The map analysis approach, as the process is called, may be used by researchers to determine the amount of teamwork necessary to make team efforts productive.

The study used Computer Assisted Text Analysis to study shareholder letters at corporate annual reports and the results support the concept that the more latitude managers a company has, the more varied the attention patterns are.
