The view from the top of business. Presented this week by Stephanie Flanders, The Bottom Line cuts through confusion, statistics and spin to present a clearer view of the business world, through discussion with people running leading and emerging companies.

They also talk about their employees - many chief executives will say their workers are the company's "most valuable asset", but is it really true?
