This study is to analyze the efficiency of Korean software companies listed on the KOSDAQ. Data Envelopment Analysis is employed to estimate the efficiency of 44 software companies. In addition, super efficiency is used to differentiate the performance of the efficient software companies. We used total assets, wages, cost of goods sold, sales and administrative expense as inputs, and revenue as output. The result indicates that 7 DMUs of 44 DMUs are efficient. Of the 37 inefficient DMUs, 17 DMUs are operating under conditions of increasing return to scale. In order to attain greater efficiency, increasing in inputs is recommended for DMUs under IRS. The result of super efficiency shows that DMU 14 is the highest ranked one of all the efficient DMUs.
