MBA myself, and I can happily contrast the hate here with how much ridicule of engineers there was from business professors when I was in college. I just knock off a few points of my perception of the speaker's competence either way.
- andrewnicolalde 6y agoWhat kinds of anecdotes did your business professors offer?
- ojbyrne 6y agoMostly along the lines of engineering-centric companies that went out of business (or stayed small/struggled) because they didn’t think about marketing.
- ericmay 6y agoMy undergraduate was in engineering and it’s fun to look back because we used to do that with business and sales. For a student org we once sold shirts that said “friends don’t let friends become business majors”... which was fun and in jest of course. I didn’t experience a lot of what you described in my MBA program as an engineer, though. Usually it was the opposite, but I think that comes with the maturity of the program I was in where you knew that not only was engineering important and valuable, but so were sales, accounting, nursing, and all sorts of other disciplines.
