Part of the book series: International Series in Operations Research & Management Science ((ISOR,volume 215))

Abstract

Research in university is an essential part for national competitiveness and the foundation of knowledge and information of a society. This study assumed that the effective operation of limited resources by size of universities would be the plan for maximizing their effectiveness, and suggested grouping of similar universities by establishing a new classifying system. Based on new classifying system the current status of universities is assessed to help concentration on research activities for their target.

In this study, four models such as high efficiency expanding model (HEEM), high efficiency stable model (HESM), low efficiency stable model (LESM) and low efficiency expanding model (LEEM) were suggested through a practical analysis.

This chapter is based on the Ph.D. thesis of Dr. Jong-Woun Youn.
