There's a lot of people saying that MBAs are a sign of the top. Others are saying all MBAs are evil. I think it's more nuanced. (Full disclosure, I'm a CS undergrad with an MBA) Some generalizations.... 1 - MBAs tend to be risk averse. 2 - MBA career choices tend to be driven by who shows up to recruit at their campuses. 3 - MBAs tend to be value capturers and maximizers rather than value creators. 4 - MBAs tend to have debt load and follow who pays cash. (This ties with #1) Does this mean they are all evil? No. But you get what you pay for. A fancy MBA won't create the next great thing, but could help the current great thing be a little more predictable in hitting earnings. For what it's worth, Amazon seems to like quantitative MBAs. Google seems to like them with CS undergrads. Apple doesn't seem to care for them too much. Does that make any a black and white model?
