“…This result can be motivated by global competitive pressures; with non-Chinese companies holding most of the Chinese software market (Chinalabs, 2006) and motives of consumers of software products in China and the West being very similar (Mummalaneni, 1996).…”

China has become a formidable player and continues to grow strongly in what has become a dynamic global market for software development. In this highly competitive environment it has never been more difficult or important to maximize the creation of software product value. But each key stakeholder group -purchasers, users, software managers and developers -has a different notion of value when looking at a software product. As the value of a software product is largely derived through the requirements it fulfils, we looked at the criteria used to select and prioritise requirements for a release of software, and the perspectives that motivate them. The value of a software product is largely derived through the requirements it fulfils. To help understand how value is created we looked at the criteria used to select and prioritise requirements for a release of software, and the perspectives that motivate them. We studied three groups of software development companies operating in China -Chinese companies with a domestic market, Chinese companies with an international market, and western companies operating in China. The results were similar for all three groups, except After-sales Support was a significantly greater concern for Chinese companies with an international market.

“…Research has also shown the purchasing motives for Chinese and Western buyers are substantially similar (Mummalaneni, 1996). Whether Chinese companies are developing products for a market in China or elsewhere in the world, Product value will be compared to all the other possible solutions.…”

“…From the literature review and the findings of this paper, 183 decision attributes are identified for general industries. They are categorized into eight different aspects while evaluating the favourability of candidate SC alliances: (1) finance [6,7,[9][10][11]17] (2) human resource management [9,10,14,17] (3) industrial characteristics [7,9] (4) knowledge/technology acquiring and management [3,6-9,14,17] (5) marketing [6,[9][10][11]14,17] (6) organizational competitiveness [7,9,10,17] (7) product development, production, and logistics management [6][7][8][9]14,17,18] and (8) relationship building and coordination [3,4,[6][7][8][9][10]14,17,18]. Over 50% of the evaluation attributes are focused on two categories: ''relationship building and coordination'' and ''product development, production, and logistics management'', as shown in Table 3.…”

“…However, Shahanagi and Yazdian [14] insisted that these criteria and sub-criteria are indeed meaningful and the most important measures in MCDM. The criteria and sub-criteria have been indicated in many application papers such as in vendor selection [15], and supplier selection [16], [17]. Moreover, the existing method that used subjective weight has a weakness .…”

Abstract-Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference bySimilarly to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is one of the most commonly used approaches in solving numerous mu ltip le criteria decision making problems. It has been widely used in ranking of mu lt iple alternatives with respect to mu ltiple criteria with the superiority of fu zzy set type-1 and subjective weights. Recently, fu zzy TOPSIS has been merged with interval type-2 fu zzy sets and subjective weights for criteria as to handle the wide arrays of vagueness and uncertainty. However, the role of ob jective weights in this new interval type-2 fuzzy TOPSIS has given considerably less attention. This paper aims to propose a new objective weight for sub-criteria in interval type-2 fu zzy TOPSIS. Instead of using weight for criteria, this paper considers entropy weights for sub-criteria in interval type-2 fu zzy TOPSIS method. An example of supplier select ion is used to illustrate the proposed method.
