Emrouznejad, A. and E. Cabanda (2010). “An aggregate measure of financial ratios using a multiplicative DEA model.” International Journal of Financial Services Management 4(2): 114 – 126.

This paper examines the problems in the definition of the General Non-Parametric Corporate Performance (GNCP) and introduces a multiplicative linear programming as an alternative model for corporate performance. We verified and tested a statistically significant difference between the two models based on the application of 27 UK industries using six performance ratios. Our new model is found to be a more robust performance model than the previous standard Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model.
