On the use of archetypes as benchmarks (2008, unknown): “From such quantitative perspective, benchmarking has been defined as a process of identifying valid measures of performance comparison among peer performers, using them to determine the relative positions of the units and, ultimately, establishing standards of excellence [8].”
Beyond frontiers: comparing the efficiency of higher education decision‐making units across more than one country (2009, methodology): “All the results presented in this paper are obtained using DEA Excel Solver© (see Zhu, 2003). 11.

Obviously, the product between the average BCC and average scale efficiency does not calculate the average CCR (this ex”
