In my experience, people with MBA's think that they should
get a whole lot more money and prestige because of this
extra certification. Yet, in every case I have ever seen,
the extra benefit is minimal unless the person is in a
senior management position where they are actually doing
"business administration". There aren't actually very many
positions that call for this skill set. So, to try to
continue attracting students to MBA schools, there has been
a trend in the last 5-10 years to convince tech people to
get MBA's. I have never seen a legitimate application for
this certification within the tech field. The closest fit
I can think of is for a "business analyst", although one
rarely sees MBA's in such positions because it's usually a
low-level position.
If I wanted somebody with the ability to synthesize and
summarize large amounts of intangible information, I'd
rather have somebody like an art history major. If I wanted
somebody with serious people management skills, I'd rather
have a former army officer. If I wanted somebody who knows
how to balance the books, I'd hire a CPA. If I wanted
somebody with specific technical skills, I'd look for evidence
of those skills on their resume. But I can't for the life of
me think of what good an MBA would be in any organization I've
ever worked for.
Besides, I have a personal grudge about anything called a
"Masters degree" that doesn't include serious research.
After all, what research is there to do, besides reading a
few books on different management models? Does any MBA
program anywhere in the world conduct practical research
into the validity and applicability of these models? Would
they even know how to carry out such a study? I don't think
so, and if they do, it's not part of the curriculum. In fact,
an MBA is never much more than a non-technical diploma program.
I worked very hard for my MSc and PhD, and I consider the
MBA an insult to the letter M.
