Abstract

Technological innovation capabilities (TICs) are currently one of the essential factors to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. The measurement of TICs is a complicated decision making process and quite difficult to perform because its assessment involves multi-attribute criteria and the subjective judgements of experts. To solve these problems, this study provides a TICs evaluating model by employing a hybrid multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique. This method is an integration of four approaches, consisting of: 1) fuzzy Delphi; 2) fuzzy DEMATEL; 3) analytical network process; 4) technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS). The final results showed the measurement criteria, the interrelationship and the relative important weights among criteria and the ranking of TICs of firms. An empirical study is also illustrated in Thai automotive parts firms as a case study. Furthermore, this study could assist industrial managers to efficiently evaluate TICs and its direction of improvement.

汽车零部件行业技术创新能力评价的混合多准则决策模型

技术创新能力是当前提高企业竞争力的重要因素之一。技术创新能力的评估涉及多属性标准和专家的主观判断，是一个复杂的决策过程，实施难度较大。为了解决这些问题，本研究采用混合多准则决策(MCDM)技术，提供了一个集成电路评估模型。该方法是四种方法的综合，包括:1)模糊德尔菲法;2)模糊DEMATEL;3)分析网络过程;4)通过与理想解的相似性来排序的技术(TOPSIS)。最后的结果显示了衡量标准、相互关系和各标准之间的相对重要权重，以及企业投资绩效的排名。本文还以泰国汽车零部件企业为例进行了实证研究。此外，本研究可协助产业管理者有效地评估技术创新及其改进方向。

期刊介绍： The general themes of the IJMDM seek to develop our understanding of organisational decision making and the technology used to support the decision process. A particular purpose is to consider management processes in international and cross-cultural contexts and to secure international inputs and comparisons. The IJMDM aims to provide a new venue for high quality papers focusing on the analytical and empirical study of management processes in private and public sector organisations - including cases and action research.
