Those are the main 3 stages of economic development, also known as stages of economic growth.

Factor driven economy - is the first stage of development, in which competitive advantage is based on unskilled labor or natural resources. Economies are producing mostly basic products.

Efficiency driven economy - is the second stage of development, in which efficiency in producing standard products becomes the main source of competitive advantage. The production process is more efficient and quality of products is increased. Economies concentrate on manufacturing.

Innovation driven economy - is the third stage of development, with ability to produce new innovative products through sophisticated processes. Using of the most advanced methods becomes the main source of competitive advantage. Companies are more knowledge intensive and invest strongly in advanced skills and technology.
