Evaluation of junior colleges of technology: The Taiwan case
TLDR
A quantitative method based on the concept of Pareto-optimal organization which is much easier to conduct is proposed, and is a simpler version of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique for measuring relative efficiency.About:

Efficiency analysis of university departments: An empirical study ☆
Chiang Kao,Hsi Tai Hung +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied data envelopment analysis (DEA) to assess the relative efficiency of the academic departments at National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan, and four groups of departments of similar characteristics were categorized via an efficiency decomposition and cluster analysis.

Weight determination for consistently ranking alternatives in multiple criteria decision analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a measure of relative distance, which involves the calculation of the relative position of an alternative between the anti-ideal and the ideal for ranking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interval efficiency measures in data envelopment analysis with imprecise data
TL;DR: A pair of two-level mathematical programming models are constructed, whose objective values represent the lower bound and upper bound of the efficiency scores, respectively, based on the concept of productive efficiency and the application of a variable substitution technique.

Measuring the efficiency of decision making units
TL;DR: A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs and methods for objectively determining weights by reference to the observational data for the multiple outputs and multiple inputs that characterize such programs.

The use of bibliometric data for the measurement of university research performance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a study on the potentialities of "bibliometric" data as tools for university research policy, and the main conclusion is that the use of bibliometric data for evaluation purposes carries a number of problems, both with respect to data collection and handling, and in respect to the interpretation of Bibliometric results.

Determining the Comparative Efficiency of Schools through Data Envelopment Analysis
TL;DR: A newly developed input/output method for comparing the efficiency of decision making units and it is applied to the elementary schools in an urban school district results in the identification of efficient and inefficient schools and provides management information relative to input and output measures.
