The existing research on management efficiency of a private university has not dealt with the effect of depreciation even though the ratio between depreciation and total assets is immensely high. The purpose of this study was to promote management efficiency of a private university by analysing the effects of adopting depreciation in its management system. In order to achieve the purpose, the current study tested the influence of deprecation in two different models of DEA analysis method. In Model One, personnel cost and capital were counted as input source, which was compared with the output represented in the area of education and research. In Model Two, input factors consisted of not only personnel cost and capital but also infrastructure, and depreciation cost, which was compared with the output in education and research. As a result, it was found that there is negative correlation between depreciation and management efficiency in all models of DEA.
The implications for this studied are summarized as follows: diversification of research methods on introduction of depreciation, promotion of rationale for introduction of depreciation factor, effective evaluation of universities by education authorities, promotion of management efficiency for inefficient private universities, setting guidelines for credit line adjustment by education authorities, information disclosure of universities, systematic university evaluation for university education ability build-up projects.
