Graham Stewart and guests discuss investing in America and how to give employees a sense of ownership in a company. In the studio are David Carrick, chief executive of Memex, which provides intelligence and information management solutions to the law enforcement, government agencies and private industry; and Dougal Sharp, managing director of the specialist brewer Innes & Gunn. Aaron Brickman, director of Invest in America, tells our business editor Douglas Fraser about the country's efforts to attract overseas investors. And Gillian Marles visits engineering company Clansman Dynamics in East Kilbride, which three years ago was sold-off to its 30-strong workforce. Are employee-owned companies more productive?
