Here's my two cents. What will happen if you give two kids straight out of university a shot at being a manager? One guy has a business degree and the other has a CS degree. I believe both kids will have an equal chance of being great or being really bad regardless of the degree. Although, The CS guy might have a slight edge because he understands what's going on at the technological level. On the other hand if you decide to give both kids a shot at being a programmer, the kid with a CS degree has a astronomically higher chance of becoming successful. Programming is a skill that is acquired time and training. Where management comes from is more ambiguous. Both skills are mutually exclusive; you can be good at both, bad at both or only good at one.
