Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship held in Cyberjaya, Malayisa on 26th-27th April 2017.

The impact of technology on operations management reshapes how organizations approach adoption, adaptation, and optimization of their processes. As businesses integrate advanced technologies such as automation, data analytics, and artificial intelligence, they are revolutionizing operational efficiency. The adoption of these technologies helps streamline workflows while enhancing decision-making capabilities. Adaptation strategically implements these innovations to align with organizational needs, while optimization drives continuous improvement by enabling precise performance tracking and predictive analytics. More exploration into these technological advancements may assist businesses in refining their operations, reducing costs, and achieving greater competitive advantage in today’s market. Impacts of Technology on Operations Management: Adoption, Adaptation, and Optimization examines the impact of technology on operations management within organizations. It explores solutions for business optimization, quality management, and product development using technology like AI, IoT, smart and digital technology, and data algorithms. This book covers topics such as circular economy, digital technology, and supply chains, and is a useful resource for computer engineers, managers, business owners, economists, scientists, academicians, and researchers.

In today's rapidly evolving world, traditional management approaches often fail to address the complexities of modern challenges. Decision-makers frequently encounter unpredictable environments where Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA) reign; this poses a significant obstacle to achieving sustainable outcomes and can lead to ineffective decision-making. By presenting cutting-edge research and theoretical frameworks, Chaos, Complexity, and Sustainability in Management equips seasoned professionals, researchers, and students with the tools to navigate the complexities of adaptive systems and make informed decisions in a VUCA world. It delves into decision-making in strenuous environments, systems thinking, and sustainable management practices, providing practical insights and strategies for addressing these challenges. Through a comprehensive exploration of these concepts, readers will understand how to thrive in turbulent times.

This book highlights recent findings in industrial, manufacturing and mechanical engineering, and provides an overview of the state of the art in these fields, mainly in Russia and Eastern Europe. A broad range of topics and issues in modern engineering are discussed, including the dynamics of machines and working processes, friction, wear and lubrication in machines, surface transport and technological machines, manufacturing engineering of industrial facilities, materials engineering, metallurgy, control systems and their industrial applications, industrial mechatronics, automation and robotics. The book gathers selected papers presented at the 5th International Conference on Industrial Engineering (ICIE), held in Sochi, Russia in March 2019. The authors are experts in various fields of engineering, and all papers have been carefully reviewed. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to a wide readership, including mechanical and production engineers, lecturers in engineering disciplines, and engineering graduates.

These proceedings represent the work of researchers participating in the 5th International Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (ICIE 2017) which is being hosted this year by the Multimedia University on 26 - 27 April 2017. ICIE is a recognised event on the international research conferences calendar and provides a valuable platform for individuals to present their research findings, display their work in progress and discuss conceptual and empirical advances in the areas of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. It provides an important opportunity for researchers and practitioners to come together to share their experiences of researching in this varied and expanding field. The conference this year will be opened with a keynote presentation by Prof Dr Murali Raman from the Multimedia University, speaking on "Fearlessness of Failing: Injecting Creativity in Developing an Entrepreneurial Mindset in a Digital World" and in the afternoon the international consultant Mr Philip Merry, who will discuss, "Entrepreneurship, Synchronicity & Leading with Heart: Intuiting the Future in a Quantum World". The second day of the conference will be opened by Prof George Teodorescu; the Chairman of the Danubius Academic Consortium Ecosystem for Integral Innovation, who will be talking about "Integral Innovation, a Brain to Business strategy for Leadership". And an afternoon keynote presentation by Adjunct Prof Dato' Dr Ghazali bin Dato' Mohd. Yusoff who is an Honorary Doctor of Law at the University of Nottingham will address the topic "Islam and Business: Innovation and Entrepreneurship Incorporating Values and Belief in God". With an initial submission of 176 abstracts, after the double blind, peer-review process there are 26 academic Research papers, 2 PhD Research papers, and 1 Work in Progress paper published in these Conference Proceedings. These papers represent truly global research in the field, with contributions from Australia, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, UK and USA.
