With 253 valid samples, the study mainly sets to analyze the data by using SPSS13.0. The results show that the index system has good reliability. And the weights of factors were calculated by Delphi method with amendment of means and variances. This study provides some guidelines for Chinese enterprise to evaluate knowledge integration ability oneself.
