Article: Assessment of MBA Programs via Data Envelopment Analysis Journal: Journal of Business and Management (JBM) 1997 Vol.5 No.1 pp.77 - 91 Abstract: This research presents a technique to assess the relative desirability of AACSB-accredited MBA programs via an Operations Research-based tool called Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Several attributes of these MBA programs are incorporated into a set of linear programming problems, ultimately determining which programs are most desirable in terms of these attributes. The research finds that of 188 AACSB-accredited MBA programs studied, several possess characteristics that are dominant over others.
