Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for identifying a technology bias of a company located within a community. Information is gathered regarding technology production, where the technology production includes technology that relates to technology produced by the company. Other information is gathered regarding technology absorption, where the technology absorption includes technology absorbed into a product or service of the company. Yet other information is gathered regarding technology utilization. The technology bias of the company is then identified in accordance with the quantified information about technology production, the quantified information about technology utilization, and the quantified information about technology absorption.

9. A method for identifying a technology density of a plurality of companies located within a community, comprising:
-
identifying a technology bias of the company, wherein the technology bias comprises an indication of an amount of technology absorbed, utilized and produced by the company;
calculating a technology bias index, wherein the technology bias index is calculated by comparing the identified technology bias for the company with an average technology bias calculated for a plurality of other companies, and wherein the technology bias index for the company establishes the company as being mostly one of a hyper-dynamic company, wherein the hyper-dynamic company at least one of creates technology and provides technology to other companies, a dynamic company, wherein the dynamic company absorbs technology into at least one of operations, production, and products, and an amanic company, wherein the amanic company resists both absorption and production of technology;
calculating a technology density for a community, wherein the technology density is determined by calculating an average ranking for the hyper-dynamic companies within the community, and average ranking for the dynamic companies within that community and an average ranking for the amanic companies within the community. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
