问题     Leaving the region’s economic woes behind, more young Asians than ever are going to America to get their MBAs. Fortune ranks the 25 schools that do the best job of training Asia’s future managers.
    Those that made our list not only have number one academics but also offer scholastic, career, and cultural supports that meet the needs of Asian students. This explains why many of our top schools are in California, which has closer links with Asia, through immigration and economics, than any other states. Most of the Fortune 25 have established reputations in Asia and have developed formal links with Asian institutions. Today 260,000 Asians—defined as citizens from China, Japan, Korea, and the nations of the subcontinent and Southeast Asia—are getting graduate degrees in the U.S. Of these, 16% are enrolled in business.
    The rewards for graduating MBAs are substantial, with American multinationals offering the best positions. MBAs graduating from top American schools can look forward to $75,000 stalling salaries, up to $20,000 in signing bonuses, plenty of extra money—and interesting work.
    The market for the skills of Asian MBAs is expanding. Despite Asia’s economic turmoil, Western firms continue to come into the region. They are desperate to hire people with managerial talent and knowledge of local culture.
    For example, McKinsey & Co., which is the most sought-after employer among business students, hired 834 MBAs, in 1997, up from 515 in 1993—a 61% increase.
    But the growth in the number hired to work in its Asian offices in 1998 is even more staggering—up more than 100% from 487 in 1993.
    B-schools, as businesses in their own right, have also adapted to the demands of their customers. They have revised their curriculums, adding more international course material, and introduced compulsory core courses on global management. They have made it easier for non-American companies to recruit their students.
    Asian students are impossible to categorize, but as a group there are a few notable points about them. One characteristic: Most say they want to bring their skills back home eventually. Another characteristic is that Asian MBA students are markedly entrepreneurial. Half of them would like to start their own businesses within ten years of graduation, compared with 33% of the general MBA population.
    And Asian students tend to be well off. There is limited financial aid available to foreign students, who therefore must pay in full—more than $25,000 a year in some cases.

选项 A、Asian economic crisis is already over.
B、California’s climate suits Asians better.
C、California has closer ties with Asia.
D、there are mole foreign students than other places in the U.S.
