The evaluation of enterprises´ independent innovation capacity of the large & medium-sized industrial enterprises in Bohai Sea Rim based on Catastrophe Progression Method

For the subjectivity in weight evaluation which is in the methods of Analytic Hierarchy Process, Factor Analysis and Fuzzy Cluster Analysis, etc widely used during the evaluation of enterprises´ independent innovation, the Catastrophe Progression Method(CPM) is introduced to evaluate the capacity. The evaluation process of CPM is given and then an empirical research with large & medium-sized industrial enterprises of the seven provinces in Bohai Sea Rim is made. Empirical results show that the capacity distribution in this area looks like two ribbons of C which are different to each other in structure. Meanwhile, the capacity in this area increases towards a certain point in Bohai Bay along three different directions.
