Features: Summarizing what has been learned before is very helpful for predicting the future. The world has gained considerable understanding of the invisible continent. First, we are moving towards a new type of economy characterized by a set of new spaces—network connectivity, economic multiplication, and "boundaryless" cross-national activities. The author believes that in the past few decades, human civilization has been changing rapidly and continuously on a global scale, as if humans have discovered a new "continent" without land, existing only in our minds, consisting of four interacting independent spaces—physical space, boundaryless space, network space, and high-multiplication space. Therefore, it is called the "invisible continent." This invisible continent has had a significant and profound impact on the economy, politics, and society, especially on business. The four spaces of the invisible continent determine the four strategic principles of the new economy. Those companies and national governments who can manage to operate well in the four spaces will be the greatest successes of the future. The author elaborates on the methods, principles, and strategies of operating on the invisible continent, as well as how to approach it, which is of reference significance to us.
