No, it's not necessary. It's exactly why things like Intel's current situation happen. You get some douche with an economics background in charge that spends a decade optimizing for profit, and when you realize the company is fucked because everybody else is suddenly ahead of you, you just move on an sell your time there as a success, while the next guy tries to fix it. Which obviously means it will get pretty bad for a while, but that's ok, because when shareholders are fed up with it after a few years, you put one of those douches in charge again that can take credit for the eventual success of the previous guy's work.
