Because I would expect people in democratic nations to value democracy and see it as worth exercising in business. This is in part as I see democracy as a formal way of referring to being open to discussion of opinions and ideas in organizing any group.

Why would you want to be part of any group that may reject open discussion of its organization?

The fact is not everyone has an informed perspective and in business there are very good reasons to not give the entire staff access to finances or company secrets.

As not all employees have the same information then not all employees are going to be able to see that larger picture and thus not giving the guy with 5% of access to the picture the same say as the guy with 95% doesn't make sense.

Because you can easily swap companies, but you can't easily swap countries.
