DMI2024 was the third edition in the conference series Digitalization and Management Innovation (DMI), held annually.

DMI2024 was held as a hybrid event from 25 to 27 October, onsite in Beijing, China and online. The conference achieved a high attendance rate of more than 100 participants from more than ten countries.

This book is divided into four parts: Part 1: Digitalization and Business Model, Organizational Behaviour in Digital Transformation; Part 2: Management Innovation and Innovation Management; Part 3: Special Session on “Lifelong Education”; Part 4: Interdisciplinary Applications of Digitalization and Management Innovation. The most popular topics in this book concern management and digital aspects such as transformation, business and different kinds of chain.

A total of 293 submissions were received for the conference. These were meticulously reviewed by programme committee members, who carefully considered the breadth and depth of the research topics falling within the scope of DMI. Following the review, 88 of the most promising and FAIA mainstream-relevant contributions were selected for inclusion in this book, resulting in an acceptance rate of 30.03%. These selected papers present original ideas or results of significant importance, underpinned by rigorous methodologies, clear reasoning, and compelling evidence.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all the keynote and invited speakers, authors, and anonymous reviewers for their invaluable contributions, which were instrumental in fostering the success of DMI2024. Additionally, we are profoundly grateful to all those who dedicated their time and expertise to evaluating the submissions, particularly the members of the programme committee and our diligent reviewers. Their efforts have been crucial in ensuring the quality and success of this conference. It is an honour to have started from the beginning with the publication of these proceedings in the prestigious series Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications (FAIA) from IOS Press. Our particular thanks also go to the FAIA series editors, for supporting this conference.
