Private Equity - Changing The Face Of Finance

Global Business

Available for over a year

Second in a series of programmes on private equity, which is changing the face of finance. The programme speaks to the head of several private equity firms and looks at how taking large, often failing, companies into private ownership is reinvigorating how businesses are financed. However its short-term approach comes under question.
