Democratically run businesses are companies with a lot of group autonomy, policies that are set by consensus of groups instead of through top-down hierarchical edicts, and there is a network of co-evaluation instead of just bosses being the sole evaluators. Notable examples of companies that operate on democratic principles are Semco and Gore Associates (the guys who make Gore-Tex)
When I pointed to the characteristic of democracy it was an ideal consideration. I am not so presumptuous to think that all ideal conditions will be met perfectly.

What does it mean for a job to be "democratically run"?
