Prove it! : how to create a high-performance culture and measurable success
Inspire performance and prove your leadership impact Prove It! is the executive guide to improving organisational performance through the practice of evidence-based leadership. More than ever before, the world is demanding transparency and accountability from organisational leaders, and there is a growing push to hold leaders responsible for the performance of their organisation. Many executives panic at the thought of what transparency might reveal and how they might be held accountable, but others relish the opportunity to showcase their organisation's performance. The difference is in the leadership methodology. The best leaders already know how their organisation is performing, and that it has improved during their tenure and they can prove it because they practise evidence-based leadership. This book offers a clear blueprint for building on your existing skills and performance management systems to build a truly high performance organisation. Just three personal leadership habits and three organisation-wide habits can transform your organisation into the powerhouse you know it can be.

Data Envelopment Analysis
Using the neo-classical theory of production economics as the analytical framework, this book, first published in 2004, provides a unified and easily comprehensible, yet fairly rigorous, exposition of the core literature on data envelopment analysis (DEA) for readers based in different disciplines. The various DEA models are developed as nonparametric alternatives to the econometric models. Apart from the standard fare consisting of the basic input- and output-oriented DEA models formulated by Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes, and Banker, Charnes, and Cooper, the book covers developments such as the directional distance function, free disposal hull (FDH) analysis, non-radial measures of efficiency, multiplier bounds, mergers and break-up of firms, and measurement of productivity change through the Malmquist total factor productivity index. The chapter on efficiency measurement using market prices provides the critical link between DEA and the neo-classical theory of a competitive firm. The book also covers several forms of stochastic DEA in detail.

Measuring Efficiency in Health Care
With the healthcare sector accounting for a sizeable proportion of national expenditures, the pursuit of efficiency has become a central objective of policymakers within most health systems. However, the analysis and measurement of efficiency is a complex undertaking, not least due to the multiple objectives of health care organizations and the many gaps in information systems. In response to this complexity, research in organizational efficiency analysis has flourished. This 2006 book examines some of the most important techniques currently available to measure the efficiency of systems and organizations, including data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis, and also presents some promising new methodological approaches. Such techniques offer the prospect of many new and fruitful insights into health care performance. Nevertheless, they also pose many practical and methodological challenges. This is an important critical assessment of the strengths and limitations of efficiency analysis applied to health and health care.

Hochschuleffizienz -- Konzeptionelle Herausforderungen und lösungsansätze Aus Sicht der Betriebswirtschaftlichen Forschung
Long description:
Das Forschungsprojekt Higher Education Global Efficiency Analysis (HELENA) wurde vor dem Hintergrund initiiert, dass die Effizienz von Hochschulen häufig gefordert oder gar vorausgesetzt, jedoch selten kritisch hinterfragt und wissenschaftlich analysiert wird. Daher zielte das Forschungsprojekt darauf ab, Lehr- und Forschungsprozesse an Hochschulen aus ökonomischer, vor allem aus betriebswirtschaftlicher Sicht mit wissenschaftlichen Methoden zu untersuchen. Die Effizienzanalyse von Hochschulen wird derzeit maßgeblich durch das Führungsparadigma des sogenannten New Public Management bestimmt. Es zielt darauf ab, die jeweils erzielten Ergebnisse (je nach Sichtweise Outputs oder Outcomes) der Dienstleistungsprozesse im Hochschulbereich mit den hierfür erfolgten Ressourceneinsätzen (Inputs) zu vergleichen.
In diesem Werk werden wesentliche Ergebnisse des Forschungsprojekts der interessierten Fachöffentlichkeit vorgestellt. Sie erstrecken sich nicht nur auf grundlegende Beiträge zur Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), die als mathematisch anspruchsvolle Analysetechnik zur Effizienzbeurteilung von vor allem Non-Profit-Organisationen international weit verbreitet ist. Im Fokus stehen vielmehr hochschulspezifische Details, wie die korrekte Erfassung von Inputs und Outputs oder Outcomes im Kontext der Dienstleistungsproduktion an Hochschulen. Weitere hochschulspezifische Aspekte der Effizienzanalyse, wie beispielsweise die Einflüsse institutioneller und organisatorischer Determinanten, werden ausführlich gewürdigt.
Es fehlt auch nicht an einer (selbst-)kritischen Analyse, in welchem Ausmaß quantitative Analysetechniken wie die DEA und Managementkonzepte wie das New Public Management geeignet sind, um die Dienstleistungsproduktion an Hochschulen ganzheitlich, vor allem auch in qualitativer Hinsicht angemessen zu beurteilen.
