Are Universities in Taiwan Less Efficient than Top Universities in the World?

The world has put an increasing emphasis on the university ranking system in the last decade. However, only one university in Taiwan has once dashed into the top 100 league of the world ranking system. The Taiwan Government has blamed the higher educational institutions in Taiwan for less efficient, while many scholars attribute the major cause to the insufficient investment in the higher educational system. This research thus endeavored to compare the efficiency among universities in Taiwan and those in the world. DEA and AHP were adopted as main research methods. The research results indicated that Taiwan universities were efficient when comparing with their world counterparts.
