I'm just a lowly engineer in a HUGE corporation, so I've always been skeptical and often frustrated with buzzword laden talk about proper decision making strategies and achieving optimum 'cinergy.'
The truth is though, that once a corporation gets to a certain size, the more stuff like this becomes vital. And the only way a hard working engineer is ever going to be able to get his voice heard (or interpret what he is told) is to understand the processes and procedures that upper management uses.
I would value a good manager with a technical background more than a good engineer with management background. I say leave the management to the managers, and make THEM learn the value of logic. That would leave the enigneers more free to USE that logic.
