This bunch of Nonsense
by P V Rao on Apr 22, 2005 10:56 PM   Permalink

This article says only people with MBAs make good CEOs, what nonsense. If you look at the CEOs ( I mean good ones ) in India today not one has an MBA ( and thank God for that ) The ones that have from Wharton and Stanford?? ( Ambani brothers) have no clue what they are doing. Their Daddy had no MBA, but he had common sense. For that matter take a look at some of the best companies in the USA, Microsoft, Apple, ExxonMobil, Walmart etc., have CEOs with NO MBAs. The most valuable company in the world today, ExxonMobil, always elects a PhD as their CEO. So the theory that to be a CEO you have to have MBA, is bunch of nonsense. Infact I will even go to the extent of saying to Kids thinking of going to Business school, please save your money. Join a school that will teach you some skill. Learn to create something with your hands and brains. I would even hire an electrician as opposed to a MBA??
