This complicates things and requires a new approach to management in e-business 5.0. Smart Technologies and Innovations in E-Business is devoted to comprehensive research of e-business 5.0. This book discusses the systematization of international experience, determination of prospects, and development of recommendations for the improvement of the management of smart technologies and innovations in e-business 5.0. Covering topics such as big data, entrepreneurial development and dynamics, and mobile payment systems, this book is an essential resource for entrepreneurs, business executives and managers, e-commerce professionals, digital marketing experts, technology developers and engineers, academicians and researchers, policy makers and regulators, postgraduate educators and students, and more.

Experts are constantly trying to understand the complex relationships between humans and evolving technologies. Cognitive ergonomics, the science behind human-machine interactions, ensures optimal performance and decision-making. Understanding and managing these interactions, especially in medicine and computer tasks, requires an interdisciplinary approach.
