Abstract:

In practice, a common problem faced by managers is how to motivate decision-making units (DMU) to improve their performance by means of cost compensation. It is especially common in the problems of cost supervision and price mechanism in the monopoly industry and public welfare service industry. The existing cost compensation studies do not provide sufficient positive incentives for effect DMUs, and also do not consider the non-cooperative game relationship that often occurs among DMUs in the face of interests. Therefore, dynamic non-cooperative game is combined with super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) and a dynamic game super-efficiency DEA algorithm with bidirectional incentive effect is proposed. The convergence of the algorithm is proved and the optimal solution is a unique Nash equilibrium point. The proposed method is applied to 25 provincial-level power grid enterprises of a power grid group in China from 2016 to 2019, and the effectiveness of the method is verified. The results of the case study show that: 1) The operating efficiency of power grid enterprises in different regions is significantly different, and the motivation of performance improvement is not strong; 2) The proposed cost compensation scheme can generate positive or negative incentives for DMU with different performance, and the proposed method is helpful to strengthen the motivation of DMUs to actively improve their performance.It further enriches the DEA theoretical research of cost compensation for incentives and provides an effective management tool for relevant managers in this study.
