Abstract

In the current market economy, alliances play a key role in developing strategies across fields. In order to have a good partner, managers have used both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. This paper proposes a mathematical model to figure out the most suitable strategic partners. With input data from published financial reports, the authors use the data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the business efficiency of the steel companies in the period of 2011–2019. Then, Grey system theory is applied to predict their performance in the future period. The findings recommend the two leading steel manufactures but having ineffective performance, the Hoa Sen Group, and the Pomina Steel Corporation, as the most feasible beneficial partnership. Managers and the government can take advantages of the model in order to implement and have overall plans of steel enterprise in the future.
