Abstract

This research investigates the technical efficiency of the micro, small, and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Bandung city as well as investigating the effect of environmental factors on the technical efficiency. The competition and the size of the SMEs are used to measure the environmental factors. This research uses field survey data collected from SMEs operating in Bandung city. Three-stage approach is used in this research. At the first stage, this research applies the data envelopment analysis (DEA) to estimate technical efficiency. At the second stage, this research employs the slack-based approach to estimate the effect of environmental factors on the technical efficiency. At the last stage, the technical efficiency is estimated using the DEA with the adjusted inputs derived from the second stage. This research finds that a significant improvement of the technical efficiency occurs after taking into account the competition and the size of the SMEs. This research also reveals that competition only affects significantly the capital slack. Further, the size of the SMEs affects significantly the slacks of all input variables.

万隆市中小微企业的技术效率与环境因素:基于懒散的分析

本研究对万隆市中小微企业的技术效率进行了调查，并考察了环境因素对技术效率的影响。以中小企业的竞争和规模作为衡量环境因素的指标。本研究采用对万隆市中小企业的实地调查数据。本研究采用三阶段方法。在第一阶段，本研究运用数据包络分析(DEA)来评估技术效率。在第二阶段，本文采用基于松弛的方法评估环境因素对技术效率的影响。在最后阶段，利用DEA对第二阶段调整后的投入进行技术效率估计。研究发现，在考虑竞争和中小企业规模的情况下，技术效率显著提高。研究还发现，竞争仅对资本松弛有显著影响。此外，中小企业的规模显著影响所有输入变量的松弛度。

期刊介绍： The goal of the IJGSB is to explore the opportunities and threats of globalisation for small businesses as well as small businesses" strategic options in an increasingly global world. Dramatic changes in contemporary society and the economy have impacts on small businesses. The changing environment negatively influences the development and survival of smaller organisations in some areas and creates new opportunities for small businesses in others. Small firms" managers increasingly have to cope with global as well as local competitive dimensions. Research in this broad field thus is highly relevant.
