    That’s true that shareholders and stock evaluation are main drivers for this phenomenon, but Private Companies aren’t necessarily more saintly than companies with Public Offerings.

      True, but in my experience, selling stock publicly is the ticket to hell. No matter how much of your company you think you still own, you’re going to be driven to make higher profits every quarter, no matter the cost. If you don’t comply, they will replace you with someone who will.
