Evaluation of Breakthrough Technological Innovation Capability of Petroleum Equipment Manufacturing Enterprises Based on the CFPR-TIFNs Model

Abstract

“Internet + innovation” is a new emerging paradigm for breakthrough technological innovation, which is more complex than traditional scenarios because “Internet +” has completely overturned the acquisition of creativity and knowledge. This article aims to evaluate the breakthrough technological innovation capability (BTIC) of petroleum equipment manufacturing enterprises under the new paradigm of “Internet + innovation.” This article constructs an index system that can reflect the characteristics of “breakthrough” and “Internet +” in five dimensions. Due to the difficulties of conducting quantitative measurements for the novel index system, a hybrid evaluation model based on a consistent fuzzy preference relationship (CFPR) and triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs) is put forward for the evaluation of BTIC. The main contribution of this article is to propose an index system and model for the evaluation of BTIC under the “Internet + innovation” paradigm, which is conducive to improving the quality of breakthrough technological innovation activities under more complex scenarios. The CFPR-TIFNs model can not only effectively calculate the BTIC of petroleum equipment manufacturing enterprises but also deeply analyze the influencing factors for their relatively weak technological innovation capability. This article provides a new methodology to solve problems in a more complex technological innovation system.
