In the paper the author considered estimation of efficiency, which measures the ability of the company to obtain the maximum output from given inputs. The analysis has been carried out by using deterministic method (on the example of the DEA method, Data Envelopment Analysis). The two-step procedure was proposed, namely the returns to scale were specified in the sample and, basing on that, the efficiency of individual enterprises was assessed. In the paper the data from the companies of a key food processing sector in Poland, namely the meat processing, was used. The analysis covered the period 2006–2011, the sample covered from 195 up to 210 enterprises (depending on the analyzed year).

One of the most important criteria dividing countries on developed and developing is technological level of the economy which is a derivative of R&D. We showed in the article, that only a rather small group of voivodships was characterized by a full efficiency of converting the expenditure into effects. Low values of efficiency indices pay attention for all ineffective provinces. It won’t be possible to say about none of them, that it found near the efficiency border which accompanied by large differences between decision making units. The non-radial DEA model showed that both the internal expenditures (in converting into the thousand residents) and the personnel employed in the R+D work are not used efficiently and what’s more in the considerable degree wherein a first of said inputs research units managed by a little more effectively.

The article presents research results on the assessment of an efficiency of selected socially responsible organizations. The key of selection of entities for the research was Respect index introduced by the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Of the 25 organizations included in the index for the analysis organizations from the banking sector were selected. Efficiency assessment was made using DEA method with an application of input oriented CCR model. In the research, the input was represented by the level of employment (in persons), and the result was represented by an amount of loans and advances (in thous. zl). Apart from the division of banks into efficient and inefficient, for inefficient banks, optimal technologies were defined. These banks in order to improve their efficiency should decrease the level of employment. This applies in particular to Bank Handlowy in Warsaw, where the current result in the form of loans and advances could be reached by about 50% lower input.

This article presents results of research on the efficiency of public prosecution organizational units by means of the DEA method. The study covered 45 public prosecution regions, whose technical and cost efficiency were analyzed. It also examined the impact of the returns-to-scale effect on their overall efficiency. Additionally, the authors present potential savings that could be achieved if units considered to be inefficient improved their efficiency. The results obtained show that the DEA method is very useful in analyzing the efficiency of public sector entities when a given service is rendered by more than ten such entities.

Celem badania było porównanie i ocena efektywności technicznej dwóch grup klubów piłkarskich o odmiennej formie prawnej w Polsce, które w sezonach 2013/2014 i 2014/2015 rozgrywały mecze w I lidze piłki nożnej. Do pierwszej grupy zaliczono kluby funkcjonujące jako stowarzyszenia, do drugiej spółki akcyjne. Do określenia efektywności technicznej dwóch grup klubów zastosowano dwa modele metody DEA, tj. CCR oraz BCC, gdzie celem jest minimalizacja nakładów, przy zachowaniu niezmienionych efektów. Modele te pozwalają wskazać możliwość redukcji ponoszonych nakładów bez zmiany poziomu osiąganych efektów. Na podstawie badania stwierdzono, że kluby w formie stowarzyszeń charakteryzują się wyższą efektywnością techniczną. Wyniki wskazują także na istotny wpływ kosztów wynagrodzeń na efektywność ekonomiczną klubów.

The aim of the paper was to assess and compare technical efficiency of two groups of football clubs in Poland with different legal form, which belonged to the first football league in the seasons 2013/14 and 2014/15. The first group was composed of the football clubs functioning as societies, while the second one included clubs acting as joint-stock companies. In order to assess technical efficiency of clubs in both groups, two DEA models have been used: CCR and BCC, assuming cost minimization for given effects. The results suggest that the clubs organized as societies attain a higher technical efficiency compared with the clubs acting as companies. The results also indicate a significant impact of remuneration costs on economic efficiency of football clubs.

Целью исследования было сравнение и оценка технической эффективности двух групп польских футбольных клубов, имеющих разную юридическую форму, которые в сезонах 2013/2014 и 2014/2015 проводили встречи в первой футбольной лиге. К первой группе были причислены клубы, функционирующие в рамках ассоциаций, а ко второй клубы – акционерные общества. Для определения технической эффективности двух групп клубов были применены две модели метода DEA, т.е. CCR и BCC, где целью является минимизация затрат при сохранении тех же эффектов. Эти модели позволяют выявить возможность экономии затрат без изменения уровня достигаемых эффектов. На основа- нии исследования было отмечено, что клубы в форме ассоциаций характеризуются более высокой технической эффективностью. Результаты указывают также на существенное влияние зарплатных издержек на экономическую эффективность клубов.

The article discusses the importance of evaluation in shaping effective public policies. Its purpose is to answer the question of whether and in what conditions evaluations can be a tool for improving the efficiency of public policies. The article has a theoretical nature and is based on studies of both domestic and foreign literature. The analysis presented in the paper shows that from a theoretical point of view the evaluation (along with its methodology and analytical tools) can be an effective instrument for improving the efficiency of public policies. In practice, however, this efficiency mainly depends on such factors as: the model of governance or the mentality of public administration representatives.

The aim of this paper is to present the situation of Polish water utilities from the perspective of cost benchmarking against the background of international experience, and to discuss the merits of using benchmarking with a view to improving water utilities efficiency. The text examines the income side of the issue by focusing on the water tariff levels used by Polish water utilities. The author’s experience is that the first effects of using benchmarking in cost management are achieved after about three years of participating in benchmarking project. Another important threat is the difficulty in finding benchmarking partners or a proper benchmarking project. The third one, in the author’s view the most significant, is an inadequate preparation of benchmarking indicators. The implementation of benchmarking of cost management at Aquanet SA produced measurable results, presented in this paper. It could be concluded, therefore, that using this method of cost management contributes to cost efficiency and, as a result, increases the efficiency of water utilities.

The paper reviews the efficiency of food subsidy in Indonesia based on cost structure analysis. Using the comparison between cost of good of government and cost of good of National Logistics Board appointed to manage and channel the subsidy. The level of efficiency has decreased in the recent years because of increase in costs of exploitation, management cost and interest expense. It is suggested that government has to determine the cut-off point as a feasibility assessment of cost of subsidy.

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric method for evaluating the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) described by multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Since DEA was introduced in the 1970s, it has been widely applied to measure the efficiency of a wide variety of production and operation systems, including two-stage production systems with a series or parallel structure. The outputs from the first stage to the next stage are called intermediate factors (or measures). In some real applications, an intermediate material or some part of it can become the final output or input to the second stage of production. Previously existing models cannot be employed directly to measure the efficiency of such systems. The authors introduce a dynamic DEA model that identifies the structure of flexible intermediate factors to maximise the measure of overall system efficiency.

In the paper the author considered estimation of efficiency, which measures the ability of the company to obtain the maximum output from given inputs. The comparison of results obtained by using two approaches: parametric (on the example of the SFA method, Stochastic Frontier Analysis) and non-parametric (on the example of the DEA method, Data Envelopment Analysis) has been carried out. In the paper the data from the companies of a key food processing sector in Poland, namely the meat processing sector, was used. The analysis covered the period 2006–2011, the sample covered from 195 up to 210 enterprises (depending on the analyzed year).

Technological know-how is a very significant determinant of success that can primarily depend on a systemic, integrated approach to Technology management (TM), on a well-defined and implemented technology strategy, but also on adequate overall socio-environmental characteristics of the technological system. The main tasks of integrated TM are to ensure systematic monitoring, analysis, planning, organizing, controlling, assessment, and effective use of the technological system to more effectively integrate it into a functional entity and to support also other related business goals and processes. This article deals with the specification of key parts of the TM integration with the particular emphasis on the selected specifics of the best technology-integrated companies in the world.

This paper explores the issue of efficiency in Southern European banking by applying the Fourier functional form and the stochastic cost frontier approach in calculating inefficiencies for a large sample of Southern European banks between 1997 and 2003. The findings suggest that the largest sized banks are generally the least efficient, while the smallest sized banks are the most efficient. The strongest economies of scale are displayed by Spanish banks, while the weakest economies of scale are reported by Greek banks. The findings suggest that medium-sized banks report the strongest economies of scale, and the largest and smallest banks weaker economies of scale (ranging between 3,5% and 7%). Therefore, the notion that economies of scale increase with bank size cannot be confirmed. The impact of technical change in reducing bank costs (generally about 3% and 4% per annum) appears to systematically increase with bank size. The largest banks reap greater benefits from technical change. Overall, the results indicate that the largest banks in the sample enjoy greater benefits from technical progress, although they do not have scale economy and efficiency advantages over smaller banks.

The article presents an efficiency evaluation for teaching and research in Polish institutions of higher education. Thirty one public universities in Poland were studied using the nonparametric DEA method from 2001 to 2008. Teaching outcomes were evaluated by the numbers of full-time and part-time graduates, while research activities were assessed by number of publications, citations and value of research grants. The scores for teaching and research efficiency were negatively correlated, which could indicate a trade-off between teaching and research activities.

The article highlights the importance of the influence a product itself has on the broadly understood logistics-related issues, referred to as the logistical efficiency of a product. It constitutes the foundation for the concept of design vulnerability of a product, along with its determinants. The paper shows the impact these determinants have on logistics processes on selected examples from the market. The authors of the article also suggest what actions might be undertaken in the strategic and operational sphere of the company logistics, depending on the design vulnerability of a product.

The systemic transformation in Poland, aimed, among others, at activating market mechanisms, has resulted in a change in the ownership structure and privatization that has accompanied it. Privatization processes are commonly considered to be principally motivated by an increase in efficiency of the economy based on the assumption that efficiency of private enterprises is higher than that of public sector ones. The main aim of the article is to verify the above hypothesis. An analysis of efficiency of public and private sector enterprises, taking into account their organizational and legal forms, made on the basis of Central Statistical Office information, confirmed the above hypothesis. Private enterprises use their assets better and take advantage of the financial leverage mechanism to a larger extent. It should be emphasized, however, that private enterprises are more adversely affected by economic fluctuations caused by the crisis.

The issues of efficiency and equality are key in the discussion of the state’s role in the economy and every day life of citizens. The discussion takes on greater importance in times of economic crisis, when it is more common to exert pressure on raising the commitment of public money in the economy. Adherents of the essential role of the state say that it is necessary to raise all donations, benefits and transfers for the most needy while liberals disagree, saying that the less the state interferes in the economy, the better off the people will be. The aim of this article is to show each side’s arguments and to make an effort to find a consensus in the discussion of efficiency and equality.

This study proposes a new class of exponential-type estimators in simple random sampling for the estimation of the population mean of the study variable using information of the population proportion possessing certain attributes. Theoretically, mean squared error (MSE) equations of the suggested ratio exponential estimators are obtained and compared with the Naik and Gupta (1996) ratio and product estimators, the ratio and product exponential estimator presented in Singh et al. (2007) and the ratio exponential estimators presented in Zaman and Kadilar (2019a). As a result of these comparisons, it is observed that the proposed estimators always produce more efficient results than the others. In addition, these theoretical results are supported by the application of original datasets.

In this paper generalized classes of modified ratio type and regression-cum-ratio type estimators of the finite population mean of the study variable are suggested in the presence of two auxiliary variables in simple random sampling without replacement when the population means of the auxiliary variables are known in advance. Some special cases of the generalized estimators are compared with respect to their biases and efficiencies both theoretically and with the help of some natural populations.

The conception of an act and its evaluation constitute the most interesting and important moral subject which consists of a complex set of theoretical and practical issues. The article includes St. Thomas’ conception of the definition of the goodness of an act, Tatarkiewicz’s theory of rightness of an act as a source of its evaluation as well as Kotarbinski’s considerations which deal with the analysis of an act from an efficiency perspective. They have all contributed to the definitione of an act in its several variants and provided the possibility of classification of evaluation of an act on the ethical and praxeological plane.
