Dear preplounge community members
I will soon reach my Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science from a Swiss University of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule). My grade will be average around 4.5 where 6 is the maximum grade. My problem is that i dont have any business skills and i want to learn as much i can before i start a company. I've worked only in the software industry as developer. I'm interested in Entrepreneurship (Tech Startups) and management consulting. I could think about to work as management consultant and stay there or switch after some years of consulting to entrepreneurship. I'm allowed to enroll for a bachelor of arts degree at the University of St. Gallen in the second year and finish the degree in 2 years instead of 3.
My Questions now are:
Does an MBA give you all the basic business fundamentals to successfully build and scale a company from zero to 100+ employees?
Is there a possibility to go into a school like INSEAD for an MBA with my computer science degree. I'm not sure because i think that i need better grades and a more recognised university instead of a university of applied sciences?
When i compare an MBA of INSEAD with a Master of Arts in Business Management at the University of St. Gallen. I can see that i've to study 3.5 years full time to reach the degree in St. Gallen and the INSEAD MBA only 11 months. So will i learn more with the undergraduate and master degrees St. Gallen instead of 11 months at INSEAD because i invest much more time?
The costs for swiss cizitens to study at the university of st. gallen is very low (BA + MA around 10'000$ )when you compare it with an INSEAD MBA (> 100'000$)
Which way would you go? Every answer and experience is welcome.
Thanks very much for your help :-)
