Abstract

Precedent research based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been conducted to rank and benchmark the achievements of participating nations/regions in the Olympics, while this paper contributes to the Asian Games, with further concerns on two main issues, namely the common comparison basis for ranking decision making units (DMUs) and the reference feasibility between the inefficient DMUs and their benchmark targets. This paper extends previous DEA research by introducing an improved context-dependent DEA model, in which empirical results establish a unique and fair ranking system for all participating nations/regions, implying two corresponding suggestions for rank improvement. A series of stepwise learning targets are further identified, alternatively providing a gradual performance improvement path for the inefficient participants. The above results will be helpful for strategic decision making in sport management of the Asian nations/regions.
