Abstract
From the perspective of economic complexity, development could be explained based on the process of knowledge accumulation incorporated into goods and services. We examine various concepts of this perspective based on the study of the evolution of an agricultural company in Murcia (Spain) that dedicates, since 1995, to the production, handling, and commercialization of seedless table grapes and their comparison
with other traditional agricultural enterprises. Particularly, we focus on the incorporation of knowledge and information to the products and the creation of networks of both people and companies.
