Abstract

With the trend of depopulation emerging, technology college/universities in Taiwan are hard pressed by the ever-decreasing student enrollments. A lot of educational problems arise, consequently. Also to blame are national colleges/universities, which endeavor to recruit as many students as possible. Private colleges/universities, which are trapped in student recruitment, have difficulty in school management. As a result, more efforts need to be made to raise the brand value and visibility of the school. The present study integrates analytic hierarchy process to grey relational analysis. Analytic hierarchy process is applied to obtain the weight of individual factors in each hierarchy. On the other hand, the grey System theory is implemented to analyze the factor weight where numerical values are found to be true, thus raising data visibility. Grey relational degree is used to calculate the measure between the discrete series. Based on the 2013 data of departments of a technology college in mid-Taiwan, the researcher assesses the management performance of each department. This study can serve as a guide for school improvement and pave the way for school management. The present study leads to a better understand of how resources are utilized and allocated. Also, it enables each department to enhance its internal and external competitiveness. Data analysis shows that of all departments under assessment, G10 ranks No.1 in management performance. It excels in issues regarding academic affairs, student affairs and technological cooperation and manifests significant difference from other departments.
