Abstract :
The biotechnology cluster, as a kind of innovation cluster, plays an important role in the economic development. This paper employs the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process approach to evaluate the biotechnology clusters, which is meaningful not only for the academic research, but also for the policy-making practice. In addition, a case study is presented to make the FAHP approach more understandable.
