The influence of critical factors on the demand of the international electricity engineering contracting: ISM approach

Demand of the international electricity engineering contracting is not only influenced by the factors from the internal of the electricity system, but the factors about electricity planning, macroeconomic, new energy development and so on. To distinguish the interaction and interrelationship between them, Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) methodology is used to identify the interrelationship among the identified factors in the present investigation. Moreover, we reveal the root cause, the shallow cause and the surface cause influencing the demand of the international electricity engineering contracting, which provides decision-supporting for the future forecasting about the size of the electricity engineering contracting.
