The topic of business failure is important because it can be used as a basis for policy making by stakeholders in a company or government. The results of business failure predictions can be used as company managers to take preventive measures for business failure. This study aim is to study the literature regarding the methods and results of predicting business failure from various sectors and regions. We used PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses) for conducting this research. As the result, we found twelve statistical methods for business failure prediction, including Hybrid Failure Prediction (HFP), Altman’s Z-score Model, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Logistic Regression (LR), Neural Networks (NN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Kernel Fuzzy C-Means (KFCM), IN01, IN05, Ohlson Model, Cart-Based Model and Cash-Flow-Based Measures. The highest result obtained by using cart-based model for dataset of financial indicators of Slovak companies with 92,00% accuracy.

In this paper the author investigates whether technical efficiency is an important ex-ante predictor of business failure. The author uses samples of Indian textiles, wood, computers and related activities and R&D companies to obtain efficiency estimates for individual firms in each industry. These efficiency measures are derived from a directional technology distance function constructed empirically using non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methods. Estimating standard probit and logit regression models the author finds that efficiency has significant explanatory power in predicting the likelihood of default over and above the effect of standard financial indicators.

Financial ratios are used in a variety of ways today. Empirical research is getting bigger, with a special focus on predicting business failure, the strength of a company, investment decision making, etc. This chapter focuses on two methodologies suitable to deal with many data to evaluate business performance. They are data envelopment analysis and grey relational analysis. The empirical part of the chapter conducts an empirical analysis with the aforementioned two approaches. Firms are ranked based on their performances and detailed interpretations are obtained so that managers within businesses can get useful information on how to utilize such an approach to modelling. This study implicates that using the two mentioned approaches can be useful when making investment decisions based on many data available for the decision maker. This is due to the methodology being suitable to handle big data and correctly quantifying the overall financial performance of a company.

The failure of most startups in Indonesia is caused by team performance that is not solid and competent. Programmers are an integral profession in a startup team. The development of social media can be used as a strategic tool for recruiting the best programmer candidates in a company. This strategic tool is in the form of an automatic classification system of social media posting from prospective programmers. The classification results are expected to be able to predict the performance patterns of each candidate with a predicate of good or bad performance. The classification method with the best accuracy needs to be chosen in order to get an effective strategic tool so that a comparison of several methods is needed. This study compares classification methods including the Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithm, Random Forest (RF) and Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). The classification results show the percentage of accuracy with k = 10 cross validation for the SVM algorithm reaches 81.3%, RF at 74.4%, and SGD at 80.1% so that the SVM method is chosen as a model of programmer performance classification on social media activities.
