Abstract :
In order to improve guiding work for graduation design, new guiding organization style was found. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and compare two organization styles (old and new) from information flow aspect. Based on entropy theory, efficiency entropy and quality entropy were introduced to evaluate the order degree of system structure. Efficiency entropy reflects uncertainty degree of information speed and quality entropy reflects the uncertainty of information transfer quality. Efficiency entropy and quality entropy were calculated according to their definitions for the old and new organization styles and the order degrees were also given. Calculation results show that the new organization structure is better than the old one in view of information flow.
