[game_edu] Request for books recommendations

[Jason Della Rocca]

Fun stuff.

I'd go much broader... Like:

Innovators Dilemma
http://www.amazon.ca/Innovators-Dilemma-Revolutionary-Change-Business/dp/0062060244/

Medici Effect
http://www.amazon.ca/Medici-Effect-Breakthrough-Insights-Intersection/dp/1591391865/

The Lean Startup
http://www.amazon.ca/Lean-Startup-Entrepreneurs-Continuous-Innovation/dp/0307887898/


Or, in terms of game production/agile:

Agile Game Development with Scrum
http://www.amazon.ca/Agile-Development-Scrum-Clinton-Keith/dp/0321618521/


Regards,
Jason
