Bussinessmen are not psychologists, or social scientists. CEOs are nothing more than laymen when it comes to this topic. You might as well try appealing to the years of experience of a crab fisherman on the topic of global warming.  

Yes, sure CEO are dumb people that doesn't have departments to look at all that is needed. And I'm certain that psychologists and social scientists are the ones that have the best studies about productivity and thus are the most sought after professionals for companies.

CEOs are on their position to bring the best profit they can (and that pretty much involves improving efficiency). But since you know so much more than them, where is your company for you to apply all the knowledge you have.

And just to make it easier for you, you don't have to be PhD in a subject to understand or use the discoveries of it.

So if all the companies go asking the advice of a Voodoo magician, then that somehow makes him an expert? Sorry, but being right is not a popularity contest. 

CEO's are in their posistion to being the best profit that they can. That means doing everything they can to screw over their employees and customers. You need more than knowlege to have a company. You need money. Sorry, if I don't have a million dollars laying around to start up my own company. 

No, you don't need a PHD to understand a subject. But ignoring the input of a PHD in favor of some layman, is an idiotic thing to do.
