In Business Public or Private?

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Going public is one of the great temptations for any company, and they're queueing up to do it at the moment. Stock market investors get a chance to buy the shares, and the company's owners suddenly become seriously rich. But is going public really such a good idea? And why have some big companies turned tail, and retreated back into private ownership? Peter Day investigates in the last programme of the series. Producer Melanie Fanstone
