Abstract
This paper discusses the practical usefulness of separating market efficiency from profitability when assessing the comparative performance of private sector organizational units. The market efficiency of a unit reflects its ability to attract custom. The paper shows how data envelopment analysis can be used to assess market efficiency and it illustrates the usefulness of this measure in managing the public houses of a brewery.

A model for measuring the efficiency of Decision Making Units =DMU's is presented, along with related methods of implementation and interpretation, and suggests the additional possibility of new approaches obtained from PFT-NFT combinations which may be superior to either of them alone.
