摘要
In order to evaluate universities from various aspects, we propose a method of utilizing data envelopment analysis (DEA). The management of universities is complex, and it is necessary to find out their strengths and weaknesses so that they may become a better educational institute. In this sense, DEA contributes to the evaluation since it can show the efficiency of universities based on multiple viewpoints. However, when the number of universities evaluated is increased, the results of an evaluation are similar. Therefore, it is difficult to understand the specific points of each university. We propose a method for developing evaluations by adapting the decision-making unit (DMU) to certain viewpoints. The utility and effectiveness of the proposed method are shown by numerical experiments.
