Value of an MBA

Results of a survey from the Environics Research Group commissioned by Queen's School of Business found:

Eight in 10 (78 per cent) executives say they would choose a candidate with an MBA over one without an MBA if other factors were equal. Fourteen per cent say the degree would make no difference. Six per cent say having an MBA makes a candidate less appealing.

Almost 80% say that an MBA is more appealing in candidates! Among the reasons for choosing a candidate with an MBA are a superior skill set, a greater familiarity and more exposure to a variety of business disciplines, they are more qualified and more committed to their career.

That soooo sounds like a question from the GMAT.
