Data envelopment analysis (DEA) measures the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. DEA-based Malmquist productivity index measures the productivity change over time. We propose a dynamic DEA model involving network structure in each period within the framework a DEA. We have previously published the network DEA (NDEA) and the dynamic DEA ...

This paper defines the production possibility set and constructs the multiple objective programming for matrix-type organization on the basis of the Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (CCR) model. Then the efficiency score of the complex system can be calculated through solving the multiple objective programming. Compared with the traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) model shows the new model ca...

A general overview of the current situation will help to define plans for the future in order to obtain maximum profit of the resources we have and to better plan future investments. The main computing issues for 1998 are presented and their effects evaluated: Migration of QuickMail towards the CERN central mail server, in parallel with a migration of MAC to PC when needed; -rationalization of ...

4. training community health extension workers and community volunteers Training CHEWs and community volunteers before MDA ensures smooth implementation. There are three phases of training. The first two-day training session is for divisional coordinators and supervisors from all over the district that will carry out MDA. The second two-day training session is for CHEWs, who are team leaders at...

Metastatic tumors to the orbit are rare, especially from a primary pancreatic carcinoma. A 59-year-old man presented with 4 weeks of right eye pain and eyelid swelling. There was right upper eyelid ptosis associated with a right supraduction deficit consistent with a superior divisional third cranial nerve (CN III) palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a right orbital apex lesion. A right ...

This article investigates how the job histories of CEOs influence their capital allocation decisions when they preside over multidivisional firms. I find that, after CEO turnover, divisions not previously affiliated with the new CEO receive significantly more capital expenditures than divisions through which the new CEO has advanced. The pattern of reverse-favoritism in capital allocation is mo...

This study uses the 2008 mortgage crisis to demonstrate how the relationship between vertical integration and performance crucially depends on corporate governance. Prior research has argued that the vertical integration of mortgage origination and securitization aligned divisional incentives and improved lending quality. We show that vertical integration improved loan performance only in those...

This paper examines the theoretical properties of full-cost transfer prices in multidivisional firms. In our model, divisional managers are responsible for initial acquisition productive capacity and utilization that subsequent periods, once operational uncertainty has been resolved. We examine alternative variants pricing with property discounted sum payments is equal to cost present value all...
