Seems like a lot of MBAs don't think that individuals matter (except of course for the senior executives). They view people as commodities ("resources"). Hence the outsourcing for cheap labor movement.
But hell yes, individuals matter. I've seen bad decisions by one fairly low level person completely F up projects. And great decisions lead to great products..... Bad coding can lead to days/months/years wasted, great coding to man-years saved.
