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...

Google Scholar is used for literature research as well as for evaluations of research performance. To establish Google Scholar’s functional compliance we generate a heuristic method and apply it to business relevant journals, namely those ascertained and rated in VHB-JOURQUAL2 by...

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...

Stochastic Non-smooth Envelopment of Data (StoNED) is a semi-parametric and stochastic method of efficiency measurement that combines some of the virtues of the classical counterparts, namely Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) versus Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Recently, it has been...

Multi-criteria production theory (MCPT) is a generalization of traditional production theories which has been developed in order to integrate concerns of modern management science and economics, in particular sustainability and environmental protection. Such as traditional production theory lays...

Decision-based production theory is a generalization of traditional production theories developed in order to integrate concerns of modern management science and economics, such as sustainability and environmental protection. The main idea is the distinction of technologically determined inputs...
