TL;DR: The contribution of Data Envelopment Analysis to inform management is explored and illustrated in an application to the University of Warwick, using concepts from a technique to support strategic option formulation, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix.
Abstract: This paper is focused on the process of performance measurement undertaken by different stakeholders in the UK higher education sector, focusing on the institutional perspective. Different classes of stakeholders have different motivations to measure performance. Institutions will be affected on the one hand by the state evaluation of them, and on the other by the applicant's. The contribution of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to inform management is explored and illustrated in an application to the University of Warwick, using concepts from a technique to support strategic option formulation, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that rational actors make their organizations increasingly similar as they try to change them, and describe three isomorphic processes-coercive, mimetic, and normative.
Abstract: What makes organizations so similar? We contend that the engine of rationalization and bureaucratization has moved from the competitive marketplace to the state and the professions. Once a set of organizations emerges as a field, a paradox arises: rational actors make their organizations increasingly similar as they try to change them. We describe three isomorphic processes-coercive, mimetic, and normative—leading to this outcome. We then specify hypotheses about the impact of resource centralization and dependency, goal ambiguity and technical uncertainty, and professionalization and structuration on isomorphic change. Finally, we suggest implications for theories of organizations and social change.
