Abstract


The number of college graduates has been increasing year by year and, subsequently, the pressure to secure employment pressure is greater, Hence, the entrepreneurship of college students and their ability to become innovators, can not only solve their employment problems, but also create more jobs for their peers. The innovation ability and entrepreneurship of college students after graduation need to be supported. In this study, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method was applied to determine the factors affecting the innovation and entrepreneurship ability of college students. An indicator evaluation system model containing three levels and nine indicators wasestablished for the innovation and entrepreneurship ability of college
students. The relevant data were collected by questionnaire. The results of the verification process indicated that the data were reliable and usable. A judgement matrix was established for the evaluation indicators in the model. After the consistency check, the weight of the matrix was calculated. The study found that the weight of entrepreneurial ability, innovation ability, and social ability was 0.4257, 0.3961, and 0.1782, respectively. The final results indicate that entrepreneurial ability is the most important factor, innovation ability is the second, and social ability is ofthe least value.

Keywords: analytic hierarchy process, innovation and entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship of college students
