Ok fine :)
Go read “The HP Way” by Dave Packard. It was standard procedure for HP to hire promising engineers from Flyover State U and take the best and send them to Stanford for an MBA. This worked really, really well. Until it didn’t.
- conductr 4y agoThat was the intent of the MBA, as a supplement to some other core expertise so they could manage the business effectively. Then, MBA's became an entire profession. Many consulting firm MBA's go to business school twice before having any real world experience (undergrad then MBA). I did business school for undergrad and refuse to get an MBA for this reason, I seriously had MBA students sitting in the classes I took as an undergrad.
