Not at all what I was saying, but since you brought it up: MBA or not, I'd expect the outcome of someone with zero real-world experience being elevated to a position of making executive decisions would be universally shite.
Yes, it's entirely to do with HR processes, but nonetheless the reason MBA programs exist at all is because they offer students the outcomes that they do - outcomes that are entirely unwarranted based on any evidence that currently exists.

Where do you get the notion that MBAs have zero real world experience? That is factually incorrect.

MBAs are no longer prized by employers - The Economist There's a lot more links like that on Google, I'll leave it to the reader to find them. That said, I found this one interesting: Https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://amp.theguardian.com/education/2018/mar/19/why-the-mba-is-still-a-gamechanging-qualification&ved=2ahUKEwiDy5qC7J7lAhWUoFwKHTNdAHYQFjAKegQIBBAB&usg=AOvVaw2TzCAdTnN7jVNuG8tnV659&cf=1 https://amp.theguardian.com/education/2018/mar/19/why-the-mb... It's an article in the Guardian that, to give the tldr version, suggests that MBAs retain usefulness for getting jobs, but with no evidence of impact on capability.
