ABSTRACT
With the development of technology and economy, the pattern of global
economic integration with the fundamental characters of global sources acquisition,
global manufacturing and global marketing has gradually taken shape. Traditional
simple competitive business strategy can no longer meet the needs of the modern
enterprise survival and development, the business operation mode of “giving first
place to competition” should be converted to “giving first place to cooperation and
placing competition on subordinate position”. Supply and Demand Network with
Multi-function and opening characteristics for enterprises is characterized by such
fundamental characters as multi-functional cooperation, fully open cooperation,
inclusive cooperation and cooperation through dynamic network, which emphasize
from various perspectives the business strategy of giving first place to cooperation
(placing competition on subordinate position) between the enterprises of supply and
demand network. However, this kind of cooperation should be restrained by various
operation targets and conditions, for it is impossible for an enterprise of supply and
demand network to be the cooperative partner or competitor of all the other
enterprises of supply and demand network. Therefore, it is of great importance to
study the ways of choosing adequate and superior cooperators for an enterprise of
supply and demand network in the actual operation.
In this article, research is made on the methods of enterprise partner selection
evaluation which are based on the fundamental features and ideas of supply and
demand network. It is an important part of National Natural Science Foundation
Project (71171135) to study the methods of enterprise cooperation optimization model
based on the fundamental features and ideas of supply and demand network.
The main research works in this article are as follows:
(1) Introduction of the purposes and meanings of the research on the enterprise
partner selection evaluation based on the fundamental features and ideas of
supply and demand network; Analysis on the current situation of the research
of Supply and Demand Network with Multi-function and opening
characteristics for enterprises, and research on the defects in the methods for
traditional enterprise partner selection evaluation.
(2) Introduction of the basic concept and features of supply and demand network;

(3) Research on the methods and principles for identifying the evaluation index
weight on supply and demand network enterprise cooperation; Determination
of the subjective and objective index weights by applying analytic hierarchy
process and entropy weight coefficient method, which serve as the weight
coefficients for TOPSIS comprehensive evaluation method for the setting up
of secondary TOPSIS comprehensive evaluation model to provide method for
