This paper examines the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology from a cognitive perspective. Specifically, it analyzes (a) the role of DEA scores as an overall efficiency measure and (b) to what extent the presence of DEA scores for a non-financial performance appraisal influences a posterior financial performance assessment. The study confirms that the efficiency score acts as a strong performance marker when deciding on which decision making units (DMUs) should be awarded for their non-financial performance. Furthermore, it shows that the results of the non-financial performance evaluation may act as an anchor which significantly influences a posterior financial assessment. These insights have practical consequences for planning, reporting, and controlling processes that incorporate DEA efficiency scores.

The purpose of this study is to determine there is a difference of efficiency in terms of income and intermediation between shariah banks and conventional banks during 2012-2015. Efficiency is a measure of bank performance which describes the optimal output level conditions with the level of the current input. The measurement of efficiency in this study usesDEA with CRS assumption. This study uses 22 shariah banks and conventional banks which are the same size in terms of core capital, grouped based on corresponding business activities banks group (BUKU). Then, they are tested by using different independent sample t-test andMann-Whitney Test. Financial performance assessment for the banks uses four input variables and four output variables. A comparative analysis conducted showed that there were no differences in the efficiency of shariah banks and conventional banks. While on the intermediation there are significant differences between the two groups of banks.

The authors applied the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assess the performance of the heat supply system in the city of Krasnoyarsk. The article provides a detailed description of the DEA method, its positive sides and shortcomings. The research included a comparative analysis of performance assessment methods in terms of advantages and disadvantages. The DEA method proved the most convenient tool for measuring the production efficiency of an object. The authors modified the architecture of the universal decision support system into a DEA-based one. The DEA method also proved highly efficient in assessing the performance of the heat supply system in the city of Krasnoyarsk. The analysis made it possible to develop recommendations to improve the efficiency of the local heat supply system using the case of thirteen unites, e.g. boilers, heat and power plants, etc. The input indicator was represented by the available heat capacity. Heat output to the grid and emission mass were used as output indicators. Based on the available initial data, the authors constructed an output-oriented model for analyzing the functioning environment with one input and two outputs. They identified inefficient units of the Krasnoyarsk heat supply system and proposed optimization of input and output values for each unit to improve the functioning of the heat supply system as a whole. The developed for the upgrading of boilers and heat and power plants had an efficiency index in the range up to 1.
