The supply of public libraries in Korea has been rapidly improving because of the recent increase for cultural demands and revitalization of the local culture. This paper aims to analyze the efficiency about 565 public libraries using Clustering DEA/AHP(CDA) model. This model is employed the efficiency analysis in order to incorporate project irreversibility and division due to the limit of resources spending. The results shows that the public libraries are divided into three groups which are large size libraries(Group 1), middle size libraries(Group 2) and small size libraries(Group 3). Their average efficiency was found as 0.89, 0.72 and 0.60 each.

This paper estimates technical efficiency of industrial water in order to afford some information for improving the efficiency of government water management policy. To estimate technical efficiency, this paper uses data envelopment analysis. The result shows that the average pure technical efficiency of industrial water is 0.407. This estimate is less than the estimates when all inputs are considered as variables in the previous researches. This result means that the managers may have not tried to improve the efficiency of industrial water usage since the cost for industrial water is trivial compared to other inputs. In addition, this result shows that the previous researches which assume that all inputs are used in efficient way may give a biased results.

This study aims to implement an empirical research about the efficiency of container Ports, and to suggest an effective strategy which can operate container Ports more well. This paper presents a new approach to the measurement of efficiency. Data envelopment analysis(DEA), as it is called, has particular applicability in the service sector. This study applies DEA to provide an efficiency measurement for fifty three container ports including Pusan Port. As a result, we suggest several ideas that can improve the efficiency of container terminals. They are as follows. Firstly, we discriminate between efficient and inefficient container ports and then present a method that can move to efficiency container terminal and a benchmarking port. Secondly, we evaluate the efficiency of Pusan port, and grasp the position at the present time, suggest an advanced direction in future.

While water management policies in Korea have focused on industrial water demand during the last decade, the amount of industrial water usage has decreased significantly. This paper estimates the technical efficiency of industrial water in order to test whether the reduction of industrial water usage is a result of improving the level of technical efficiency of industrial water. This paper shows that the technical efficiency of industrial water use slightly decreased from 0.5183 in 1998 to 0.4853 in 2003. In addition, these estimates are much less than those of other inputs and so, there is still much room for reducing the amount of industrial water use through improving technical efficiency even though the average productivity of industrial water has improved during this period.

Evaluating performance in public sector aims to enhance the efficiency of organizations. Evaluating the efficiency which is the ratio between input and output, organizations set directions of improvement. This research applied Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) useful to evaluating the efficiency of organizations in public sector. Decision Making Units(DMU) of this research are 21 Information Security Organizations of departments/agencies. As the results, the mean of efficiency score of 21 DMUs is a little more than 50%. Means of departments(8 DMUs) and agencies/committees(11 DMUs) are similar to the total efficiency score. For these results, the decision makers of the information security organizations in public sector have to strive to improve the inefficiency.

21C 정보화시대를 맞이하여 반도체 산업이 급속하게 발전함에 따라 컴퓨터를 활용한 효율성이 높은 유틸리티 관리 시스템(New Utility Management System) 기술이 중요시되는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 유틸리티 관리시스템의 한 부분인 냉수 시스템에 대해 정상상태 유동해석을 통하여 각 구성 요소에서의 유량 및 압력, 온도를 제공할 수 있는 컴퓨터해석시스템을 구현하였다. 효율성 증대를 위해 펌프 위치에 따른 시스템 변화를 파악하여 시스템에 영향을 크게 미칠 수 있는 펌프 즉, 가동하면 효율적인 펌프를 결정하였으며 최적의 리턴라인(Return Line) 위치를 설계하였다. 이 결과는 운전 및 관리의 효율성 증대와 에너지 절감을 위하여 매우 유익한 활용이 가능하다.

Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) model is a linear programing based technique for measuring the relative performance of organizational units where the presence of multiple inputs and outputs makes comparison difficult. DEA model allows each unit to adopt a set of weight that shows it in the most favorable light in comparison to the other units. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the libraries of national university in terms of relative efficiency, measured by the method of DEA. Twenty six libraries of national universities in Korea were used to analyze. The number of employees, size of library, budget, and number of books were used for input data, and the number of visitors, number of loan books, and number of books for lending and borrowing were used for output data. We found out that number of libraries with 100% relative efficiency among 26 libraries from 2005 to 2007 were only 9, 9 and 10, respectively. Moreover most of the libraries need to increase outputs and decrease inputs in order to improve efficiency.

This paper aims to analyze efficiency of sustainable development of foreign trade in eastern China to reduce the input while maintaining the current output level. This paper adopts relevant input-output indicators of 11 provinces in eastern China from 2016 to 2020 and uses DEA to measure comprehensive efficiency, pure technical efficiency, and scale efficiency from the input perspective. Malmquist index was used to calculate MPI. As a result, from 2016 to 2020, the MPI of all provinces in eastern China was 1.035, higher than 1, and the net technology efficiency was 0.911, lower than 1. Overall, the average technological progress index increased 4.5% to 1.045. It can be seen that the sustainable development efficiency of foreign trade has an overall influence on comprehensive efficiency, net technology efficiency, and scale efficiency. The efficiency of sustainable development of foreign trade in eastern China is mainly limited by its scale. The improvement of MPI in the eastern Region mainly benefits from technological progress. For provinces affected by internal factors, it is suggested to strengthen internal coordination. For provinces affected by external factors, it is suggested to respond appropriately to external factors.

The purpose of this paper is to measure the efficiency of Korean container terminals by using SFA(Stochastic Frontier Analysis). Inputs[Number of Employee, Quay Length, Container Terminal Area, Number of Gantry Crane], and output[TEU] are used for 3 years(2002,2003, and 2004) for 8 Korean container terminals by applying both SFA and DEA models. Empirical main results are as follows: First, Null hypothesis that technical inefficiency is not existed is rejected and in the trasnslog model, the estimate is significant. Second, time-series models show the significant results. Third, average technical efficiency of Korean container terminals are 73.49% in Cobb-Douglas model, and 79.04% in translog model. Fourth, to enhance the technical efficiency, Korean container terminals should increase the handling amount of TEUs. Fifth, both SFA and DEA models have the high Spearman ranking of correlation coefficients(84.45%). The main policy implication based on the findings of this study is that the manager of port investment and management of Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs in Korea should introduce the SFA with DEA models for measuring the efficiency of Korean ports and terminals.

제1차 벤처붐을 겪은 이후 후기에 안정된 기업에 투자를 선호하는 벤처투자방식의 변화가 나타나고 있다. 기업성장단계에서 초기에서 중기에 있는 기업의 경우 자금의 부족을 경험하며, 지속적인 성장을 위해서 정부 R&D자금 지원을 받고 있다. 하지만 정부의 R&D자금 지원이 과연 지속가능성 측면에서 경쟁력이 있는 기업에게 지원되고 있는가에 대한 우려의 목소리가 있다. 본 연구는 제조업에 속하는 벤처기업을 대상으로 DEA 효율성 분석을 실시하였다. 이를 통하여 제조업에 속한 핵심 산업인 ICT제품과 같은 첨단제조와 기계, 자동차와 같은 일반제조에 속한 벤처기업의 효율성을 살펴보고, R&D지원을 받는 벤처기업과 그렇지 않은 기업을 비교분석한다. 추가로 두 집단 간의 특성(혁신성, 성장성, 수익성, 안전성)이 1년간 어떻게 변화하였는지 분석한다. 실증 분석결과, 제조업에 속한 R&D자금을 지원받는 벤처기업의 경우 그렇지 않은 기업보다 효율성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 지원을 받은 벤처기업이 지속가능한 측면에서 비지원기업 보다는 경쟁력이 낮음을 시사한다. 그리고 1년간의 여러 특성의 변화를 살펴본 결과, 혁신성에서는 지원기업이 높은 성과를 창출하였지만, 수익성에 있어서 비지원기업 보다 저조한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 정부의 R&D지원이 지속가능성 측면에서 경쟁력이 있는 기업에게 지원되기 위해서는 기술력뿐만 아니라 경영 효율성을 고려하는 시도가 필요하다.
