Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the analysis of technical effectiveness of companies. The first part of the elaboration discusses theoretical aspects of measuring the effectiveness as well as methods described in the literature. Next, using the results of direct studies, there is an attempt to analyze the technical efficiency of some chosen companies acting in the industrial sector of Podkarpackie Voivodeship, based on the DEA method. These studies showed that the measurement of technical effectiveness of companies is a necessary condition to rationally evaluate a decision concerning investment expenditure. However, using traditional one-dimensional methods of measurement may lead to sub-optimization. The solution to methodological problems of technical effectiveness assessment of companies is to apply a multi-dimensional approach, which uses non-parametric method – DEA. It is worth stressing that applying DEA method in the technical effectiveness assessment of companies is a ground-breaking approach, and so far has been hardly used in Polish research studies.
