Sobek Method of Environmental Scanning Stock Performance to Formulate Technology Trajectories,
2006. (pdf format)

The Sobek Method of Environmental Scanning explains how tracking stock prices that reach 52-week highs uncovers companies and technologies that are making signficant contributions to technological advancements or emerging trends.

The paper provides examples of market behavior to help interpret companies that are trending upward on their own valuations. Financial web sites are used as centralized charting, news sources, and prescanned lists that reduce the scanning effort.

Results substantiate technological forecasts while improving accuracy of timing, events, and other markers when developing timelines, s-curves, and technology trajectories.
