The view from the top of business. 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 em...erging companies. The programme is broadcast first on BBC Radio 4 and later on BBC World Service Radio, BBC World News TV and BBC News Channel TV. With plenty to worry about in the world economy, Evan asks his panel of influential business leaders whether now is a good time for companies to sit tight and play it safe, or to take a risk or two.
