    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.
