Abstract
A new method based on structure entropy model was presented for selecting the best outsourcing suppliers of IT Corporation. First, the indexes system of selection is proposed. Then, synthesis weights are obtained by using structure entropy method. It belongs to the subjective assignment and objective assignment method based on the entropy theory. Finally, partial large Cauchy distribution function and the logarithmic function are used to be the membership function, each supplier’s evaluation results is calculated by fuzzy mathematic method. The best IT-outsourcing supplier is selected according to the sort of evaluation values. An example is given to prove the validity of the method.
