我还是觉得不太可靠。虽说MBA是一个新兴事物，发展快是没有错，但国内MBA的教育质量实在是良莠不齐。各大学校都争先开设MBA课程，却没有足够的师资和教学基础，报考MBA的学员也是一味跟风，根本没有应有的素质和基础。MBA教育本来是对有一定管理经验的人进行高级管理培养的，所以报考的条件之一就是要有3到5年的工作经验，可是现在在国内，却成为了很多人为了得到文凭和找工作的跳板。我想这是有悖于MBA教育的初衷的。

I still think it's not that reliable. It's fine to say that the MBA is a new thing, and it should develop quickly. But the quality of education in domestic MBA programs is just very uneven. Every university is competing to be first to offer MBA classes, but they don't have enough teachers or an academic foundation. The students taking the MBA entrance exams are all just getting on the band wagon. They just don't have the necessary qualities or background. MBA education was originally to offer advanced management training to people who already had a certain amount of work experience. So one of the conditions of application was three to five years of work experience. But now, in China, people are using their MBA qualifications as a launch pad when they go job-hunting. I think that runs counter to the MBA's original intention.
