Article
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a deterministic method for the aggregation of multidimensional measures and subsequent efficiency analysis. Due to its inherent determinism, however, it reacts sensitively to outliers in datasets. Existing methods for identifying such outliers have two main disadvantages. First, from a more conceptional point of v...

The proposed method of Stochastic Non-smooth Envelopment of Data (StoNED) for measuring efficiency has to date mainly found application in the analysis of production systems which have exactly one output. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to examine the applicability of StoNED when a ray production function models a production technology wi...
Article
Full-text available
After 40 years of research with thousands of application-oriented scientific papers, empirical evidence that data envelopment analysis (DEA) has really improved the practice of performance measurement and benchmarking in real-life non-production contexts is rare. The main reason for this deficit may be that DEA is founded on the concepts of product...
Article
Our paper presents a new performance evaluation tool for teaching, which concentrates on the interaction between the teacher and his students. The elements which enable this interaction are disclosed based on concepts and research results from educational sciences. These elements are structured by means of the gap model developed by Parasuraman et...
Article
This article analyses the development of effectiveness and efficiency of German business schools’ research production between 2001 and 2009. The results suggest that effectiveness for most of the examined business schools increases initially. Then, however, a declining trend in the further course of time can be observed. Similar tendencies can be s...
Article
Waste sorting is an important recovery process in circular product systems. Engineering sciences deal with its performance measurement by analysing various parameter settings based on technical key figures derived from object and component quantities. They are difficult to aggregate, especially since there are no prices for all inputs and outputs....
Preprint
Full-text available
Many papers, particularly from engineering sciences, deal with performance measurement of waste sorting alternatives, for which various parameter settings are analysed based on technical key figures derived from object and component quantities. However, these figures are difficult to aggregate, especially since there are no prices for all inputs an...
Article
There are many studies that deal with the performance of methods of efficiency measurement. Most of them use Monte Carlo simulations. However, these studies have exclusively considered technologies modelled by output-oriented translog production functions (such as Cobb-Douglas functions in particular), which allow factor substitution. Moreover, onl...
Article
In the last decades, various frontier-based efficiency measurement methods have been developed. So far, there is only limited knowledge with respect to the question to what extent a certain method is advantageous in different scenarios. We address this issue by a simulation study. In the respective scenarios, nine parameters are varied that reflect...

Article
Full-text available
The measurement of universities’ efficiency is gaining importance due to the increasing competitive pressure. As the results of such a measurement depend especially on the included input and output factors, it is essential to select them carefully to generate valid results. Against this background, we analyze the impact of including selected input...

Von den bisherigen Lockdown-Regelungen waren vor allem Unternehmen des Freizeit- und Kulturbereiches betroffen, die durch den z. T. vollständigen Wegfall von Einzahlungen massiven Herausforderungen ausgesetzt sind. Der Beitrag zeigt beispielh...
Article
Purpose The subjective interpretation of numerical information can induce the so-called unit effect, i.e. the scale and unit chosen to quantify such information might influence a person's judgment. Although this bias is well-known, until now, it has been difficult to obtain an overview of the respective research. There are a variety of versions of...

This paper investigates the potential expansion of an indicator set for research performance evaluation to include citations for the mapping of research impact. To this end, we use research performance data of German business schools and consider the linear correlations and the rank correlations between publication-based, supportive, and citation-b...
Article
Universities do not tend to systematically record their own benefits, leaving it to independent institutions to summarize and publish in the form of ratings and rankings information that such institutions have acquired by themselves. In Germany, for the academic discipline of Business Administration, the Centre for Higher Education (CHE) is the maj...
