Measurement of Performance of Companies Operating in the Medical Sector and Multi-Compliance Analysis with Qualitative Company Characteristics

Abstract

Innovative activities and patent applications in the world are commonly carried out in the medical sector. Turkey, in recent years, aims to be able to produce high technology products and also to take part in global markets via an innovative perspective. To reach this aim, it needs the firms operating in the sector to efficiently utilize their sources that would provide their presences, and take a measure by detecting characteristics that may cause inefficiency. In this research scope, the performances of the innovation and export of the firms operating in Samsun's medical sector have been calculated as relative to each other by data envelopment analysis and revealed the relationships between the performance level variables and the variables that reflect the qualitative characteristics. Finally, the multiple-correspondence relation between the variables that are significantly correlated with the export and innovation efficiencies and levels of these variables has been detected. Thus, an example research providing the decision makers evaluating the negatives of their own firm performance has been exhibited.
