It's not the West as a whole, it's a specific group of MBA-types which hijacked many institutions. We know where the problem is coming from. We have enough people who want to do stuff like building planes properly. The next step is to make domain knowledge mandatory for leadership roles.
- neverrroot 3y agoThose MBA types you’re talking about is what got Boeing to the problems it has now, and it took them quite a while to get there. The West path I’m talking about is much more recent, it’s gonna still take a while.
- cpursley 3y agoWe also have the same issue in politics and journalism: People with lightweight backgrounds making big decisions/observations/conclusions that actually require domain expertise.
- zephrx1111 3y agoExactly. In my work as a senior software engineer, half of my work is to write some “popular science” versions of documents to educate the leadership. I have to over simplify the system to fit into their needs. It seems to me they don’t have the patience to understand some real complexity of the system, or even don’t have the curiosity to. They looks more like business man too me, instead of their title as software engineer director.
- WeylandYutani 3y agoNo those MBAs are just servants. It is the shareholders. And it is not only Boeing that has this problem. Investors want the line to go up and everything else be damned. And humans are exceptionally bad at long term planning.
