I have a page that gives information on a company which I could add to a category called "business". In addition, I would like to be able to have the owner's name show up under a category called "people", but I may or may not want to create a page for the owner of all companies.
Is there a way to format the {{category:people}} line so that it will display the owner's name when you go to the category page, but the link will actually go to the company page?
For example, if I had a page for a company owned by James Smith called Smith, Smith, and Jones and I try something like {{category:people|Smith, James}} the actual display on the people page would read "Smith, Smith, and Jones" instead of the desired "Smith, James"

mmm... I think you must adopt a different approach... the category page is used to list the wiki pages (i.e. article, belongin to the specified category (i.e. people category page list all the pages classified with people category).
What you need seems a little bit different: listing all the person present in your wiki, because they have an article classified as person and because they are a company owner.
IMHO this can make in 2 ways: working only with person category (but each person needs to have a page) or use DPL to create a list of person (in this case the selection criteria could be based on category person for person article and a template for company article)...
Usign DPL then you can list the name and, if the name come from a company article, you can link directly to the company instead of a person article...

I'm confused. What is DPL?
