Abstract:Based on literature review and field survey, we first re-designed the indicators which were suitable to evaluate the innovation performance of Chinese Self-Dependent Innovation Demonstration Area. Then we apply them to evaluate Zhangjiang in Shanghai, with the Importance-Performance Analysis and DEMATEL method, and we have found: (1) to all indicators’ value of Zhangjiang, their importance degrees were smaller than their satisfaction degree, which means all the indicators need to be improved and had the room for improvement. (2) in the influence –relation map of first level indictors, environment support and international competition were the sort of affected class, which means other indicator’s total influence to them were more than their total influence to others’; economy development, innovation input and innovation output were the sort of cause class, which means their total influence to other indicators were more than other indicators’ to them; innovation input and innovation output had the similar influence to other indicators and similar influence other indicators to them. (3) the improve strategy of second level indicators were: innovation talents, technology output, industry optimization and sustainable development need to be no further improvement, economy output, enterprise development, international talents competition and living environment need to be no further improvement and some of their resources may be better used elsewhere; policy environment and innovation culture need to be improved directly with a high priority, international technology competition, international market competition and technology finance need to be improved directly with a low priority all the improvement strategy was only suitable for the current situation and need to be updated and executed continuously.
