2. The Strategic Managers At the strategic management level when one is dealing with customers, companies, business models and has business and marketing responsibilities an M.B.A qualification is a must and will make a difference. An M.B.A adds layers of dimension on how you look at a problem from the finance and marketing angles, which a sole engineering education cannot give. Techies realized that when they look at a problem with a technical background only they could see things only on a single vector.

The M.B.A helps you picture solutions to customers problems from the marketing, finance, operational, and legal aspects. Apart from the two hardcore realities, there are other few simple things that make a difference when having a MBA.
