Abstract

Existing evaluation methods of green innovation ability have strong subjectivity and can not deal with the problem of information overlapping among the indexes. To overcome these shortcomings, this paper combine analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and osculating value process (OVP) to construct the AHP–OVP evaluation model. Then this model is introduced into the green innovation ability evaluation of manufacturing enterprises, and the validity of the evaluation method is verified by a case. The results show that AHP–OVP evaluation model can effectively evaluate green innovation ability of manufacturing enterprises. And this model also fully solve the problems of green innovation ability evaluation methods of manufacturing enterprises built by previous scholars.
