MBA school teaches you the skills you need to run a company. But just as a programming class will not have you developing your own OS overnight, the MBA will not make you the head cheese in a company. Having a MBA makes it easier to talk to Accountants, auditors and general managers. If you do a LOT of business work it helps to know the mental models they use. If you want to supertechie, go another route.
