For once I find Ben's arguments unnecessarily misleading. It's pretty clear to me that MBAs are best suited for mid to large corporations. They have already proven that they like to follow conventional wisdom. They have extensive knowledge in many ways a normal business operates.

Early startup life? Not their forte. Improvising, moving quickly, taking high risks with no data?

Ben's argument that large tech companies of the time were run by MBAs doesn't prove anything. They are large companies!
