I've noticed that a lot of people whose only professional experience is "business" tend to view everything as if it's just numbers on a spreadsheet.
Example:
Refusing to purchase spare components because "everything is working", and instead planning on just purchasing a replacement if a failure occurs.
Then, the failure occurs, and their entire communication network supporting thousands of customers goes down. They try to order a replacement and...oopsie whoopsie, it's *long* past end-of-life and there are literally no more to purchase. They'll have to buy a newer model, which isn't compatible with the old software. The new software isn't compatible with the ancient hardware at the remote sites...so *that* will have to be upgraded as well.
The end result was an unscheduled month-long outage that necessitated sending very niche technicians to dozens of remote (as in: jungles and mountains) locations to upgrade equipment.
They were warned about this exact scenario, and opted to save a relatively small amount of money *now* with the assumption that--by shuffling numbers on a spreadsheet--any future problem could be immediately fixed.

And that's typically the problem I've seen with folks whose only experience is a business degree: they think that nine women can work together to give birth in one month.
There's nothing here!
