Mercedes are just as guilty there are plenty of stories on the internet about relatively young cars killed by no parts

Perhaps more the MBA / "Economics" graduates, because we certainly need better managers in so many services and industries, but so many industries that rely on "selling" appear to just focus on the immediate return without consideration of long term outcomes such as the environment or even the consumer.

When evaluating a business I always raise a red risk flag when a business has MBA people in the wrong positions. An MBA is useful for the right person in the right place

Too often they are people with no real business experience which is where they fall down. This goes for far too many consultants as well. If they cannot demonstrate real hands on experience they are a red flag

Their problem is they tend to fall into the process is king trap. This then feeds into a 2 tier corporate structure emerging in the business where you have the doers and management.

There is a gulf between with no one moving up from doer to management. The disconnect results in short term objectives with no consideration for longer term business objectives

As a result the MBA sees each role as a short term stepping stone to the next promotion and does not care or understand about the trail of problems that follow them. With the right support and guard rails around them an MBA can though add a lot of value

You just described the Public Service to a Tee !
