Dear Tony,
Deciding the better between a MBA and a CA is like comparing a one day match with test match. Both have their own relevance, yet one is more popular, has more rewards and is more sought after by the public. Both CA and MBA are an integral part of the company, as both have different duties to perform. As such there should no competition whatsoever amongst the two. However, the fact is as a CA you will be look after the finance and accounts department and can expect to rise to the ranks of CFO of the company, while on the other hand an MBA can expect to raise a notch higher to the position of CEO of the same company.
MBAs are better at communication skills, the courses are better designed to understand the global economic scenario and they are trained to be a visionary and leader right from the very start of their course. MBAs are exposed to various aspects of the business and hence are better equipped to take decisions that matter to the future direction of the company. While MBAs take a bird's eye view of the organization CAs are trained to have a look on the eyes of the fish and this is the precise reason MBAs make better CEOs than CAs.
