Abstract :
More and more Small and Middle Sized Enterprises (SMEs)have started the development of Electronic Commerce (EC) recently. It is important and valuable to study the EC application decision-making in SMEs according to its peculiarity. The present project, first establishes the decision-making index systems about the EC application decision-making of SMEs based on Theory of Planned Behavior, obtains the weight of every index by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and entropy of information theory. Then it uses the EWAA/LHA arithmetic operators and Grey Relativity analysis to study the EC application decision-making in SMEs. A simple example of EC decision-making on a small enterprise shows the specific steps of this method and proves the scientificity of the decision-making index systems and the validity of the decision-making method.
