Notice: Call for Papers for the Academic Workshop on "Systems Management Innovation Driven by the Digital Economy to Develop New Quality Productive Forces"
Workshop Guest Editorial Board:
Professor Yao Jianming (Renmin University of China)
Professor Yan Qiang (Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications)
Professor Tang Fangcheng (Beihang University)
Professor Liu Yubin (Tianjin University of Finance and Economics)
Background Currently, with the development of the digital economy, the deep integration and extensive application of digital technologies (e.g., AI, Blockchain, IoT) and data elements are driving socio-economic systems to transition from linear structures to nonlinear structures characterized by networking, intelligence, and dynamism. This process has not only birthed new value-creation models and promoted the development of New Quality Productive Forces but has also reconstructed the operational logic and industrial value paradigms of management systems.
To explore the evolutionary laws of organizational forms, industrial structures, and governance systems, the Journal of Systems & Management is hosting this workshop. The goal is to reveal the collaborative mechanisms of technological transition, element integration, and value innovation, providing frontier insights with both theoretical depth and practical effectiveness for academic research, corporate practice, and policy design. Outstanding papers meeting the journal's requirements will be granted priority publication in regular issues.
Systems Management Innovation Driven by the Digital Economy to Develop New Quality Productive Forces.
We welcome research utilizing methodologies such as theoretical analysis, modeling, empirical studies, case studies, and simulations. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
Theory and Methods of Systems Management Innovation: How innovations centered on AI, green technology, and data elements reconstruct the operational logic of management systems. Revealing the systemic operational mechanisms of the digital economy in promoting new quality productive forces.
Digital Transformation Strategy and Operations for New Smart Cities: Theory, methods, and practices regarding how emerging technologies empower smart city transitions, intelligent resource operations, service provider synergy, and the integration of industry and city under urban renewal.
Logistics and Supply Chain Network Optimization and Innovation: Researching how digital technology drives the intelligentization of supply chain systems to improve operational efficiency, providing a scientific basis for corporate decision-makers and policymakers.
Industrial Ecosystem Innovation in Emerging Sectors (e.g., Low-Altitude Economy): Exploring collaborative development models between the digital economy and the Low-Altitude Economy. This includes the digitalization of airspace resources, intelligent flight management, and scenario innovations like drone logistics, agricultural inspection, and urban security to build a "Digital Tech + Low-Altitude Resources" ecosystem.
