Application of Item Response Theory (IRT) in the identification of quantitative discriminating indicators for the practice of business benchmarking

Benchmarking as a management tool is based on practices and metrics. However, there are latent variables that cannot be measured directly. The Item Response Theory (IRT), a statistical technique that is widely explored in the health area, is little explored in the management area. This work seeks to...

However, there are latent variables that cannot be measured directly. The Item Response Theory (IRT), a statistical technique that is widely explored in the health area, is little explored in the management area. This work seeks to apply the IRT to identify a set of indicators that are discriminative and possible to be used in the practice of business benchmarking. After analysing 31 indicators of 203 companies listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange, it was possible to identify 21 discriminating indicators divided into 5 factors. It was concluded that IRT is a technique capable of identifying discriminatory indicators with low value of the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) and that it brings new interpretations of already existing metrics - in the case economic and financial metrics - in addition to facilitating the understanding latent traits.O benchmarking como ferramenta gerencial se baseia em práticas e métricas. Entretanto, há variáveis latentes que não podem ser medidas diretamente. A Teoria de Resposta ao Item (TRI), técnica estatística muito explorada na área da saúde, é pouco explorada na área de gestão. Este trabalho busca aplicar a TRI para identificar um conjunto de indicadores que sejam discriminativos e possíveis de serem para a prática do benchmarking empresarial. Após analisar 31 indicadores de 203 empresas listadas na Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo, foi possível identificar 21 indicadores discriminantes distribuídos em 5 fatores. Concluiu-se que a TRI é uma técnica capaz de identificar indicadores discriminativos com baixo valor do Root Mean Square Error of Aproximation (RMSEA) e que traz novas interpretações de métricas já existentes - no caso específico métricas econômicas e financeiras - além de facilitar a compreensão de traços latentes. Universidade Nove de Julho - UNINOVE2021-10-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/exacta/article/view/1684910.5585/exactaep.2021.16849Exacta; v. 19 n. 4 (2021): (out./dez.); 864-8891983-93081678-5428reponame:Revista e-xactainstname:Centro Universitário de Belo Horizonte (UNIBH)instacron:UNIBHporhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/exacta/article/view/16849/9058Copyright (c) 2021 Exactainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBaltazar, Marcos Charles PinheiroAlbertin, Marcos RonaldoPontes, Heráclito Lopes Jaguaribe2022-01-06T19:07:09Zoai:ojs.periodicos.uninove.br:article/16849Revistahttps://revistas.unibh.br/dcet/PUBhttps://revistas.unibh.br/dcet/oaiexacta@unibh.br||periodicosdeminas@gmail.com1984-31511984-3151opendoar:2022-01-06T19:07:09Revista e-xacta - Centro Universitário de Belo Horizonte (UNIBH)false
