouse. Also the Deming Award named after him has been won by a couple of Indian companies - TVS and Mahindra.

5>Identify the gentleman who I am absolutely certain is Vijay Mallya's role model:
Lars Olsson Smith, was a Swedish spirits manufacturer and politician. He was called "The King of Spirits" because of his domination of the of spirits production in Stockholm during the end of the 19th century. He started the production of Absolut Rent Brännvin which was later renamed Absolut Vodka.
On another note: Absolut has grown from producing 90k litres of vodka per year to 96 million litres per year in recent years.
