the problem with corporate America: ‘Too many MBAs’

Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk says the biggest problem with corporate America today is that too many business school graduates are running the show.

“I think that there might be too many MBAs running companies,” Musk said Tuesday at the WSJ CEO Summit.

 

This “MBA-ization of America,” isn’t great, Musk said, especially when it comes to product innovation. Big corporate CEOs often get caught up in the numbers and lose sight of their mission, which is to create “awesome” products or services, according to Musk.
