The debate over which size industry is best suited for indonesia continues with proponents of both large and small sizes pointing out the benefits of each. However, little empirical analysis has beend one regarding economic matters such as technical efficiency. Non parametric analysis of technical efficiency for three sizes of firms in seven manufacturing sectors is estimated using linear programming techniques. Aggregated input and output data from BPS from 1991 to 1997 are used. Household size firms are found to be most efficient relative to the other sizes for five of the seven sectors analyzed. Large firms are relatively more efficient in "food, beverage and tobacco" sector. Small companies are relatively less efficient than household firms in all but one case, but relatively more efficient than large firms in five of seven sectors. The results validate and perhaps explain the duel economy in indonesia with both large and small firms existing in the same industry. When each sector is analyzed for each firm size, the "non - metallic mineral products other than petroleum and coal" sector is most efficient for all sizes of firms. The least efiicient sector is the "chemical and plastics : industry. The results suggest that government policy should be focused on creating a stable environment for business, which promotes growth of efficient bussinesses, wither large or small. Specific policies and intervention for small business development are not necessary, given the relative efficiency of small firms in indonesia.
