Subsequently, the validation is completed by establishing hypotheses of efficiency relationships between the perspectives proposed, em- ploying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Empirical evidence has been obtained on the validity of the proposed BSC for a unit of academic management in the university. The first contribution of this work is the establishment of a framework of analysis of the hypothetical cause-effect relationships in the BSC in university institutions. The second contribution is to obtain the determining factors of the performance in this type of institution and, therefore, the Strate- gic Map. Specifically, these factors are: the participation of teaching staff in innovation activities; the number of doc- torate-level staff; the academic subjects and credits in the Virtual Campus; and the scores in the surveys of student sat- isfaction. With respect to research, the determining factors of the performance are: the research sexennials; the funding obtained from contracts with companies; the number of research projects obtained; their financing; and the participation of teachers in these projects.}, publisher = {Scientific Research}, title = {Balanced Scorecard and Efficiency: Desing and Empirical Validation of strategic Map in the University by Means of DEA}, doi = {10.4236/ajor.2013.31003}, author = {García Valderrama, Teresa and Revuelta Bordoy, Daniel and Rodríguez Cornejo, Vanessa María}, }
