Using DEA to Evaluate R&D Performance in the Integrated Semiconductor Firms -- Case Study of Taiwan
نویسندگان
چکیده
The evaluation of research & development (R&D) performance has been an important problem of both academic interest and practical need. This paper presents an empirical study in which we use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate the R&D performance of 52 integrated semiconductor firms located at Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park in Taiwan. We found that the R&D performance is very different among the evaluated companies, though most of the companies are technically efficient. Moreover, possible directions for the inefficient companies to improve their R&D performance are discussed. In particular, we found that most of the inefficient companies should increase their economic scales.

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and balanced scorecard (BSC) are two well-known approaches for measuring performance of decision making units (DMUs). BSC is especially applied with quality measures, whereas, when the quantity measures are used to evaluate, DEA is more appropriate. In the real-world, DMUs usually have complex structures such as network structures. One of the well-known network s...
