The MBA seems very much geared towards creating the middle management layers that bloat many organizations. A class of people too low down to really influence change but too high up to actually do anything. Many companies are slashing such positions and that's only a good thing in my opinion. Be really go at "doing" stuff (as in owning and delivering output) and then as one advances they become able to inspire others to do stuff too and inflict positive change in a company. That's what makes a good manager, not an MBA. Also in my observation the people going for MBAs largely wanted to tick the "advanced degree" box but weren't in a position to get an advanced degree in a 'real' subject. That's what led to the mass proliferation of programs that has really significantly devalued the MBA overall.
