Performance Benchmarking
"In this book, Peter Bogetoft - THE expert on the theory and practice of benchmarking - provides an in–depth yet very accessible and readable explanation of the best way to do benchmarking, starting from the ground up." Rick Antle William S. Beinecke Professor of Accounting, Yale School of Management CFO, Compensation Valuation, Inc. "I highly recommend this well-written and comprehensive book on measuring and managing performance. Dr. Bogetoft summarizes the fundamental mathematical concepts in an elegant, intuitive, and understandable way." Jon A. Chilingerian Professor, Brandeis University and INSEAD "Bogetoft gives in his book Performance Benchmarking an excellent introduction to the m...
Planning with Multiple Criteria
This book develops an operational framework for planning which integrates the concepts of values, objectives, criteria, preferences, conflicts and decisions. In particular, it provides guidelines for how to choose between alternative actions so as to obtain the best balance between the multiple criteria we choose to represent our objectives and underlying values. The book is intended for all who are interested in the theory and practice of planning itself as a purposeful activity in social systems. A major target group consists of those researchers and practitioners who are attempting to integrate soft and hard systems approaches to planning and in particular, those interested in relating mu...

The Efficiency of Educational Production
Focusing in particular on upper secondary education, this paper examines whether the relatively high level of expenditure on education in the Nordic countries is matched by high output from the educational sector, both in terms of student enrolment and indicators of output quality in the form of graduation/completion rates and expected earnings after completed education. We use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to compare (benchmark) the Nordic countries with a relevant group of rich OECD countries and calculate input efficiency scores for each country. We estimate a wide range of specifications in order to analyse different aspects of efficiency. In purely quantitative models (where inputs an...
Cooperatives and Payment Schemes
Cooperatives and cooperative payment schemes, cost, and profit sharing rules are found in all sectors of society - including law and consultancy, insurance and finance, health, housing, utility, and, of course, agriculture. This book develops an economic framework for assessing different cooperative payment schemes. First, a number of relevant criteria (properties) are defined, then the book analyzes how well different schemes fulfill these criteria under alternative production and market conditions. The book is aimed at professionals involved in the design and use of payment schemes, as well as students and researchers at universities. The book includes a number of practical examples from the agro-industrial sector. The criteria and schemes are also illustrated with simple numerical examples and graphics. For the more technically minded, there are specially highlighted sections containing formalized mathematical presentations.
