It seems to me that what you say could be reformulated, with minimal change in what's learned, as "Get thee an MBA from a good school."
The overlap between the skills necessary to run an existing business with a known business model and to found one, even where the business model is known is not high. It might be as high as 50% for those cases where the model is known, but really, that's not high.
I assume the MBA's weak relation to functioning without supervision, i.e. being an executive, is obvious.
Did I miss or misintrepret what you said?
There may be schools in the world somewhere where the MBA study actually teaches you something useful, in my country there are none.
To run a business you don't need any of the above things, a training in middle management is enough.
The things i mentioned are specifically for organizing a company for the first time, or reorganizing an existing one. That's what i use these skills for (and with high success)
