FONTALVO, Tomás J.; DE LA HOZ, Efraín J.  e  MORELOS, José. Combined Method of Conglomerate Analysis and Multivariate Discriminant Analysis to Identify and Evaluate Financial Efficiency Profiles in Exporting Companies. Inf. tecnol. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.5, pp.227-234. ISSN 0718-0764.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-07642018000500227.

A method to define and evaluate financial efficiency profiles is presented. The multivariate calculus and its tools of Conglomerate Analysis and Multivariate Discriminant Analysis ADM were used as a theoretical basis. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with output optimization was also used. For this, a rational and empirical approach research was done, considering 58 medium-sized companies of the export sector of the city of Barranquilla in Colombia. As a result, a method was provided to establish and evaluate financial efficiency profiles in medium-sized export companies of the area. The financial efficiency profiles of the export sector are also determined. The efficiency levels of the financial profiles of the clusters were 41.17%, 53.82% and 54.01% respectively. It is concluded that the cluster analysis showed favorable conditions to classify business groups with profiles of differentiated financial efficiency.
