Description
The global industrial landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, marked by the emergence of Industry 5.0—a paradigm that transcends the traditional focus on automation, efficiency, and productivity to prioritize human-centricity, resilience, and sustainability. In this context, Navigating Change: Advances in Management and Commercial Practices in the Industry 5.0 Context present a timely and comprehensive examination of the advanced strategies, frameworks, and innovations that are shaping this new era.
Unlike previous industrial revolutions, Industry 5.0 emphasizes the harmonious collaboration between humans and intelligent systems, promoting technologies that serve not only economic goals but also societal and environmental well-being. This transition necessitates a reconfiguration of industrial processes, leadership models, organizational cultures, and policy frameworks, thereby challenging conventional approaches and compelling stakeholders to adopt more holistic and adaptive methodologies.
This edited volume brings together a distinguished cohort of international scholars, practitioners, and industry experts who offer critical insights and practical guidance on navigating change in the Industry 5.0 environment. The contributions within this book span a wide range of disciplines and sectors, addressing topics such as smart manufacturing, human-machine synergy, digital transformation, sustainable development, workforce empowerment and innovation governance.
Each chapter provides a nuanced exploration of both theoretical perspectives and real-world applications, underscoring the complexity of the contemporary industrial ecosystem and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. Case studies and empirical findings enhance the practical relevance of the content, making the volume a valuable resource for academics, policymakers, industry leaders, and other stakeholders engaged in shaping the future of industry.
