| Research Abstract |
New innovations have been created by the information technology, and this in turn has generated changes in the nature of the socio-economic system. This is not totally unrelated to the fact that the socio-economic system has entered a new stage based on digital technology, and we have entered the great age of competition in the global economic system. This competition is not simply one of competitive advantage in the trading of products, either materials or services in trade transactions. The focus is rather on the competitiveness of the individual socio-economic systems themselves. At the same tune, this calls into question the abilities of the nations to build competence into socio-economic systems. Thus networked industrialization is the type of socio-economic change in the information age.
In the conventional socio-economic system, markets have been the basic platforms, and various resources have been allocated socially through the markets. In this regard, resource management is a method for social institutional reform, and system building and the system itself are built in "society" as a locus for sharing communication. Within such dynamics, a new frontier is emerging. Digital information networks are created which use the internet, and these information sources are widely used in society. Such platforms are changing businesses and family life style, which in turn causes the socio economic system to change.
