I compiled the statistics for this whitepaper. We do not attempt to quantify success or company size. We aware that our data set is biased toward smaller companies, namely start-ups.

We simply examined CEOs at a certain time period and their degree composition.

Before complaining about success and size, it is important to know what % of college grads have each of these majors. Without knowing this, the conclusion of "Engineers with advanced degrees are more likely to become CEOs than MBAs" is suspect.
