Preface

Today many corporations and governments face hard days because of economicrecession, and their most concerns are with innovations and locomotives, whichcan forward their organizations to obtain more profits even in the hard days. Allthe people know it looks impossible. On the other hand some corporations andgovernments are successfully enjoying their management of the organization.

How could they succeed such a miracle? We can point various reasons includinginnovation, successful management of technology and engineering, successfulcustomer-oriented affective marketing, customer’s emotion-based design and manu-facturing, human-centered computation, and human-centered problem solving. Butwe can say it is not possible in narrow and conventional framework to solve suchissues.

Another direction is to change our profit-oriented management. Some societiesare is very much successful in living on their own quality of life. This meanswe have to work more on human-centered management than on human centeredmanufacturing.

Our most concerns are interdisciplinary research studies. Especially we em-phasize on the collaboration among innovative management, information, andproduction. Three years ago, we started this symposium to work on such issuestogether starting from a small group of research scholars. Some are joininghere from management, marketing, social science, mathematics, econometrics,economics, accounting, or engineering as well as from psychology and politics.

This edited book is published in the IMIP2012 proceedings. In IMIP2012, weselected about four keynotes and 40 papers out of those submissions. We believethe papers included in the proceedings book will give some suggestion to solve ormitigate our difficult issues. Since our concerns cover wide ranges, the acceptedpapers are related to various problems. But the focal concern is the one that willsolve our fierce issues we are facing today.

Our research studies are very much related to social and humanity sciences eventhough we are greatly concerned with engineering. The production cannot onlybe discussed from the perspective of production engineering but also should bedecided from the scope of management, marketing, economy, etc. Many research

topics are multidirectional. This conference perspective should influence productionengineering from the perspective of the management and information as same asmanagement and information should not be self-contained and self-absorbed sci-ence. All the fields are interrelated. Therefore, we have to work on interdisciplinaryfields proposed in this IMIP symposium.

At the end I express our sincere appreciation to the USSH—VNU-HCMC,Vietnam, that provides this chance of opening the symposium in the university.We should send many appraisals to Professor Hung T. Nguyen, New Mexico StateUniversity, Professor Vladik Kreinovich, University of Texa at El Paso, ProfessorKun-huang Huarng, Feng Chia University, Renshou Zhang, Zhejiang GongshangUniversity, and other committee members who initiated the start of the conference.I hope this small step will be the start of our wide strides of big progresses by thisinternational conference.
