Abstract

Technology innovation alliance is such an effective mode to form the knowledge advantage from inter-organizational knowledge transfer. It is significant and difficult to select the right partner for the technology innovation alliance. We specifically use the entropy method to make a study on the partner selection issue of technology innovation alliance in knowledge perspective. Firstly, we establish an evaluation index system. And then, Index importance weight and entropy weight are combined to get the comprehensive weight of indexes, based on that, one comprehensive evaluation method is given. Finally, the example analysis shows the method is strongly operable.
