Over the past two decades, quite a few scientists agree that global warming is real, it¡¦s already happening and that it is the result of our activities and not a natural occurrence. The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable. Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. Recently, government, non-profit organizations and firms put great emphasis on environmental issues. They also encourage those firms to develop alternative energy technologies. For example, the American government wants to invest $150 billion over the next ten years to catalyze private efforts to build a clean energy future. A lot of excellent companies put great emphasis on green supply chain. Some firms try to do some research and development on alternative energy technologies. In this way, these companies can enhance business efficiency and competitiveness, providing better productivity and process. Many manufacturing firms have tried to introduce alternative energy technology to improve its operation performance and to keep its competitive advantages. Nevertheless, introducing and evaluating alternative energy technology are quite demanding, difficulties being both conceptual and operational. At the same time, firms need to adjust the internal processes. In this way, adopting alternative energy technologies become a very challenging task. In this thesis, the criterion was sifted by using an Analysis Hierarchy Process (AHP) to develop a general framework for evaluating and introducing alternative energy technology into a manufacturing firm is presented.

The global climate anomalies lead to significant disaster. Governments have attached great importance to develop related strategies. In 2009, climate change conference were held in Copenhagen, which gathered 194 representatives of member states to discuss the next phase in response to climate changing. The United States, China and other nation¡¦s leaders attend this conference, which shows the importance of the meeting. On the other hand, corporates started to focus on the green energy technology. On business efficiency and competitiveness, the enterprises for the timely introduction of green energy technology, may be able to provide better production and manufacturing. However, for enterprises to import new technology is often associated with high costs and high risks. Therefore, imported green energy technology has become a very challenging task. For the solar industry, as oil prices coupled with the rise of environmental awareness. The solar industry growth can be expected. Therefore, this study design AHP (Analysis Hierarchy Process, AHP) questionnaire for experts and scholars, government agencies and related companies conducted a questionnaire survey. Developing a general framework for evaluating and introducing solar energy technology into a technology company is presented. The results showed that a lot of experts put great emphasis on the gradual trend of green production. Cost criterions are also as the key consideration for those companies to import solar installation. For example, they consider the implementation costs and maintenance costs when those companies need to introduce solar energy equipment. Most important part is the policy criterion which is the key consideration for those companies. In the future, we need more experts and scholars, government agencies and related companies to do more efforts and promotion to this industry.

本研究旨在運用資料包絡法(data envelopment analysis, DEA)分析「教育部公私立大學校務資訊評鑑系統」中90至92學年度我國50所大學校院在研究與教學上之經營效率。研究問題有四：(1)國內大學校院教學與研究之投入與產出性指標系統分別為何？(2)國內各大學校院之相對效率值為何？改進策略為何？(3)國內各大學校院之發展類型為何？(4)國內各大學校院之發展趨勢為何？本研究考量投入項與產出項之重要性，編製「評估我國大學校院之發展策略指標權重專家調查問卷」以國內30位高等教育行政主管為調查對象進行層級分析取得指標相對權重，並套用於確定區域模式進行效率值之估算。指標係依據文獻探討與積差相關的同向性檢定，在研究效率上選擇6個投入項及5個產出項；在教學效率上選擇7個投入項及2個產出項。所使用之統計分析包括：積差相關、層級分析法、資料包絡法(效率分析、差額變數分析、參考集合分析、Malmquist 生產力指數)、Kruska-Wallis H檢定、Mann-Whitney U檢定、Tobit迴歸。 本研究得到以下六項結論： 一、本研究依大學生產關係架構所擬定之20項指標經相關分析、專家權重以及資料包絡法三種層面之分析，可作為以效率觀點評估我國經營效率的指標系統。 二、研究投入資源重專任副教授以上人數，研究產出重專任教師發表重要期刊論文篇數；教學投入資源重專兼任教師人數，然而，授課時數與約當畢業生人數在教學產出上同等重要。 三、三個學年度間，研究面向中有5校均為整體技術有效率，40校均為整體技術無效率；教學面向中有1校均為整體技術有效率，48校均為整體技術無效率。研究與教學無效率之原因均導因於純技術無效率，分別約浪費22.4%-27.2%以及26%-27.3%的投入資源，規模無效率影響較小。 四、不同權屬別對於整體技術效率之影響，主要源自於純技術效率；不同學校規模對於整體技術效率無影響，其係綜合學校規模越大純技術效率越差，但相對規模效率越佳的結果。 五、國內各大學校院發展，研究型大學以國立大學與醫學校院為主；教學型大學以師範校院與私立大學為主。 六、就三個學年度發展趨勢，整體而言研究效率提升，教學效率衰退，而各大學發展趨勢除整體技術效率略有消長外，35校在三個學年度發展類型均為一致。 / The purpose of this study is to assess the research and teaching productivities of 50 Taiwanese universities and colleges over the period of academic years 2001-2003. Research questions include: (1)What is the index system to assess school performance? (2)How many efficiency scores do these schools get? Inefficient units can implement what kinds of improvement to achieve efficiency? (3)What are their development styles? (4)What are their development tendencies? In order to consider weight restriction on inputs and outputs, author compiles “the expert questionnaire of assessing development strategy in Taiwanese universities and colleges”, and invites 30 specialists to answer, including 15 principals in higher education institutes and superintendents from Ministry of Education and 15 professors majoring in this field. Assurance region model with weigh indexes is used to calculate the whole efficiency scores. According to the result of literature reviewing and isotonicity test, author picks out 6 inputs and 5 outputs in research dimension and 7 inputs and 2 outputs in teaching dimension. Some statistic methods are used, including Pearson correlations, analytic hierarchy process, data envelopment analysis, Kruska-Wallis H test, Mann-Whitney U test and Tobit regression. Results based on data show as follows: 1. Through statistic analysis, those indexes the author drafts can be used to assess the productivity of Taiwanese higher education institutes practically. 2. In research dimension, the most important input is the number of assist professor, output is academic paper accepted by prestigious journals. Besides, in teaching dimension, the most important input is the number of faculty; however, the amount of class hours is equal to the amount of graduates on output part. 3. In research dimension over three academic years, 5 schools were efficient in each year; however, 40 schools were inefficient in each year. Furthermore, in teaching dimension, only 1 school was efficient in each year; in contrast, 48 schools were inefficient. Both of research and teaching inefficiency mainly came from pure technical inefficiency, wasted 22.4%-27.2% and 26%-27.3% separately. 4. The effect of different authorities upon the efficiency mainly came from the pure technical efficiency. In addition, because of the effect mixed pure technical efficiency (PTE) with scale efficiency (SE) the effect of the different school scale upon the efficiency was non-significant. 5. Research universities are mostly from national universities and medical colleges. In contrast, teaching universities are mostly from private universities and normal colleges. 6. As a whole, research efficiency score grows but declines in teaching. Beside of some fluctuations on efficiency score, there are 35 schools maintain their development styles stably.

nÃo hà / O Plano de Desenvolvimento SustentÃvel do estado do CearÃ, elaborado e implementado em 1995, introduziu o conceito de Desenvolvimento SustentÃvel (DS) na seara das polÃticas pÃblicas cearenses e propÃs que a base de sua formaÃÃo fosse de maneira participativa e democrÃtica, constatando-se, assim, o despertar para a prÃtica da governanÃa. Sabe-se que a anÃlise da governanÃa apoia-se na base do conceito de DS, pois, està voltada para a elaboraÃÃo de polÃticas com diretrizes e normas direcionadas a todos os atores sociais na tentativa de amenizar e/ou finalizar os conflitos sociais alÃm de tornar bem visÃvel a participaÃÃo ativa da populaÃÃo nas tomadas de decisÃo do governo. O Banco Mundial considera governanÃa como sendo a capacidade do governo de formular e implementar polÃticas pÃblicas sÃlidas e com eficÃcia, para tanto, propÃe seis princÃpios para avaliar a Boa GovernanÃa: Voz e responsabilizaÃÃo, Estabilidade PolÃtica e AusÃncia de ViolÃncia/Terrorismo, EficÃcia Governamental, Qualidade RegulatÃria, Estado de Direito e Controle da CorrupÃÃo. Em 2003, o Programa Selo MunicÃpio Verde do estado do Cearà (PSMV) foi formulado e implementado com a finalidade de atribuir uma certificaÃÃo ambiental pÃblica que operacionalizasse o DS em nÃvel local. Dessa maneira, o PSMV pode deter instrumentos que possibilitem a garantia de uma Boa GovernanÃa para o DS, promover o envolvimento de todos os atores sociais alÃm de possibilitar a participaÃÃo ativa da populaÃÃo nas tomadas de decisÃo do governo. Nesse contexto, a atual pesquisa objetiva analisar o nÃvel de implementaÃÃo dos princÃpios da Boa GovernanÃa nas polÃticas pÃblicas para o desenvolvimento sustentÃvel no estado do Cearà com uma visÃo a partir do PSMV. Para tanto, aplicou o MÃtodo Delphi e, para a melhor tomada de decisÃo a ser apontada, utilizou o MÃtodo MulticritÃrio de Apoio à DecisÃo â a AnÃlise de Processos HierÃrquicos para calcular o Ãndice de AvaliaÃÃo da Boa GovernanÃa para o PSMV. Os resultados mostraram que, apÃs 11 anos de implementaÃÃo, o PSMV pode ser considerado uma ferramenta que possibilita a boa governanÃa para o desenvolvimento sustentÃvel no territÃrio cearense, pois, segundo os entrevistados, os cinquenta e quatro indicadores direcionados aos seis princÃpios estÃo sendo postos em prÃtica. PorÃm, ao inter-relacionÃ-los, a pesquisa verificou que o PSMV possui um nÃvel regular para a Boa GovernanÃa. Dentre os seis princÃpios analisados, o que menos contribuiu para esse Ãndice foi o princÃpio Controle da CorrupÃÃo e o que mais contribuiu positivamente foi o princÃpio Estado de Direito, refletindo que existe um forte aparato legal para o exercÃcio da Boa GovernanÃa no estado do CearÃ, porÃm, devem-se promover formas de controle e combate da corrupÃÃo na intenÃÃo de tornar o governo mais democrÃtico e transparente. Salienta-se que nenhum princÃpio foi classificado com um nÃvel de Boa GovernanÃa, logo, para o PSMV, todos os indicadores sÃo passÃveis de investimentos para se alcanÃar a Boa GovernanÃa para o desenvolvimento sustentÃvel pregada pelo Banco Mundial. Finalmente, sugere-se que continuem sendo elaboradas e implementadas polÃticas pÃblicas que tenham a efetiva participaÃÃo popular em todos os nÃveis de decisÃo, buscando, dessa maneira, a sustentabilidade do desenvolvimento com um mundo mais equÃnime e que promova a paz mundial. / The Sustainable Development Plan of the State of CearÃ, developed and implemented in 1995, introduced the concept of Sustainable Development (SD) on the likes of Cearà public policy and proposed that the basis of his training was participatory and democratic way, though there is, thus awakening to the practice of governance. It is known that the analysis of governance rests on the basis of the concept of SD therefore should be focused on the development of policy guidelines and standards aimed at all social actors in an attempt to mitigate and/or end social conflicts beyond to make conspicuous the active participation of people in decision making of the government. The World Bank considers governance as the government's ability to formulate and implement sound policies and effectively, then, propose s six principles for assessing Good Governance: Voice and Accountability, Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism, Government Effectiveness , Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law and Control of Corruption. In 2003, the Selo Municipio Verde Program of the State of Cearà (SMVP) was formulated and implemented in order to assign a public environmental certification that operationalizes the SD at the local level. Thus, the SMVP may hold instruments that enable a guarantee of Good Governance for sustainable development, promote the involvement of all stakeholders to mitigate conflicts of interest and enable the active participation of people in decision making of the government. In this context, the current research aims to analyze the level of implementation of the principles of Good Governance in public policies for sustainable development in Cearà with a view from the SMV P. Therefore, the research applied the Delphi method, and for better decision making to be pointed out, used the method of Multiple Criteria Decision Support âAnalysis of Hierarchy Process to calculate the Evaluation Index of Good Governance for SMVP. The results showed that after 11 years of implementation, the SMVP can be considered a tool that enables Good Governance for sustainable development in Cearà territory because, according to respondents, fifty four indicators targeted to the six principles are being put into practice. However, the inter-relate them, the survey found that SMVP has a regular Good Governance level. Of all the principles discussed, which contributes least to this index was the Control of Corruption and contributed most positively was the principle Rule of Law, reflecting that there is a strong legal apparatus to exercise Good Governancein the state of Cearà but should promote ways of controlling and combating corruption in an attempt to make the government more democratic and transparent. It should be noted that no principle has been rated with a level of Good Governance. Hence for SMVP, all indicators are subject to investment to achieve Good Governance for sustainable development preached by the World Bank. Finally, it is suggested to continue being developed and implemented public policies that affect effective popular participation in all levels of decision making, seeking thus the sustainability of development with more equitable world and to promote world peace.
