“…During the downturn in the global economy, the semiconductor industry, unlike other industries, needed to increase its fixed assets (x 1 ), employee numbers (x 2 ), R&D expenses (x 3 ) and cost of sales (x 4 ) continuously. Thore et al (1996) (x 2 ) Employees: the count of staff in a company Chen et al (2006); Hung and Lu (2008); Thore et al (1996) (x 3 ) R&D expenses (unit: million NT$): costs of research and development activities arising from personnel, transaction, maintenance, materials and other fees Chu et al (2008); Thore et al (1996) (x 4 ) Cost of sales (unit: million NT$): to the cost of the initial inventory, add sales over the given period, and then subtract the cost of the final inventory Chen et al (2006); Hung and Lu (2008); Thore et al (1996) Output (y 1 ) Net sales (unit: million NT$): the operating income after deducting for operating expenses Hung and Lu (2008); Thore et al (1996) (y 2 ) Market value (unit: million NT$): the product of the weighted average stock price and the outstanding shares Hung and Lu (2008); Thore et al (1996) …”

Abstract. The semiconductor industry has been regarded as one of the most important industries by Taiwan due to the market share of Taiwan's semiconductor industry in 2011 ranked second worldwide. However, the European debt crisis triggered a global economic recession in 2011, causing Taiwan's output of semiconductors in 2010 and 2011 to show negative growth. This paper will mainly explore, from the performance evaluation perspective, the Malmquist productivity index of the Taiwan's semiconductor industry based on a metafrontier approach. The empirical results show that the European debt crisis in 2011 had an impact on Integrated circuit (IC) design companies and IC manufacturing companies, but that there was no influence on IC packaging and testing companies when measuring static efficiency. From the viewpoint of dynamic productivity performance, the paper finds that the main reason for the negative growth of IC packaging and testing companies and IC design companies came from a backward movement in technical change, but the main reason for the negative growth of IC manufacturing companies derived from a decline in pure technical efficiency.

Thore, et al (1996) used a DEA approach to rank the efficiency of U.S. computer companies during a ten-year period and confirmed a key relationship between efficiency and the product cycle. Their observations indicated that heavy spending by companies to bring a stream of innovative products on line was generally ineffective.…”

The city of Erzurum is emerging as one of the most popular jewelry centers in Turkey, principally due to its possession of mines for precious stones, and in particular for Oltu stone. Oltu stone is paramount to the international image of the city, and its contribution to the local and national economy is significant. Although recent studies have underscored the enormous potential of the Oltu stone industry, it is encumbent on the enterprises concerned to use their resources effectively and efficiently in order to reduce their costs, and they are also advised to improve service quality and thus satisfy customer needs more closely. With these aims in mind, Data Envelopment Analysis provides a convenient statistical technique that enables the analyst to measure the relative efficiencies of enterprises. This linear-programming-based technique can be used to identify suggestions for improvement with the goal of achieving greater efficiency. This paper uses Data Envelopment Analysis to perform a relative efficiency analysis of enterprises operating in the Oltu stone industry and presents alternatives whereby inefficient enterprises may become more efficient. The paper makes use of output-oriented CCR and BCC models to specify the scenario by calculating three different efficiency scores.
