Abstract: In the case of limited organizational resources, smoothly and effectively completing the multi-stage evaluation and selection in the formation process of complex creative solution is vital for the organization to solve creative problems. In this paper, a multi-stage evaluation criteria system is constructed from the three dimensions of novelty, value and practicality, each of which is composed of three separate evaluation criteria systems, and the fuzzy AHP method is applied to obtain the weights of each dimensions and sub-dimensions, we find that the weights of the same dimensions and sub-dimensions are different in each evaluation criteria systems. The fuzzy TOPSIS method and the fuzzy AHP method are combined to build a multi-stage evaluation and selection model in the formation process of complex creative solution, then the complex creative solutions development activities of rural credit products, which we have been personally involved in, are selected as the analysis case to confirm the practical operability of this model.
