“…Thus, efficiency is normally measured with the object of determining whether the services provided by an organisation have been produced at a reasonable cost and with the maximum quality possible [25]. With respect to the evaluation of the efficiency of research activities using the DEA model, the relevant studies are those by [26,27], in which a methodology for the selection of R & D projects is developed and utilised. In this context, in the study of [28], an illustration is given of how DEA can be employed by companies for the analysis, ranking and selection of R & D projects.…”

The principal objective of the research reported in this article is to validate a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) model and a Strategic Map for the University by studying the relationships of efficiency between its dimensions. Subsequently, the validation is completed by establishing hypotheses of efficiency relationships between the perspectives proposed, employing Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Empirical evidence has been obtained on the validity of the proposed BSC for a unit of academic management in the university. The first contribution of this work is the establishment of a framework of analysis of the hypothetical cause-effect relationships in the BSC in university institutions. The second contribution is to obtain the determining factors of the performance in this type of institution and, therefore, the Strategic Map. Specifically, these factors are: the participation of teaching staff in innovation activities; the number of doctorate-level staff; the academic subjects and credits in the Virtual Campus; and the scores in the surveys of student satisfaction. With respect to research, the determining factors of the performance are: the research sexennials; the funding obtained from contracts with companies; the number of research projects obtained; their financing; and the participation of teachers in these projects.

The objective of this article is to propose a new approach for evaluating research and development (R and D) projects in different stages of their life cycle. More recently, some researchers have proposed data envelopment analysis (DEA) as a tool for evaluating R&D projects. In order to eliminate the inconsistency caused by using different frontier facets to calculate efficiency, common set of weights DEA models have been developed, under which a group of decision making units (DMUs) can be ranked for a specific period. Our approach integrates the balanced scorecard (BSC) and common set of weights (CSW) in DEA and develops a new model for project evaluation.
