Efficiency Analysis of the Turkish Red Crescent between 2012 and 2014

Abstract

Like businesses with commercial purposes, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), such as the Red Cross and the Red Crescent, should also be in a constant search for more funds to provide help for more people. Otherwise, they will, in the long term, either shut down or start operating inefficiently, which is not sustainable. Therefore, NGOs also must work efficiently, and should check their performances by going through efficiency analyses at regular intervals to ensure sustainability. They should take the necessary structural and financial precautions based on the results provided by these performance analyses.In this study, the efficiency of the Turkish Red Crescent Society (TRC), founded in1868, was measured by an integrated model combining various methods such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Efficiency Analysis Technique with Output Satisficing (EATWOS), and the Competitiveness Operational Rating (OCRA). The comparison of the results provided by these methods indicated that TRC did not show a high performance in 2012 while the efficiency was found to be better in 2013 and 2014.

Hibrit Entropi ve EATWIOS teknikleri ile Türk kamu bankalarının verimlilik analizi

“…While Halk Bank ranked first in 2009-2014, Ziraat Bank ranked first in 2015. In 2009-2012, Vakıfbank was ranked second; in 2013-2014, Ziraat Bank was second. And in 2015-2016, the Halk Bank was second.…”

“…According to the findings obtained with the Objective Entropy technique, the most important efficiency criterion was liquid assets/deposit+non-deposit resources in 2009 and 2014, while the most important criterion was total loans/total deposits in 2010. In , 2012In , 2013In , 2015, the most important criterion was profit before tax/total assets, while in 2017, 2018 and 2019, the most important criterion was after special provisions net interest income/total assets. The ranking of the first three efficiency criteria in terms of criterion importance has changed according to years.…”

Opportunities and risks of satisficing levels in efficiency analyses from the perspective of sustainable development

“…Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird der in EATWOS und EAT-WIOS verfolgte Ansatz betrachtet, der in der Fachliteratur jüngst mehrfach aufgegriffen worden ist (vgl. Bansal et al 2014;Berbig 2015, S. 209-215;Özbek 2015a, 2015b, 2015c. Es werden Chancen und Risiken erörtert, die sich aus der Berücksichtigung von Satisfizierungsgrenzen in Effizienzanalysen aus Sicht nachhaltiger Entwicklung ergeben.…”

Benefits and Risks of Satisficing Levels for Input and Output Quantities in Efficiency Analyses from a Corporate Social Responsibility Perspective

“…In the paper at hand, the approach -underlying EATWOS and EATWIOS -is regarded, which has been taken up in recent specialized literature (Bansal et al, 2014;Özbek, 2015a;2015b;2015c;Kumar et al, 2016;Peters and Zelewski, 2016). Benefits and risks are being discussed that result out of the consideration of satisficing levels in efficiency analyses from the viewpoint of CSR.…”
