【參考譯文】MESBIC的建立基于這種信念：為已建公司提供方便，使它更容易獲得相關(guān)的管理技術(shù)更具體的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)以及大筆資金要比簡(jiǎn)單地給予一般管理經(jīng)驗(yàn)和小筆資金更能使它們獲得機(jī)會(huì)去建立穩(wěn)固的商業(yè)基礎(chǔ)。

寫作方法與文章大意：

文章主要采用因果以及對(duì)比的寫作方法。先點(diǎn)出SBA計(jì)劃――聯(lián)邦政府對(duì)少數(shù)民族企業(yè)的贊助的失敗及其原因。

為此，聯(lián)邦決策者改變方法，通過(guò)中介公司，建立MESBIC。由它來(lái)幫助少數(shù)民族企業(yè)――使其獲得相應(yīng)的管理技術(shù)、具體工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)和大量資金，甚至潛在的市場(chǎng)――取得了成功。

可內(nèi)部存在問(wèn)題，MESBIC的職工和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者之間的意見(jiàn)分歧，職工的投資觀點(diǎn)更切實(shí)際，而領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者仍從“社會(huì)責(zé)任的角度”來(lái)考慮問(wèn)題，若不改變，有可能重蹈SBA之覆轍。
