Technological upgrading and increases in capital intensity have been championed in the organized manufacturing sector in India on the grounds that such measures improve productivity, efficiency and competitiveness. In a developing economy, these are costly propositions. Also, the effect of technological changes on productivity and efficiency levels must be estimated before implementing such pol...

The cement industry is highly energy-intensive, consuming approximately 7% of global industrial energy consumption each year. Improving production technology a good strategy to reduce the needs plant. market offers wide variety alternative solutions; besides, literature already provides reviews opportunities improve efficiency in However, constantly developing, so available alternatives may cha...

This research aimed at identifying natural organisms and their properties in the technological samples of contemporary architecture. The main questionswere: "Which properties of natural organisms are effective on the technological works of contemporary architecture?" and "How much do they affect?"This descriptive-analytic research was conducted using archival method to access the theoretical...

Inflows of foreign direct investment generate externalities that spill over to domestic firms and raise their productivity. This article examines the extent of spillover effects of foreign direct investment for firms in the highly disaggregated garment (ISIC 3221) and electronics industries (ISIC 3832) in Indonesia. Both are export-intensive industries, but differ greatly in technological sophi...

the present study used different categories of organized sector manufacturing industries pooled data for the periods of 1981-82 and 2007-08 in haryana state (india). the present undertaking seeks to analyze the inter-temporal and inter-industry comparison of total factor productivity (tfp) measured by malmquist productivity index - an application of dea which calculates the indices of tfp and i...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for evaluating the relative efficiency of a set of firms in a production process. Estimation of cost efficiency is one of the branches of performance evaluation. Cost efficiency evaluates the ability of producing current output with minimum available cost. Now let's assume that there are several groups of firms that operate separately and have differe...

background: due to the increasing health care costs, the issue of productivity in hospitals must be taken into great consideration in order to provide, preserve and promote public health services. thus, increasing the level of productivity must become the main aim of any hospital. objective of this study is to determine the total factor productivity and its components over the period under the ...
