Intel got MBA'ed just like most American companies. Will be interesting if/when it will happen to Apple.

  Intel’s woes were caused by poor engineering decisions. Apple has been run by MBAs for 10 years and is more successful than ever.

    No, Apple's top leadership are all operations people or engineers, plus general counsel. The fact that some spent 2 years at an mba school doesn't make them forget their 4 years of industrial engineering/operations/supply chain undergrad. Way different from most people who get MBAs.

      42% of the most recent HBS class have science or engineering undergraduate degrees https://www.hbs.edu/mba/admissions/class-profile/Pages/default.aspx https://www.hbs.edu/mba/admissions/class-profile/Pages/defau...

        If HBS only manages 42% I imagine it's even less elsewhere. And that number includes life sciences, etc., that is way different.
