You may or may not need to do an MBA if you read these books- most of them available in paperback editions.
Corporate Strategy by Igor Ansoff.
Ogilvy on Advertising by David Ogilvy
The Mind of the Strategist by Kenichi Ohmae

These are not text-bookish at all, are fun to read and will teach you most of the management that you will need. Strategy, Marketing, Operations and Human Resources Management. Other important books..
Henry Mintzberg's The Nature of Managerial Work
The Essential Drucker by Peter Drucker
Customers for Life by Carl Sewell
Psychology is About People by H.J. Eysenck

Any book by Seth Godin might be a good addition to these.
