It’s not likely to change unless the Harvard MBA management culture is somehow rooted out.

Seen it. MBAs are killing us.

Started with McNamara’s Harvard MBAs and the military.

Unless someone remembers farther back.

Goes way back.

Here’s Cadillac in the 1930’s:

“Once he was head of Cadillac, Dreystadt turned the division’s attention to production efficiency, where he saw much room for improvement. He believed that the parts and the production process for Cadillac did not need to be far more expensive than for other GM divisions.

His approach paid off. By the late 1930s, Cadillac had drastically lowered per-unit production costs, while of course still commanding luxury prices, therefore raising profitability. “

Also, note the Woke moves by this guy.
