Knowledge Production Modes and Its Fuzzy AHP Decision-Making Model

Four knowledge production modes in China were divided in view of production management and their operation modes were pointed out; then, a fuzzy AHP decision-making approach was applied considering the complexity and uncertainty of knowledge production. In this approach, the evaluation index system and hierarchy model were established based on the analysis of influencing factors on knowledge production evaluation, the triangular fuzzy numbers were introduced to substitute the scale value of conventional AHP for determining the weights of evaluation criteria, experts´ opinions from many fields and the risk index of knowledge production modes conversion were considered, the Euclid Neartude between the fuzzy evaluation value and the fuzzy ideal value was used to measure the knowledge production.
