Research on the Technology Innovation Ability of Textile and Apparel Industry

Abstract:

This article makes use of analytic hierarchy process (shortened for AHP) to set up an evaluation system about the innovation ability of textile and apparel industry in China. Based on the guidelines released by National Bureau of Statistics and the particular cases in this industry, the article makes an assessment of the technological innovation and creates four first-level indexes, which are respectively indexes of potential resources for technology innovation, technology innovation activity, output ability of technology innovation and technology innovation environment. By comparison and analysis of different data in different years, it comes to the conclusion that the ability of technological innovation is on the rise.
