I'm not sure they're doing good stats...
A better first question is, "What % of advanced degree engineers become founders?" and "What % of MBAs become founders?"
From there you can go on to questions of size and success.
As listed, the answer tells us nothing. For all we know there are 30x as many engineers as MBAs. Or vice versa. The conclusion could be the same as stated too.
- Synthetase 15y agoI compiled the statistics for this whitepaper. We do not attempt to quantify success or company size. We aware that our data set is biased toward smaller companies, namely start-ups. We simply examined CEOs at a certain time period and their degree composition.
- mathattack 15y agoBefore complaining about success and size, it is important to know what % of college grads have each of these majors. Without knowing this, the conclusion of "Engineers with advanced degrees are more likely to become CEOs than MBAs" is suspect.
