Unfortunately not. If the premise of the original comment is true, the comment I replied to doesn't work because Immelt would have become an MBA before Welch's "MBA way" made it into the MBA system, thus he wouldn't come from that school of thought. As the links in the other comment show, Immelt obtained his MBA around the same time Welch was just starting his leadership at GE, whereas the original comment suggested that Welch invented the "MBA way" while leading GE, and that eventually made its way into MBA programs.

It was a fun thought to ponder in a vacuum, but the real world has timelines.
