PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF TAIWANESE INTERNATIONAL TOURIST HOTELS: EVIDENCE FROM A MODIFIED NDEA MODEL WITH ICA TECHNIQUE
研究用两阶段网络DEA模型结合独立成分分析技术，评估台湾国际观光酒店的管理绩效，发现利润维度显著拖累运营绩效，改进模型比传统模型有更高区分能力。
The motivation for this study is to assess the managerial performance in Taiwanese international tourist hotels based on the two-stage NDEA performance mechanism with ICA technique for enhancing the discriminatory power of performance evaluation model. The two-stage managerial performance structure is applied, incorporating the service production and service operation stages, as a reduced form to introduce the relatively complex business environment of modern enterprise. However, we have need to be considerable of dimensionality curse problem in NDEA performance model. A modified NDEA-based evaluation model, therefore, is proposed to integrate the network slacks-based measure (NSBM) with a dimensional reduction technique, the independent component analysis (ICA). The results indicate that the performance of the profit dimension significantly hampers operational performance, and that both regulators and managers must adjust their market orientation business strategy. Moreover, compared with the NSBM model, this modified ICA-NSBM performance model has a high discriminatory ability to measure the relative performance of the selected hotels.
