Do CEOs with MBA make better CEOs?

From Bloomberg Businessweek?

Does an MBA degree make better CEOs?

What do you think?

From the AFG study and Chief Executive, there is a naughty and nice list.  At the top of the list, there are CEOs who contributed to higher shareholder value and there at the bottom of the list, the naughty, CEOs with MBA who were destroyers of stockholder value.

A study by INSEAD professors in 2010 of 1,100 CEOs suggested that there is a correlation between stockholder value growth and MBA.  Another study of the same year suggests that there is no relationship.

Why are you taking MBA?

Do you want to create greater value for shareholder?

Can you hold your own with those who did not take MBA?
