While I largely agree, it is also true that running a business requires very different skills than building its product. MBA or not, technologist or not, you can still be good or bad at what you do. Smart or stupid. I think simply looking at a mismanaged tech company and saying “ah too many MBAs in charge” is missing the point. My guess is, if you look at the well-ran large companies, these will also have an MBA-rich management core. I worked at a mid-sized company completely driven by technological people, with no one having a solid business background. It wasn’t good.
