These are all MBA business books whist I could see some business books being useful.

Having 100% make me think the target audience are MBA students and not "hackers"

Keep in mind that IH'ers are trying to start their own independent internet-based bootstrapped businesses. Having joined the IH community recently, I can attest that the business side of things is where most IH'ers are lacking in terms of achieving that goal (myself included). Their technical skills tend to be "good enough". Hence the value placed on these types of books. Hope that helps to explain.

True. Something similar to the ARM Cortex Technical Reference Manual is more my idea of "hacker": http://docs-api-peg.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/assets/dd...

Do you think this is "indispensable" on the general sense of the title?
