Abstract

Assessing the retail industry's efficiency is pivotal for economic growth and corporate productivity. This study employs a novel approach, utilizing a regression-based Stochastic Data Envelopment Analysis (SDEA) model, Balanced Scorecard (BSC), and Decision Tree. The integration of these methods is a pioneering effort in the retail sector. This is a data-driven decision-making framework, aiding managers in predicting efficient and inefficient Decision-Making Units (DMUs). Results from a case study in 44 retail store chains in Iran indicate that the accuracy of the SDEA model is 99%. The Decision Tree highlights low branch efficiency due to a low customer count, a unique finding in comparison to prior studies.
