Efficiency analysis of plantation companies in Malaysia: a data development analysis application / Mohd Nor Fikri Md Razali

This paper presents a research study on the efficiency performance of the oil palm companies in Malaysia. A total of 20 performance companies from oil palm plantation sector listed in Bursa Malaysia were used the efficiency strength and return to scale analysis. The input oriented Data Envelopment A...
