Fuzzy Ahp with Mcda to Construct the Roadmap of R&d Consortia in Taiwan’s M&s Enterprises

While entering WTO, Taiwan has become one of the members in the international community of globalization. The medium & small enterprises (M&SE), which accounts for 98 % of Taiwan industries facing even more competition due to insufficient capital, human resources, and limited organization scale. To achieve competitive edges for the globalization requires efficiency in doing business and scale in industry development, M&SE should aggressively develop technical capabilities and synergy form strategic R&D consortia to effectively consolidate resources. In this study we established a hierarchical frame for evaluating the utility of R&D consortia. As a result, it comes up with five levels of structure and twenty evaluating principles for forming R&D consortia. Analysis Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to determine the weights of considered criteria. We also employed Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Data Analysis (Fuzzy MCDA) to derive the utility of each strategy. Finally, we summarized some findings of this study and provided some suggestions for development direction of M&S enterprise in near future.
