Root Cause = Cause
Cause = Contributing factor

It's like the roofing company we just hired. They can't put on a new roof but rather, they can install a new "roof system." What CR@P!
Speaking as an MBA myself, I just have to say I'm thrilled to hear another MBA acknowledge that a lot of the lingo they teach is CRAP!

Congratulations on the degree!
