Yes. Though I would hesitate to endorse a particular degree of "added value" from an ivy-league branded MBA. Do a simple cost-benefit analysis. It occurred to me, during graduate studies for my MBA (at a lovely state University, thank you very much), how various disciplines have their different lingo. Perhaps the most valuable thing I got from the program was instilled by osmosis -- the lingo associated with a variety of disciplines, industries, etc. If anything, an MBA teaches you the lingo of lingos; that is, it doesn't so much teach how to be a "generalist" (as was stated earlier), but more about how to be a "relativist". There are interesting problems to be solved in a variety of industries, and knowing both l33t and business speak puts you in a much better position for dealing with a variety of different people.
