I think there's another equally harmful myth gaining a stronghold among non-MBAs: that all MBAs are obviously stupid and good-for-nothing dopeheads.
It's simply not true. One of the few successful tech people I've seen admitting that their MBA helped them is Mark Pincus of Zynga. He said he wished he had paid more attention in his MBA class because he's had to learn those lessons the hard way.
- _delirium 16y agoI don't think Pincus is an example of a tech person who respects MBAs; he's a business person who's been involved in technology management. As far as I know he's never had a technical background or job--- before he went into tech enterpreneurship on the business side, he was a financial analyst.
