Abstract

The first chapter of this research concentrates on the study of interfirm competition under the lens of a new socioeconomical environment, which has been named the Knowledge Society or the Knowledge Age. To this end, the first part of this chapter introduces the evolution of society and economics from their origins to the present day. Several main stages are identified, as well as some particular characteristics of the latest stage — namely the phenomena of globalization and the technological revolution — which have emerged along with the rise of new industries and a new role for workers that is transforming labour markets.
