Should shareholders get less?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Should shareholders get a smaller share of company profits, to make capitalism fairer? Lesley Curwen talks to Roger Martin, Dean of the Rotman School of Management at Toronto University. He suggests a small revolution - that managers should no longer be expected to 'maximise' returns for shareholders. Plus, how has the eurozone crisis affected investment in Africa? Runa Alam is co- founder and CEO of the Development Partners International Fund which advises investors where to put their money in Africa. She argues that many African economies are still thriving and flows of private equity money are unaffected. And Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times unleashes her feelings about Powerpoint - is it a slide into audience paralysis?
