Abstract

Explaining the course of technical efficiency and determining factors which might affect it, have been for a long time, and continue to be, one of the most important topics of economic literature. In response to this most important question, and with the increase in data availability, economic literature has shown a resurgence of interest in testing and quantifying various theories of economic growth and explaining technical efficiency growth. The basic aim of this chapter is the analysis of supply chain management technical efficiency and benchmark logistic activities, regarding technical efficiency attainment levels. The related challenge is to define a robust approach towards empirical implementation and defining the most adequate and reliable methods to put into practice.
