What is Empowerment as a Result of the New Technological Revolution

Chapter 1
Innovation and Resource Management Strategies for Startups Development
The Digital Age implicates collaborative business processes and practices, and businesses increase in growth and productivity depends on entities capacity to motivate individuals to work more and become more dedicated to the goals of the companies; since people are very difficult to manage due to the particular nature of human beings, the New Technological Revolution offered companies the opportunity to use machines instead of individuals in certain areas, which gave employees the chance to leave the routine activities to specific technologies and focus on other tasks that tend to fulfil better expectations (World Economic Forum (WEF), 2022).

Abstract
Algorithms take over the economy and therefore drive a large part of the global political agendas, supranational organizations, and transnational companies at will. They make life easier for people—although not for all in the same way—through processes of practicality, eliminating a large part of social automatisms to the point of making decisions that are in many cases irrefutable for humans. They configure a new reality through processes of data extractivism and à la carte regulations, shaping à la carte disruptive policies for the people and entities that configure them, which in turn generate cyclopean benefits and colossal competitive advantages among competitors. The purpose of this chapter is to find out if technology has to be linked to some political and economic system to achieve justice or if it is the current socioeconomic system that endogenously and without limitations has the capacity to administer justice, forming a customized digital ecosystem.
