Abstract:

High-quality development is an important theme for China's economic development at present and in the coming period. It is also an important guarantee for the realization of Chinese-style modernization. As an important microeconomic entity in China, enterprises play an important role in driving China's economic development. High-quality growth of enterprises is crucial to realizing high-quality development of the Chinese economy. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to explore the theoretical and practical issues of realizing high-quality growth of enterprises.Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an important technical tool to analyze the quality and efficiency of enterprises. DEA projection analysis is the most prominent highlight and advantage of this method. The traditional DEA model takes the production frontier constructed by effective decision-making units as a reference, and the effective level that decision-making units may reach can be predicted through DEA projection, which gives the direction and degree of adjustment of each evaluation index, and has a very prominent advantage. However, the DEA projection method also has some aspects that need to be improved.First of all, DEA projection can only provide effective improvement strategies for ineffective decision-making units, but cannot provide references for the stage-by-stage improvement goals of ineffective units. For example, the annual growth targets of listed companies in China are not always DEA effective, and DEA projection cannot provide improvement strategies for such targets. Second, in many cases, decision units are not always improved to DEA effective. For example, not every ordinary person can become a world champion through training. In fact, the probability of an average person becoming a world champion is negligible. If some almost unattainable goals are used as a guide for the decision unit's behavior, this will not only seriously mislead the decision unit's strategy formulation, but also may cause significant damage to the decision unit. Finally, the improvement information given by the DEA prediction also suffers from oversimplification of the improvement information and poor operability of the improvement program. In order to further solve the shortcomings of the DEA projection method and provide enterprises with improvement strategies based on a variety of expected goals, a DEA model is proposed based on different efficiency improvement goals. Then, the DEA projection formula based on different efficiency improvement goals is given. Secondly, a quantitative method for measuring the difficulty of efficiency improvement and technological innovation of decision-making units is proposed, and furthermore, the improvement strategies of decision-making units under multiple efficiency objectives are given. Finally, the method is applied to analyze the efficiency status and growth trend of Chinese Internet listed companies from 2018 to 2022. The results show that the method of this paper not only optimizes the traditional DEA projection method, but also enriches the inverse DEA model system, and provides technical support and reference for enterprises to achieve high-quality growth.

Key words: technological innovation, efficiency improvement, technological path of high-quality growth for enterprises, inverse DEA model, panel data
