Taipan (forretningsmann)

William Jardine

Taipan (kinesisk: 大班, pinyin: Dàbān) er et uttrykk fra kantonesisk som er gått inn i blant annet engelsk og som opprinnelig ble brukt for å betegne en ledende utenlandsk forretningsmann i Kina eller Hongkong på 1800-tallet og tidlig på 1900-tallet. Det kantonesiske[1] uttrykket benyttes nå generelt om ledende forretningsfolk uavhengig av nasjonalitet. Ordrett betyr det «toppklasse».[2]

Uttrykket ble alminnelig benyttet om ledende forretningsfolk i Hongkong mens byen var under britisk styre, og ble særlig benyttet som dem satt i ledelsen for de eldre handelskompaniene i byen, som for eksempel Jardine Matheson.

Det første funn av ordet i engelsk skrift er fra Canton Register av 28. oktober 1834.[3] Stavemåtene var gjerne litt annerledes, som taepan (eldste funn), typan og tai-pan.
