Modeling Performance Measurement

Applications and Implementation Issues in DEA

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Modeling Performance Measurement: Applications and Implementation Issues in DEA presents unified results from several authors' recent DEA research. These new DEA methodology and techniques are developed in application-driven scenarios that go beyond the identification of the best-practice frontier and seek solutions to aid managerial decisions. These new DEA developments are well-grounded in real world applications. Both DEA researchers and practitioners will find this book helpful. Theory is provided for DEA researchers for further development and possible extensions. However, it should also be mentioned that each theory is presented in practical terms with numerical examples, simple real management cases and verbal descriptions. These concrete examples will be of value to researchers, students, and practitioners.

Rezensionen

Aus den Rezensionen:

"... Generell ist die DEA ein interessanter Ansatz zur Messung der relativen Effizienz und zur Performancebewertung verschiedenster Entscheidungseinheiten. Dabei bewegt sich das Buch ... zwischen wissenschaftlichem Anspruch und praktischer Anwendung. ... Alleinstellungsmerkmal des Buches ist, dass es die Vielfalt der Einsatzmöglichkeiten der DEA aufzeigt und zugleich vermittelt, inwieweit methodische Anpassungen erforderlich und zu realisieren sind. Insoweit setzt es vertiefte DEA-Kenntnisse voraus ... Der Aufbau des Buches ist durch die anwendungsbezogene Schwerpunktsetzung didaktisch gelungen ... Anwendern aus ... Wissenschaft und ... Unternehmenspraxis kann das Buch ... empfohlen werden ..." (Matthias Meyer, in: OR News - OR Spectrum, July 2008, Issue 33, S. 66 f.)
