The PhD will give you skills that may allow you to innovate in a technologically interesting and profitable way. The MBA will give you the skills to take an innovation and hopefully make a profit from it. If you have the one you can hire someone else to do the other (in theory) or you can take them both and go it alone.

I would recommend starting with your first ambition. If you want to be a technological innovator, go for the PhD.
