I can tell you that almost all the manegment at GE and Whirlpool have engineering degrees and MBA’s.

I would note that only about half of the upper management at my company seem to have MBA’s, mostly those in more financial roles and including the incoming president but not the outgoing president. If you do NOT have an MBA by the time you reach a certain level, they send you to some shorter-length executive training programs to teach you the essentials, but that is about it.
