Successful MBA+Science PhD example?

MBA+Science PhD, this combination is always considered a risky and bad investment by many people. Again, from business school side, this is becoming a new trend as well.

I have heard thousands of times that getting a MBA immediatelly after Ph.D in science(whether you had working experience prior to Ph.D or not) is such a bad diea that few people could land a science/management job they had imagined before.

Normally, only either the h.D or the MBA is acknowledged by the employer.

Even worse, they could end up in a situation that they are considered neither specialized in science(because they left science for business school) nor experienced in business (lacking of enough scientific management experience).  That's why MBA is only valueable to science Ph.D who is having a job or had years' management experience.

My question here for your fellow CDers, especially those current MBA students : Have you heard or known any full-time MBA with a science PhD background example? How do they after MBA?

Last semester I had a class with management major PHD students. The professor of this class got his MBA from Stanford in the 1970s and a EE HD from a second tier school in the 1980s. He is a tenured professor and has a consulting company. I am not sure whether he fits your standards of successful MBA + Science PHD example.

Definitely he is a successful Ph.D + MBA.

And quite interestingly, he got his EE Ph.D after his MBA. That says one's life could be quite diverse. Again, Ph.D at 80s  was hot, not like nowadays.

Still, my focus here is to survey the people who had h.D in science and entered MBA for career development immediatelly after their Ph.Ds. What happened to them after their MBAs.
