Well, it means a kind of transformation – investment in manufacturing, that is  from car or toothpaste to intangible investment like creating an app or a film or brand consulting.

Consequently, investment is flowing from tangible sectors to intangible sectors. Richer economies are diverting their funds to invest in demand side of quadrant rather than on the supply side.The dynamics is : focus on demand side ensures better return on capital and acquiring a distribution network enabling sustainable business on the long run and opportunities to introduce new products and services.
