It certainly does. Just check the CEO turnover for the past 10 or even 20 years and you will find that what I stated in my post,
"...Show me a candidate with the capabilities and qualifications needed for the job at hand..."
is applied regularly. The key is to be looking for the very best person to do the job. That does not mean one who is from the business because they know it. It means they have acknowledged ability to do the job.
It is a concept that is not neccessarily very popular with a lot of people for obvious reasons.
Why would Microsoft put a limitation on candidate selection? The answer is they would not.
