The MBA concept itself is a silly concept: to be educated as a manager; a manager of what? One particular silly concept that they are taught is that the company is either growing or dead. So they expect the profits to increase by 10 to 20 percent each year. This is a total fantasy and can only be achieved (temporarily) by robbing the worker. Perhaps the biggest flaw with the MBA is their short-sightedness.
