<p>Hello, I'm a bachelor in computer science. I'm thinking of starting a new company and make computer software for people. </p>
<p>I think I have plenty of ideas and I think I could describe my ideas to a programmer and hire him to make that software for me.</p>
<p>So my question is, should I go for a masters computer science degree to "open more doors" for my ideas and concepts, or should I go for a MBA so I could manage my business and keep it running?</p>
<p>I would also like to know what "knowledge" an MBA would be able to benefit me as being an executive in a company.</p>
<p>And what "topics" would I come across with a Masters which I won't in Bachelors.</p>
<p>Getting an MS might help you refine your ideas, to realize which ones are worth more than others, and to position yourself to better understand the backgrounds and qualifications of the software developers you, as an entrepreneur, will recruit. By gaining breadth, depth and experience (by working in a rigorous lab), you will generally become a more mature person capable of better evaluating risk and reward.</p>
<p>Getting an MBA will help you understand the business aspects of your enterprise, but - and I might be wrong here - I tend to think of MBAs as being more appropriate for companies which have already established themselves and most of the corporate bureaucracy already. Certainly knowing more about the legalities and economics of starting a business would help any entrepreneur, but I honestly don’t know a lot about what MBAs do.</p>
