This book contains a selection of papers carefully chosen from among those presented at the 6th International Conference on Production Management held in Taiwan in August 2025. The unified theme of the conference was "DX Thinking and Innovation in Production Management," and presentations were based on three areas of research: 1) operations and supply chain management, 2) business strategy and business management, and 3) information technology and its applications. Readers will see how these three fields deal with the creation of innovation that incorporates digital transformation (abbreviated as DX) thinking in the management of business and production.
This valuable resource is relevant not only for researchers, university professors, and graduate and undergraduate students interested in production and business management in general, but also for businesspeople themselves. With its unified theme, the book provides a trove of facts and applications in both theory and practice.
