imho... having an MBA and apply the concepts would be good, otherwise, it would be a useless title. i've known people who have MBAs na hindi marunong magpatakbo ng negosyo, or hindi alam ang concepts ng negosyo..... so everything boils in the book.

Examples:

a. bilas ko... lahat ata ng pwedeng pagaralan, pinagaralan na nun... nagtayo ng school, nag mba, nag child psychology.... after two years, sarado na... again attempted to open a manpower agency... pero after 4 months, sinara na. what's wrong? the mindset and the lack of marketing skills.

b. negosyanteng kilalang kilala ko... graduate of a school in the US, pati MBA sa US.... nakaka limang negosyo na, lahat bumagsak.

compared with:

a. a president of an IT consulting firm.... graduate ng JRU, walang MBA..... thriving yung business nila.
b. a president of a large insurance company ... graduate ng UE, walang MBA... again, profitable yung business nila.

an MBA would give you an extra knowledge, but it does not define your success.

ako, i do not have an MBA, but two undergrad technical degrees and IT certifications.
i am at the helm of a company today, and it has been profitable for the last three years already. guts, skills and experience lang.
