In my anecdotal experience (albeit typically in larger corporate environments), many of those possessing or actively pursuing MBA's are or present themselves as fairly sincere. Nonetheless, they often simply have a perspective and approach that is not very useful for the problems at hand. Or they go about solving the wrong problems. Things get all (re)organized for a year or two, and perhaps the activity looks progressive. Perhaps it somewhat masks underlying circumstances. But... moving dollars and org around does not, of itself, motivate nor solve production problems. And a lot of those same people seem to embrace typical "HR best practices" in a rather claustrophobia-inducing fashion. Mine is just a rather narrowly informed anecdotal experience. But many of the MBA types around me have not/hardly inspired me.
