可是，虽然中国的MBA教育发展还不算久，不算特别成熟和完善，但我们的确是需要大量的高级管理人才啊。MBA教育在中国一直在逐步升温。从15年前清华大学开始试点培养MBA人才，到1999年拥有颁布MBA证书资格的高校数目就已经上升到56所，到现在更是呈几何倍数增长，报考人数和毕业人才数也越来越多。我倒是很赞成在中国本土培养MBA人才，这样不仅省去了远洋学习的重重困难与麻烦，还避免了人才流失。所以呀，尽管中国的MBA教育还处于萌芽状态，我们还是要给予支持的。

But although we can't say that the MBA in China has been developing for a long time, and it's not especially mature or complete, we definitely need a lot of high level management talent. MBA education in China has been getting gradually hotter. From Qinghua University's launch of MBA training fifteen years ago, to 1999 when the number of universities offering an MBA degree reached 56, to today, when the number is rising geometrically, more and more people are taking the entrance exams and graduating. I actually really support China's domestic training of MBAs. This way, not only do you save a lot of trouble and hassle by not needing to go far away to study, you also avoid a brain drain. So, although MBA training is just getting started in China, we should still support it.
