Abstract

Evaluating the efficiency of the scientific research system which consists of two sub-systems as scientific research and the transformation of research activities is crucial. This study aims to examine the research and entrepreneurial efficiency of 50 Turkish universities for the year 2022 using data of Council of Higher Education (CHE) and Entrepreneurial and Innovative University Index. For this purpose, Network Data Envelopment Analysis (NDEA) was used to analyze the research efficiency and the entrepreneurial efficiency of the universities and then these universities are clustered by hierarchical cluster analysis. Findings reveal that Eskişehir Technical University is the best in overall efficiency and research efficiency and Hasan Kalyoncu University is the best in entrepreneurial efficiency. After that the universities were clustered according to their research efficiency and entrepreneurial efficiency values as Good Performers, Researchers, Entrepreneurs and Strivers. To the best of our knowledge this is the first study using considering the research efficiency and entrepreneurial efficiency of Turkish universities using network DEA and cluster analysis.

期刊介绍： The purpose of the International Journal of Educational Development is to foster critical debate about the role that education plays in development. IJED seeks both to develop new theoretical insights into the education-development relationship and new understandings of the extent and nature of educational change in diverse settings. It stresses the importance of understanding the interplay of local, national, regional and global contexts and dynamics in shaping education and development. Orthodox notions of development as being about growth, industrialisation or poverty reduction are increasingly questioned. There are competing accounts that stress the human dimensions of development.
