“…This led to the specific DEA method suggestion by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes in 1978 [68]. Advantages of the increasing use in management research are the facts that no a priori existing knowledge of a production function is required, only real-life data is used (no hypothetical production function or efficiency values); and a multitude of inputs can be combined with a multitude of outputs, which is very typical for LSP as complex and high-level service providers as well as other service industries like health care or higher education [69][70][71][72][73].…”

For sustainable supply chains, specific concepts regarding how to efficiently improve sustainability are needed in a global comprehensive triple bottom line (TBL) approach, especially for forwarders as central actors in supply chain design. Such specific advice is provided by reporting empirical DEA Malmquist index findings from seven large European forwarders regarding a TBL sustainability analysis from 2006 to 2016. A major obstacle in improving sustainability consists in the newly discovered fact that with the business cycle, the three TBL areas of economic, ecologic and social objectives for logistics are undergoing different up-and down-ward trends, making it very hard to improve all three simultaneously. Additional factors are identified in the characteristics of size and government influence regarding the sustainability efficiency of forwarders. This has important impacts on supply chain design like e.g., with selection criteria.

“…The underlying technique for efficiency measurement is the DEA introduced by Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes [24] in the basic form with constant returns to scale (CRS) and extended by Banker, Charnes, and Cooper [25] with variable returns to scale (VRS). DEA applications within the higher education sector as a typical multi-input and multioutput production environment are numerous [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. In addition, the Malmquist index for analysing longitudinal developments over time [34][35][36] has also been applied for universities, e.g., for the Philippines [37] and Australia [38].…”

An increasing effort has been put into dealing with the question of time-series analysis regarding institutional efficiency, including in the area of higher education. Universities are important institutions for economies and societies and are expected to provide excellence as well as efficiency in their processes and outputs. This is reflected in the context of an increased global competitive environment by more refined international university rankings. Combining the two areas, this paper points towards a methodological challenge in comparing different ranking datasets for their use in a data envelopment analysis (DEA) Malmquist index time-series efficiency analysis, namely, index-based data compared to additive data. The problem is discussed in a theoretical framework and complemented with an empirical application: calculations for 70 European universities with budget and staff input data and different ranking output data for the timeframe of 2011-2016 show that there is no evidence for a specific index data problem. Important implications regarding university management and higher education policies are outlined. Efficiency improvements among the analyzed universities are significant but also unevenly distributed and not easy to obtain for individual institutions.

“…Research papers in context with ESCM can be found in [2][3][4][5][6]. Literature is also available for the performance assessment of HEI in various countries all over the globe (USA [7][8][9][10][11], UK [12][13][14][15][16][17][18], Australia [19][20], China [21][22][23][24], India [25][26], Germany [27], Canada [28], Taiwan [29], Europe (30)(31), Spain [32], Russia [33], Turkey [34], Vietnam [35], Czech [36], Italy [37][38], Sweden [39], Mexico [40], Chile [41] and Greek [42]). The novelty of the present work lies in the inclusion of sustainability factors (Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in our case) while measuring the teaching and research efficiency.…”

Data envelopment analysis or DEA methodology is employed for assessing the relative efficiency of different homogeneous units. Through DEA one can analyze the areas which need more attention and can suggest measures for improving the performance of different sectors. Through this article, the authors have tried to analyze the relative efficiency of IITR (The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee), a higher educational institute (HEI) in India. The efficiency of nineteen academic departments of IIT Roorkee is measured with respect to teaching and research. The novlty of the paper is twofold (1) the authiors have considered the environmental aspects (sustainability criteria) while measuring efficiency (2) Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is employed in accordance with DEA on the fractional model generated for calculating efficiency.
