This paper describes an intelligent decision support system for evaluating state-owned enterprises (SOEs) using DEA models. This decision support system converts numerical data into information that can be used to evaluate state-owned enterprises (SOEs). In this paper, we use DEA models, including CCR, BCC and FDH, to shed new light on the operational efficiency and determinants of stateowned e...

This decision support system converts numerical data into information that will evaluate state-owned enterprises (SOEs). We associate the database management subsystem, the model base subsystem, the knowledge acquisition subsystem, and the dialogue subsystem to construct D...

The past two decades have witnessed significant changes in China as it has moved from a centrally planned economy to a more market-oriented one.

China’s industrial state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are commonly perceived as performing poorly. This leads authors to conclude that SOE reform so far has been a failure, and to recommend all-out privatization. Industrial SOE profitability indeed declined drastically in the course of the reform period, and industrial SOEs are always less profitable than industrial non-SOEs. However, the gap betwe...

Reforms and Productivity Dynamics in Chinese State-Owned Enterprises Institutional change has taken place gradually since 1978 for State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in the Industrial Sector of China. In this paper we estimate the effect of deep reform (the right to hire and fire labour, buy and sell capital and operate on international markets) on the productivity dynamics of enterprises. Using a ...

Organizational slack has been recognized as critical to firm performance, although its impact is not always positive. Slack may be used to fuel innovation or alternatively excess resources may be squandered on pet projects. However, most research on slack is rooted in studying private firms in developed economies, especially the United States. Whether prior research on organizational slack can ...

This study contributes to the debate on whether China’s domestic enterprises (DEs) have experienced a significant catch-up compared with foreign-funded enterprises (FFEs) in high-tech industries. Our paper tries to estimate a new set of capital stock and R&D capital stock by ownership for China’s high-tech industries. Then, using this newly constructed data set, it assesses the comparative prod...
