Abstract

By analyzing the connotation and measurement scale of business ecosystem health on the basis of Ecological theory, Complex Systems theory, Complex Adaptive theory and Business Ecosystem theory, this paper analyzes the basic attributes of business ecosystem from five aspects: ecological attributes, structure attributes, functional attributes, operation mechanism attributes and lifecycle attributes. According to the mechanism of promoting system health, the paper constructs 5 level 2 indexes corresponding to 28 level 3 indexes. Based on the Evaluation model, using the Analytic Hierachy Process (AHP) and the Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method, the paper evaluates Information Technology Business Ecosystem Health in China.
