Identifying Deficiencies
Is there an Asset Deficiency?
Leading questions to help uncover root causes of an asset deficiency:
• Do the region's governmental entities present a united front when working with industry, or is industry faced with
an alphabet-soup morass of government and quasi-governmental entities that is confusing and/or frustrating,
making it difficult to navigate and subsequently grow in the region?
• How does the complete regional tax burden compare with competing regions? Is the region losing firms as a
result of its tax climate,or gaining firms?
• Are small companies that are primarily investing in equipment and capacity, but with minimal immediate job
creation, supported by the regional government in their endeavors at the same level as more traditional large
and mid-size attraction/expansion efforts?
• Do the regional governmental and quasi-governmental entities view small companies as long-term job creating
entities?
• Within the small business programs that do exist, is there a differentiation in services/assistance between life-
style companies and scalable firms?
• Are high-tech companies that are primarily investing in equipment and capacity, but with minimal immediate job
creation, supported by the regional government in their endeavors?
2
RE CEDAR
• Do the regional governmental and quasi-governmental entities view high-tech companies as long-term job
wealth generating companies, even if the number of jobs created might differ from more traditional

new technology and/or creative content? If not, are there specific areas of deficiency or is the entire creative
class of occupations underrepresented in the economy?
• Is the region's populace diverse or homogenous in terms of race, ethnicity, culture, religion,and sexual

Metrics
Metrics to determine presence of asset:
• Number of firm births and deaths per capita
• Number of"gazelles" per capita

In analyzing these leading questions, it quickly becomes apparent that a lack of entrepreneurial activity or capacity is
often an overall leading indicator that there is a deficiency in one or more of the other innovation assets. In other
words, the lack of entrepreneurial deal flow is often indicative that the region lacks a variety of other important assets
that are requisites for a flourishing innovation ecosystem.These assets are covered in greater depth throughout the
document.

Identitying Deficiencies
Is there an Asset Deficiency?
Leading questions to help uncover root causes of an asset deficiency:
• Is there a critical mass of activity within the region focused on conducting the additional technical performance
specifications,validation, and market research to develop proof of concepts for new and innovative products and
services formed out of the research enterprise's body of knowledge?Are these activities supported by either the
research entity or external support organizations?
• Once a proof of concept has been developed, is there a critical mass of activities focused on reduction to
practice? In other words, is there a critical mass of activities focused on product development and market
acceptance, such as developing working prototypes that meet commercial specifications and performance
requirements that are then in turn able to be manufactured to scale within defined cost and quality standards?
Are these activities supported by either the research entity or external support organizations?
• Does the research enterprise or commercialization entity have access to financial resources focused on early-
stage risk capital? Has it sought to develop strong relationships with outside risk capital providers? Is the
research enterprise realistic when it develops its valuation taking into account both the"time gap"and the
"financial gap" it will take to bring the research to market?
14
RE CEDAR
• Does the research enterprise proactively develop value-added relationships with industry,from large firms to
small start-ups, that are interested in commercialization partnerships?
• How user-friendly is the technology transfer office, or equivalent administrative oversight office,at the regional
research enterprise assets? Is it easy for innovators to navigate the"system",or are there impediments to
working with the institutions?Are the staff knowledgeable professionals with the requisite technical and business
acumen to provide value-added services?
• Are commercialization activities tied to career development within the research enterprise? Is revenue and equity
fairly allocated between the inventor/commercialization entity and the research enterprise?Can inventors take
leave of absences from their respective institutions to pursue commercialization opportunities?Are there other
incentives in place that encourage researchers to think about and pursue commercially relevant endeavors?

Tangible Assets: 6. Human Capital
Overview
Human Capital—the availability of a highly-skilled,technically-trained workforce. Indications of the presence of the
asset include:
• Skilled workforce
• Positive migration dynamics
• Educational/training systems that incorporate a relevant, high-quality curriculum that is responsive to business
needs, and includes relevant entrepreneurial components, real-world experiences,and is readily available.
Metrics
Metrics to determine presence of asset:
• Educational attainment levels
• Occupational employment distribution
• Total employees in high tech establishments
• Science and engineering degrees conferred
• Talent migration flow
• Number of open STEM positions
Identifying Deficiencies
Is there an Asset Deficiency?
Leading questions to help uncover root causes of an asset deficiency:
• Does the skill base of the regional workforce meet the needs/demands of the regional industry? Of the region's
high-tech industry? If not, are there specific subject matter areas of shortage?
• Is the population base able to gain the required skills for employment at regional educational institutions? If no,
where does the regional populace go to seek the skills required for their desired employment? Conversely, if the
skill set is not being developed within regional educational institutions, where does industry go to find its
workforce?
• Do graduates of regional educational providers primarily remain in the region or do they migrate elsewhere to
seek employment? Do the region's educational providers serve as talent magnets from other regions? If yes, is
the region able to retain the talent after graduation, or do the skilled individuals leave?
• Does industry perceive the educational providers to be responsive to their specific needs? If yes, specifically
how? If no,what are the constraints/problems encountered?
16
RE CEDAR
Tangible Assets: 7. Physical Infrastructure
Overview
Physical Infrastructure—the capacity within a region to support entrepreneurial start-ups with desirable physical
assets, such as specialized space, dedicated equipment, information and communication technologies, and logistics.
Indications of the presence of the asset include:
• Shared-use physical capacity, i.e., prototype development,shared equipment,test beds,etc.
• Diverse and affordable physical space that due to proximity allows for synergies between and among research
enterprise and entrepreneurial community
• Information &communication technologies (broadband,wireless)
• Transportation/logistics
Metrics
Metrics to determine presence of asset:
• Growth rate of the development of proximate office/lab/production facilities
• Occupancy rates of proximate physical space
• Utilization rates of shared-use equipment
• Information &Communications Technology capacities, specs, affordability, accessibility
• Location/Market Access
• Capacity and quality of road, rail, air,and ports
Identifying Deficiencies
Is there an Asset Deficiency?
Leading questions to help uncover root causes of an asset deficiency:
• Are innovative firms able to gain access to the specialized equipment/services that they require at a reasonable
price to bring their products to market? If the business model does not support the purchase of a specialized
piece of equipment/service, are firms able to gain access to shared-use equipment/services within a reasonable
timeframe and for a reasonable price?Are there particular specialized equipment/services that are in demand by
regional firms that are not currently being met? If needs are not being met, is it because the specialized
equipment/services do not exist within the region, or can they simply not be accessed at an affordable rate?
• Are innovative firms able to gain access to the specialized facilities that they require at a reasonable price?Are
all types of specialized facilities (i.e.,wet lab space, high-bay, Class A Office, etc.)available to meet demand? If
regional firm's space requirements are not being met, is it because the net square footage is not adequate?The
location of available square footage not desirable?The cost of the square footage not deemed to be affordable?
• Are the information and communication technology needs of regional firms being met? If not, is it an issue of
access or price?Are there specific unique needs that are in demand?
• Is the transportation/logistics infrastructure of the region deemed to be a comparative advantage, a detriment, or
a neutral business consideration?Can firms access logistics services for a competitive price, or are they faced
with a higher cost for doing business then competitors in other regions?

RE CEDAR
Tangible Assets: 8. Industrial Base
Overview
Industrial Base—resident cutting-edge, high-growth firms with global market penetration based on disruptive
technologies that in turn builds comparative advantage for the region. Indications of the presence of the asset
include:
• Access to high-quality,value-added support services, i.e., legal, accounting, etc.
• Presence of established high-tech firms to serve as anchors
• A strategic focus built on comparative advantage and the development of a value-added, supply chain (cluster
development)
Metrics
Metric to determine presence of asset:
• Percentage of firms classified within high-tech NAICs codes
• Growth rate of firms classified within high-tech NAICs codes
• Specialization of industrial sectors measured by location quotient
Identifying Deficiencies
Is there an Asset Deficiency?
Leading questions to help uncover root causes of an asset deficiency:
• Does the region have a specialization (a high location quotient)within particular industry sectors?Are any of
those sectors considered to be high-tech?
• As a result of the specialization, has the region been able to develop a value-added supply chain? In other
words, is there a concentration of companies that identify themselves within the given NAICs code as well as
suppliers,support services,financiers, specialized infrastructure, producers of related products, and related
research and training providers?
• Has the region's policy makers attempted to ascertain its economic strengths? Is there consensus regarding the
region's competitive strengths and strategies to increase shared advantage, also referred to as positive
externalities?

• Is there a critical mass of global trade activity within the region (both exporting and conducting business
abroad)? Is that level a result of a few large corporations,or the result of a multitude of firms involved in
international trade?
• Is there a critical mass of knowledge in the region surrounding conducting international business?Are there
service/support entities that a firm that is interested in global trade could turn to for advice/services?Are there
needs that are going unmet?
