IMHO, the MBA is one of the most useless qualifications ever issues, and
the Harvard Business School's MBA program one of the single most
significant factors in the decline of American industry.  They basically
pump out drooling imbeciles indoctrinated with the idea that you don't
have to know jack shit about your company, your business, your market,
or your customers, just so long as you know how to run some hypothetical
"abstract company" on paper, and who believe utterly that the heart and
soul of all financial management and business planning is that nothing
matters except the bottom line in *this quarter's* balance sheet.

The MBA program is a mechanism by which the tail of Wall Street wags the
dog of industry.
