碩士 === 國防管理學院 === 資源管理研究所 === 89 === There are many methods, including Index Method, Analytic Hierarchy Process and Delphi Method（FMADM）etc, for evaluating a national Comprehensive National Power（CNP）. Some methods describe with qualitative modes, the others quantify with mathematical modes. Among those evaluating methods, there are different viewpoint, explanation, advantages and disadvantages. In the evaluation of CNP, we need to consider its property of multi-input and multi-output and multiple attribute involving incomplete messages. The purpose of this study is to solve the difficulties of the evaluating multi-input and multi-output and multiple attribute involving incomplete messages. Hence, in this research ,the factors for evaluating CNP are selected in accordance with the related reference and expert’s opinion on the basis of grounded theory, and the evaluation procedures for the CNP system in two stages should be suggested as follows：（1）we should apply Data Envelopment Analysis（DEA）to obtain relative efficiency among different national CPN, and sift more relative efficiency ones out..（2）we should apply Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making（FMADM）to solve such problems as incapable of quantification, incomplete messages, vague conception, for example, politics, economy, science and technology, military, and so on. The main contribution of this research states as below： （1）By means of consulting literatures and expert interviews on the basis of grounded theory, measuring criterion of evaluating CNP and conception of forming those criterion. （2）This research integrates related theories, considering that evaluating factors of a national CNP system should be human resources, natural resources, science and technology, domestic economy, business management, internationalization, government, infrastructure, defense capability. （3）This research compare six main national CNP ordering, creating a new and simple mode measuring national CNP by using DEA and FMADM methods
