This study determined undergraduate and graduate education efficiency scores using the 2020 data from 20 state research universities in Turkey. The study used input-oriented data envelopment analysis to compare undergraduate and graduate education efficiencies. In the study, the efficiency of the research universities in the prioritized field(s) was compared with the efficiency in the field(s) in which they operate intensively. It also includes suggestions on increasing their effectiveness in the prioritized field(s). In addition, the Tobit regression model, which is a regression model for limited dependent variables, was used to determine the determinants of efficiency scores. The findings show the undergraduate and graduate education performances of research universities comparatively. In addition, based on the results obtained from the Tobit regression model, suggestions were made to increase graduate performance. Five factors (the number of graduate students per faculty member, the number of undergraduate students per academic staff, the number of graduates/undergraduates in the number of students and graduations, and the number of faculty members per program) have a significant effect on graduate performance. Therefore, it is important in terms of strategic management that research universities should be restructured by considering these factors or that they should be considered in plans. The study offers an alternative perspective to performance management in both education and management.

“…Efficiency is one of the factors in assessing and measuring the performance of the business (Mouzas, 2006). Efficiency can be measured by various techniques, such as cost function estimation, stochastic frontier estimation, effectiveness, and production function (Günay & Haliloğlu, 2018). In this study, efficiency refers to the input and output of the VAT change project at MTN, such as time spent, cost, system performance, and operational readiness for the 1% VAT rate increase.…”

The main objective of this article is to explore and describe the impact of the Value-added tax (VAT) increase on Mobile Telephone Networks (MTN) performance by exploring the end-to-end telecommunication (telco) business process. For the nature of this research, there is limited research in both South African and international scholarship that seeks to explore an understanding of the full end-to-end telco industry where study would look at the complexity of telco strategies right from the product catalogue down to rate cards, price configuration, system capacity, network depletion rules, billing engines, and customer invoices. Failure to apply the correct VAT change to any of these elements will result in either over-or underbilling of customers. This is a serious problem because an undercharge influences the operator's revenue, causing a loss, not just because of the 1% VAT increase. Damages can reach far beyond this: an overcharge may increase customer complaints and result in reputational risk that is not limited to customer churn. This article provides insight into how fiscal policy affects industries. The insights and practical experience gathered in the research field can be used for operational improvement, training, risk identification and control development in the telco industry. A mixed-method design was used with a case study approach. This article reports on the qualitative findings. Five main themes were identified after analysing the qualitative data, namely: the effect of the VAT increase on MTN's performance, change management, change in business processes, the impact of an incorrect VAT rate on MTN's system, and system or process configuration. The case studied and the primary data analysed to explore the impact of a VAT increase aftermath are limited to the South African telco industry. The change management risk exposure detected, root cause analysis and insights of this article highlight the pitfalls that the project managers, change management professionals, marketing, information system and technology teams need to avoid when performing net-

Background: The Indonesian government has evaluated the research performance of universities, whose measurement process is projected into resources, management, outputs, and revenues to determine the provision of incentives, grants, and program funding to universities. However, efficiency calculations have shown that the outputs and competition-based incentives that drive scientific productivity are more complex. The most competitive systems must also be the most productive when considering resources. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the research efficiency in the Indonesian higher education system. Research Designs: The efficiency was analyzed by maximizing the 13 product outputs from the research budget and university staff. The result was then compared with the existing performance measurement analysis. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to evaluate the efficiency based on the data of 47 universities in the Mandiri cluster and 144 in the Utama cluster for the 2014–2018 period. Results: These findings showed that about 68% of universities have an efficiency value of 1 for the Mandiri group, almost 40% in the Utama group, and 41% for the two groups combined. Additionally, this study compared the efficiency analysis and the impact of the performance evaluation. Conclusions: The comparison showed that adding efficiency or productivity factors in the performance evaluation assessment produced a more accurate result.
