Opportunity costs is something they are taught about in school but somehow seem to always forget about. I think it is more a question about incentives for the roles MBAs are usually hired into. Either that or the lack of knowledge of the actual product makes them too detached.

Who would even hire an MBA to improve such difficult to measurre things?

Maybe it will make a significant enough cumulative impact 5 years later that it can actuallly be noticed and defended in a meeting against other priorities.

But I’ve never heard of anyone hiring someone on minimum wage and deferring a huge bonus to 5 years later.

Even if it does makes a big impact, would anyone even take a such a job?
