지역축협의 경영효율성 향상방안에 관한 연구 －중소도시형 지역축협을 중심으로－

This study suggests the method of improvement of the management efficiency regarding local livestock cooperatives. Taking the 52 local livestock cooperatives of the small and medium-sized cities throughout the country as a sample, the data between 2011 and 2013 is averaged. Then, the static analysis and dynamic analysis are performed. Through the precedent study and documentary study, number of employee, sales cost, management cost, and investment payment are selected as input variables while economic business, average outstanding loan, average outstanding deposit, and business profit/loss are selected as output variables. Using DEA model, the efficiency is analyzed based on the input in order to determine whether the inefficiency was caused by efficiency of scale or by efficiency of pure technology. According to the result of the analysis, in the aspect of economy of scale, 23% of the local livestock cooperatives need a constant return to scale(CRS), 6% of the local livestock cooperatives need a decrease return to scale(DRS), and 71% of the local livestock cooperatives need an increase return to scale(IRS). It appears that 77% of the local livestock cooperatives that do not attain the economy of scale needed to benchmark the reference local livestock cooperatives in order to enhance the efficiency. Using Window model and observing the change in efficiency in recent 3 years, the efficiency seems very stable. Finally, target values that are needed for the management efficiency improvement are suggested by each DMU, which has input and output factors.
