There is a case study, on CEO with or w/o an MBA, and there was no correlation into the company performance, there was a positive correlation with better compensation.
We’ll post the link when I find it.
Edit: just use google scholar, there are a load of studies. Scanning through the titles quickly shows that a many people are wondering what is the value of the MBA. It does make the schools a lot of money.
- dangus 7y agoWell, isn't that just like evaluating the difference between whether or not you're a self-taught programmer? If you already have business skills, either from an undergraduate business degree, experience, or self-teaching, you don't need a non-specialized MBA. If you look at the actual MBA curriculum it has courses that seem to be quite obviously useful if you ask me. The only problem here is that there are some places that won't let you take a management role without a masters degree or MBA, instead of evaluating your actual level of skill, creating a surplus of MBA demand. (And there are bad engineering schools just like there are bad MBA schools).

Notice what the OP said about how having a MBA did not correlate with company performance, however it DID correlate with increased compensation. Basically, if you want to get paid extremely well, you need the MBA, even if it has nothing to do with how the company performs.
