The results indicated that variations in the company’s performance are due to the change in technical efficiency and technology. Because the productivity and performance of the firms revealed an improvement in two years so that in one year, the efficiency was the prominent factor and in the other year, both of technical efficiency and technology jointly played an important role in this progress. In addition, over the two another years, the firms had not experienced any performance progress and finally in one year, they encountered regressive performance.
