Evaluation of enterprise technology integration capability from dynamic perspective—Based on AHP and Fuzzy TOPSIS Method

Abstract

Abstract: The technology integration capability is an intrinsic dynamic of technology integration, and the level of such capability influences directly the effect of integration implementation. As the main resource of competitive edge of enterprise integration innovation in the new period,the technology integration capability has already drawn the attention of the decision makers and supervision authorities of enterprises. Based on an in-depth analysis of the connotation and characteristic of technology integration capability, this research establishes the overall evaluation index system of the technology integration capability from the dynamic perspective, adopts the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to ensure the weight of the index and applies the fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to estimate the technology integration capability, and it also applies examples to check the feasibility of this method and analyzes the reasons for the difference of evaluation effects. This research provides some references for the follow-up researches.

Key words: technology integration capability, integration innovation, dynamic capability, AHP, fuzzy TOPSIS method
