Abstract: Since information system development(ISD) is guided by information system development approach(ISDA), its success or failure mainly depends upon whether appropriate ISDA is chosen or not. By adopting fuzzy decision making theory, a new method of evaluating alternative ISDAes to select satisfactory one was obtained, for which several mathematical models of fuzzy synthetic discrimination were created. In particular, a summarized evaluation index system was established. Finally, the application of the above method to a practical information system(IS) was illustrated.
