Abstract

This paper conducts a risk assessment of strategic emerging industries’ technical standards alliances. First, we study the ecological properties and operational cycles of technical standards alliances based on the ecological system. Following the rule by which identification precedes assessment, we apply factor analysis to identify the key risk factors in the ecological system of such alliances. We then construct a fuzzy synthetic assessment model and conduct an empirical analysis on the energy saving and environmental protection industries in China. Taking the unique research perspective of the ecological system and using interdisciplinary research methods, this study establishes itself as a theoretical model to be used as a guideline in practice. The result is expected to provide a useful reference for furthering technological innovation in China’s strategic emerging industries.
