I think the biggest difference between an engineer/scientist and someone with an MBA is primary focus. I (being a scientist myself) feel like MBAs often try to make a product cheaper where as I am trying to make it better. We both add value, but we do it in different ways. If there is one thing that bothers me about folks who work on the business side, it's this. MBAs need to understand that a larger profit margin (while diminishing a dimension of the product) does not necessarily equate to success.
