Abstract
Centrality analysis is a concept of measure which is used to analyze an actor’s centrality in a fuzzy social network, and it reflects an actor’s position or advantage difference in a fuzzy social network. This paper is a discussion on fuzzy node centrality, fuzzy closeness centrality, fuzzy betweenness centrality, and fuzzy centralization. In the case, 37 factors which influencing enterprise technology innovation are taken as actors to set up a fuzzy network of technology innovation. Judge the importance of each factor to enterprise technology innovation by calculating the fuzzy node centrality and fuzzy closeness centrality, thus provides technical support to the management of enterprise technology innovation.
