Abstract: 

Taking the Chinese SMEs as examples, this paper uses the Balanced Scorecard, the D&M model and the financial evaluation model to construct the evaluation index system for the E-commerce implementation performance of small and medium-sized enterprises centering on the financial dimension, customer dimension and organizational dimension, and further explore the E-commerce implementation effect using the structural equation model, factor analysis, and comprehensive fuzzy evaluation. Research results on one hand contribute to further promot theroetical fild of  the e-commerce of small and medium-sized enterprises, and on the other hand, aiming at the practice of small and medium-sized enterprises, the researches provide theoretical support and concrete technical means for the evaluation of the effect of e-commerce of small and medium-sized enterprises. Meanwhile, this paper provides specific and feasible decision-making basis for the management and implementation of  e-commerce to numerous small and medium-sized enterprises.
