Research Methodologies: A User Approach to “Data Envelopment Analysis” and “Goal Programming”

This book discusses two well known and frequently used as well as required research methodologies viz. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Goal Programming (GP). These research methodologies are used where the factors or variables involved are quantifiable. The synthesis of these research methodologies with another research methodology known as Analytical Network Process (ANP) is also discussed. This book takes a practical approach by demonstrating the use of these research methodologies with the help of assumed data in hypothetical settings.
