Why would a privately owned business need to be democratic? What is the advantage of giving all employees an equal say regardless if theor skills and understanding of the business from a business perspective rather than a moral one? I cannot see any reason to give the guy who is not permitted access to all the secrets and finances equal say with the folks that have this access.

Have you ever owned, managed, or run a business before?

It isn't a matter of need, but of consistency in one's values. In which case, why would the moral grounds be insufficient?
