1. An organization evaluation device for evaluating a first organization formed of a plurality of persons, comprising:

  • a processor;

    a memory; and

    a plurality of terminals, each of which has a sensor and a wireless transmitter/receiver, and is worn by each of the plurality of persons;

    a transceiver that receives acceleration data detected by the sensor and meeting data indicating a meeting between persons detected by the wireless transmitter/receiver;

    wherein the memory stores the acceleration data and the meeting data;

    wherein the processor is configured tocalculate a time spent for each meeting between any two persons from the meeting data stored in the memory;

    calculate, from at least one of an acceleration frequency calculated from the acceleration data and the meeting data stored in the memory and a business index of each of the plurality of persons, a flow level as a personal index of each of the plurality of persons;

    calculate a weight coefficient indicating a degree of involvement of each of the plurality of persons in the first organization; and

    calculate an organization index of the first organization, andindicate the organization index of the first organization,consider, in a meeting matrix, that only pairs of persons who have had meetings for a time equal to or longer than a predetermined threshold are linked to define a network structure of the first organization, and calculate the weight coefficient by calculating a network index based on a meeting matrix indicating a linkage between each of the plurality of persons and other persons in the first organization, and divide the network index by a sum of the network indices of the plurality of persons;

    calculate the organization index of the first organization by obtaining a weighted average of a plurality of the personal indices, which are stored in the memory, using the weight coefficient; and

    output the organization index of the first organization and an organization index of a second organization, which is calculated by the same method of calculating the organization index of the first organization, in numerical values or in a chart for comparison to a display device, which is part of the organization evaluation device, connected to the organization evaluation device.
