MMBD2025, focusing on the general theme of Big Data and Modern Management along with cutting-edge research topics, has drawn substantial participation from professors and postgraduate students – particularly PhD scholars – from universities worldwide, as well as technicians, policymakers, and senior executives from diverse industries and organizational sectors. The accepted papers primarily address the following key areas: innovation in online education management driven by big data, green supply chain management, big data analytics in supply chains, sustainable development decision-making, digital economy, platform economy, digital innovation, social strategies for human relationship management, total quality management, and modern hospitality and tourism management.

This conference proceedings is structured in three parts:

∙ Part I: Modern Management and Big Data

∙ Part II: Interdisciplinary Field of Modern Management and Big Data

∙ Part III: Special Session on Lifelong Education

All submissions have undergone rigorous and meticulous review by members of the international Technical Program Committee (TPC) and anonymous reviewers, ensuring alignment with MMBD’s research scope in terms of both thematic breadth and analytical depth. From approximately 193 submissions, 58 high-impact contributions representing the most promising advancements in the field and with strong relevance to the series Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications (FAIA) were selected for inclusion.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all keynote speakers, invited presenters, authors, TPC members, and anonymous reviewers whose dedicated efforts have been instrumental in the success of the conference. We would also like to acknowledge the editorial team and colleagues at IOS Press for their collaborative work in publishing this volume as the sixth edition of the MMBD conference series within the FAIA book series.

Finally, we mourn the unexpected loss of Dr. Einar Fredriksson, founder of IOS Press, who passed away on April 30, 2025. His vision and leadership profoundly impacted the academic publishing community, and his legacy will continue to inspire our work.
