MBA for game developer


Posted Sep 22, 2015 14:55

I've been developing mobile games independently for the past few years and I have had some minor successes with it, but as my business is getting bigger I feel like I need to know more about the business side of things, marketing/promotion/product management. I'm pretty clueless about these things and it's freaking me out. So I have a few questions about MBAs, maybe somebody could help out:

* Would an MBA help me develop these kinds of skills?
* If so, which MBA programs should I look at?
* Would it be possible to keep working on my business while I'm doing an MBA? I would not work full time of course.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Pretty much any internationally accredited part-MBA will work for you. Where are you?

I don't necessarily think you need anything ultra-specialized, in fact I doubt there are MBA programs specifically for game designers. Maybe look for an MBA from a business school that's strong in entrepreneurship, like Babson or Darden. Juggling work with a full time MBA might be tricky though, people overextend themselves trying to pull off things like that...
