The purpose of this research is to analyze efficiencies of project management offices (PMOs) using the data envelopment analysis (DEA). As the post-analysis of the efficiency analysis, the causal factors affecting the efficiencies of PMOs were tested. 87 PMOs were used to analyze their efficiencies. In the constant returns-to-scale model, 11 PMOs were completely efficient and 76 PMOs were inefficient. In the variable returns-to-scale (VRS) model, 26 PMOs were efficient and 61 PMOs were inefficient. The efficiency analysis by the DEA has the advantage of deriving the scale efficiency for each DMU. From the result of the post-analysis, it was found that the PMO efficiency was positively influenced by the project portfolio management maturity (PPMM) and the degree of strategic alignments with the business goals. In conclusion, by improving PPMM and strengthening the strategic alignments with business goals, higher efficiency and performance of the PMO can be expected.

This study analyzes the performance efficiency of six selected banks in Nigeria for the period 2010 – 2016. DEA window analysis was employed to establish the performance efficiency of the selected banks. The analysis is based on panel data for the period under review. The result of the DEA window analysis for the reviewed period showed that the average efficiency scores under constant returns to scale ranged from 84% to 91%. Under the variable returns to scale, the average efficiency scores ranged from 91% to 95%. The average inefficiency of the selected Nigeria commercial banks under the constant returns to scale model was in the range 9 – 16%. This inefficiency could be attributed to the excess of customers deposits on the balance sheet of the selected banks. The average scale efficiency for the banks was 93%. Guaranty Trust Bank was the most efficient bank on all measures. United Bank for Africa was the most inefficient bank under constant returns to scale and variable returns to scale. It was however, more scale efficient than three other banks, an indication that its inefficiency cannot be attributed to inappropriate scale size.

Non-ferrous metals are widely used as basic materials in various industrial fields, and zinc is a metal that is produced and used next to iron, aluminum, and copper. In this study, DEA (data envelopment analysis) was applied to measure the efficiency of 43 zinc smelters in three countries in East Asia: Korea, China, and Japan. The constant returns to scale (CRS) and the variable returns to scale (VRS) models, and the slack-based measure (SBM) were used for the analysis. As a result of the efficiency analysis, there were three efficient zinc smelters in the CRS model, 14 in the VRS model and 14 in the SBM. The average efficiency was 0.458 based on the SBM, which indicates that there is room for improvement in efficiency. In addition, the average scale efficiency value was 0.689, showing the scale to be inefficient. Therefore, it can be seen that the labor cost and the energy cost must be brought to an appropriate level. The Tobit regression analysis was used to analyze the causes of efficiency. The greater the capacity and the larger amount of bonus Zn of the refinery, the higher the efficiency of the refinery.

Whilst a broad range of project portfolio management (PPM) tools is developed to enable and automate the PPM processes, there is a limited understanding of the factors affecting their adoption and deployment in organizations. This research presents a systematic approach that integrates the topic modeling with technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework to identify the salient factors affecting the adoption of PPM software from online software reviews. The proposed approach consists of four main steps: reviews collection and preprocessing, factors prediction, factors ranking, and factors integration into TOE framework. The online software reviews used in this study were gathered from Gartner and included 877 reviews for 13 widely used PPM software tools. The results of this research revealed that several factors could affect the adoption decision of PPM software in organizations. These results provide several theoretical and practical implications, and thus should help both researchers and practitioners in the deployment of more user-accepted PPM software and practices.

As they strive towards greater professionalism in carrying out their activities, non-profit organizations (NPOs) have begun paying attention to project management. The non-profit sector (NPS) has also begun to adopt strategic planning techniques, thus making the acceptance of project portfolio management (PPM) methodology a natural consequence. This article aims to propose a project portfolio management model adapted to the context of NPOs.
