‎in this paper, we present a two-stage model for ranking of decision making units (dmus) using interval analytic hierarchy process (ahp). since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to the efficient units, we evaluate the efficiency of each dmu by basic dea models and calculate the weights of the criteria using proposed model. in the first stage, the proposed model evaluates decision making...

This paper proposes a novel optimization technique that addresses the most critical issue that impedes the process of technology integration in the universities in developing countries. The problem is addressed by optimizing the network efficiency and multimedia performance that matches with the challenges of constrained low bandwidth environment. The Paper also provides a comprehensive review ...

INTRODUCTION Efficiency evaluation of universities and faculties is one of the tools that help managers to identify the departments' strengths and weakness. The main objective of the present research was to measure and compare the technical efficiency of Shiraz school of medicine departments using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique. METHODS This cross-sectional and retrospective study ...

We introduce a model of an local public goods economy with a continuum of agents and jurisdictions with ̄nite population. Under an especially mild condition of boundedness of per capita payo®s we show nonemptiness of the core of the economy. We then demonstrate that the equal treatment core coincides with the set of competitive allocations. Under an additional condition ensuring that all outcom...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is applied to 2568 graduates from UK universities in 1993 in order to assess teaching efficiency. Following a methodology developed by Thanassoulis & Portela (2002), each individual’s efficiency is decomposed into two components: one attributable to the university at which the student studied, and the other attributable to the student himself. From the former com...

different models with various approaches to strategic positioning have been employed to define it in various industries. as one of the powerful models, bsc analyses all aspect of organization evenly. in this study bsc is used as an instrument to make shiraz university more efficient in implementing strategic and performance or supporting their strategic plan. therefore this study aims to design...

This paper presents a comparative study of performance and efficiency of various networks commissioned on different campuses of six universities in the western Himalayan region of India, within the framework of BNode theory and its abstraction given by Cikara et al (2006). It has been done in three phases: i) The data handling capacity per user in the respective network has been presented and d...
