“…Data envelopment analysis (DEA) was traditionally applied to assess the relative efficiency among different organizational decision making units (DMUs) such as governmental organizations (Bowlin, 1986), bank branches (Boufounou, 1995), European SMEs (Lytrasa, Castillo-Merinob, & Serradell-Lopez, 2010) or universities (Reichmann & SommersguterReichmann, 2006). The method has successfully spread into many different domains with This is a Preprint of the final Version of Record available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.…”

“…They treat all customers within the trade area the same way, regardless of their actual distance from the site, and they evaluates specific sites but do not search for optimal ones (Boufounou, 1995). The difficulties in evaluating some factors in numerical scales is another weakness in applying regression or gravity models which can be overcome by applying discriminant procedures.…”

“…However, this type of models are difficult to calibrate, as demanding a great volume of data, so users tend to apply it in the evaluation of one new site at a time (Boufounou, 1995) reducing the model's practical utility. Heald (1972) stresses often the distance function related with the attractiveness, and mentions that it could present difficulties in correctly estimating the parameters.…”

ABSTRACT:One of the most important decisions a retailer can make is where to locate a retail outlet. Because convenience is so important to today's consumers, a retail store can prosper or fail solely based on its location. Recently, a changing retail environment is augmenting the location importance as retail economic groups develop multi outlet chains of small stores.The methods used in the development and calibration of location models for commercial spaces and sales forecast are multiple, varying from simple analogy forecast models to very complex spatial interactions models, which may incorporate dependence models in a gravitational or logit structure and many exploratory variables. More recent developments incorporating meta-heuristics such as genetic algorithms for the global problem of the multi outlet chain configuration, or the use of Voronoi diagrams in store trade area delimitation, are also presented. Finally, the Geographical Information Systems' role on the decision support process is equally explored.

“…Bulmuş oldukları sonuca göre Chicago eyaletindeki banka şubelerinin dağılımının önemli ölçüde ekonomik ve demografik değişkenlerden etkilendiği ortaya koymuştur. Boufounou (1995) bir Yunan Bankası'nın şube hedeflerini belirleme, performansı değerlendirme ve yeni yerleri planlama konularında yönetimine yardımcı olması için birçok etkeni regresyon modeli ile incelemiş ve nüfus, istihdam, kredi ve mevduatlar gibi bazı demografik ve sosyo-ekonomik birçok etkenin bankacılık sektörünün her alanında önemli etkiye sahip olduğu sonucuna ulaşmıştır.
