Abstract
The China government’s 14th Five-Year Plan and the 2035 Vision set forth important plans for “Accelerating digital development” and “Creating a sound digital ecology”. However, little is known about how such a digital ecology is developed and how the small and medium-sized (SMs) manufacturing enterprise could assess it. From social-technology and business perspectives, this paper first explores influential factors of such a digital ecology, followed by constructing a theoretical framework of digital ecology assessment index system for SMs manufacturing industry, then developing the practical framework of primary digital ecology assessment index system. A case study is conducted to verify the index system employing the entropy weight method for weights calculation of the indicators with sources from fifteen experts’ rating, and expert opinion method used to gain wights for the second-level indicator and measurement indicator indexes as well.
