I've had experience. I had to rush out and learn economics from old textbooks when I was hired in the business world instead of a job that required my education in psychology. Not only that, but when my previous boss was in all of his legal trouble, the VPs had to take over. As VP of marketing and product development, I would be what some might call the "vision" man.
So no, my opinion isn't based on real schooling, but it is based in experience.

Apple was successful because the product was perfect. It sold itself. Do you think Steve Jobs has a formal education in economics now? Of course he does.

Why would a vision fail? Because it's wrong. What's the best way to prevent that? Know the rules of the game.
How many CEOs don't have a formal education in economics?
