relationship among the input and output parameters and wishes to rank them based on their efficiencies. Efficiency for each school is defined as Ratio of Weighted Output to Weighted Input. The weights to the input & output are the decision variables. Each school should assign weights such as to maximize its efficiency‚ subject to the condition that for the defined weights no school has efficiency exceeding 1. The efficiency is a fraction and by defining the input to 1‚ we can convert the problem

saying the manager (the farmer). These two are not exclusive because the introduction of modern technology could not bring the expected shift of production frontier‚ if the existing level of efficiency is low. This implies the need for the integration of modern technologies with improved level of efficiency (Fekadu‚ 2004). If farmers are sufficiently efficient then increases in productivity require new inputs and technology to shift the production possibility frontier upward. But‚ on the other hand

Introduction The management and organizational approaches that are used by various firms play a critical role in their performance. The adopted management approach is important due to the fact that it determines the efficiency with which activities are performed. The organizational structure of the firm on the other hand determines the delegation and application of authority. The organizational structure is developed by the management. The structure facilitates effective interaction among employees

The main purpose of scientific management is to improve labor productivity. In the early 20th century‚ Taylor created
