MBA: is it worth getting one?

IMO, you don't need it if you're eventually going into business. What you need is experience and connection plus of course capital.

I feel MBA are only important for corporate world.

Yun kinapatid ko nag MBA sa AIM before punta punta pa Japan for thesis yata or Europe yata.

Eh di ganun din Ang bagsak sa family business pa rin nila.

there has to be other factors why a business fails... its not just because of the MBA, imho.
pero kung lahat ng hawakang negosyo ay bumabagsak, its not about the other factors, but the people/person handling the business.

Having worked for 3 large business conglomerates, I've observed that:

1. The OWNERS themselves do not have MBAs but have successfully built their businesses into a billion-peso enterprise.

2. The people they hire with MBAs are mostly those who they thrust into Finance or Business Development roles. Or, those who prepare reports for P&L and those who conceptualize what project to do next.

3. It's still those employees or their people who have the ability to think out-of-box who are put in higher positions and have greater responsibility and these guys, more often than not, do not possess an MBA.
