ESPITIA CUBILLOS, Anny Astrid; BUITRAGO SUESCUN, Oscar Yecid  and  CONTRERAS-GUTIERREZ, Diana Carolina. Collaborative improvement plans for the research groups of the Colombian National Army. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.39, pp.693-715.  Epub July 01, 2022. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.876.

Based on a mixed methodology employing data envelopment analysis, this article evaluates the relative efficiency of 19 Colombian National Army research groups to create collaborative improvement plans that produce synergies and generate better future results based on the indicators and characteristics evaluated. The results show a wide margin for improvement for the groups evaluated. However, six of these groups have a relative efficiency of 100 %, indicating a higher level of maturation. Thus, we propose a sponsorship program by these six groups for the group-sets resulting from an allocation model with clear purposes. This design would allow significant advances in the Army’s research system results.

Keywords : comparative evaluation; data envelopment analysis; development; improvement plans; relative efficiency; research.
