Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new approach to evaluating the relative technical efficiency of nonprofit organizations that have multiple inputs and outputs. The approach is based on linear programming concepts and provides a way to identify inefficient units and the magnitude of their inefficiency. The author investigated an application of this approach to an artificial data set reflecting the operations of a hospital department. Without knowledge of the underlying technology, the approach accurately identified the inefficient units when the inputs and outputs were properly specified. Also elaborated are the strengths and limitations of this approach to address issues that may arise in subsequent field applications. This book will be of interest to managers attempting to compare and evaluate operations of nonprofit organizations such as municipalities, government agencies, universities, and hospitals. The insights on technical efficiency from this book are significant for understanding how resources can be best utilized to improve efficiency.
