"Porter's Five Forces Model" is no different at the MBA level than the BA level. And it doesn't matter if it's a "BA" or and "MBA" in business, it's all the same BS. Not the 4 to 6 years of your youth and 2,000 pages of over-priced, incredibly diluted textbooks they suck out of your veins.
This isn't to say that there isn't value in learning about employment law in HR, or learning some statistical analysis in marketing, but all of these subfields can be summarized in a week long seminar and a pamphlet about 50 pages thick. The rest of them, be they marketing, HR, "general business management" or whatever other popcockery b-schools are whipping up and charging you $400 a credit for are bogus. The only "real" sub fields you will find in business schools are Accounting and MIS/IT as they require 2-4 years of study to get some level of mastery of these subjects. It is no more complicated than sitting down, thinking things through, and coming up with a logical or obvious answer. So let's explain why your MBA is worthless, why you should not pursue one if you're contemplating it today, and perhaps we can save some families from divorce, shipping your kids off to daycare, a ruined financial future, not to mention the simple mundacity that comes with studying worthless subjects.
But for the remaining 95% of you who swallowed whole "you need an MBA" and lined up at BFE U's "MBA night time program" you bought into a bubble. And if you had a real degree (read "STEM") underpinning your MBA AND your employer paid for it, I cannot argue that your MBA may have provided a positive ROI. Now I know, I know, for many of you far into your gray hair years you may claim an MBA has opened doors for you and was totally worth the 2 years of your time and the $4.37 you paid for it back in 1986. Not if you went to Harvard, Wharton, Chicago, or some other top notch school where the true asset of your education was the network you gained (and not the MBA itself), but if you were one of the millions of sheeple who went to "ABC U" to get your MBA, you my good sir or madame, have a worthless degree. Sad news for aspiring careerists, loyal corporate men, and aspiring ladder climbers:
