What is the "New Economy"?*
The "new" economy is usually characterized by industry segments that produce and market intellectual property, are enabled by Internet commerce and have a global perspective.

Sometimes referred to as the "creative" economy, it includes industries such as engineering, software development, architectural design, graphic design, research and development, arts and culture, academic services and research, and other "idea-based" industries.

Elements of the "new" economy can help make "old" economy sectors such as manufacturing more competitive and efficient, and so lines can get blurred on the categories.
