Abstract
This paper examines the role of the Frontier and Cobb-Douglas production functions in the measurement of company level productivity. The productivity of a typical British batch production company is measured using the production function concept. This approach utilizes the engineering concept of efficiency and this represents a major departure from the conventional measurement of company level productivity.Keywords
