Due to the unpredictability and rapid progress of AI, research on AI integration into the innovation process is, therefore, becoming more important. This article introduces a practical framework for the integration of AI into the innovation landscape. Collaboratively developed through consultations with scholars from diverse disciplines and industry professionals, our framework offers a practical guide for innovation leaders seeking to navigate the complex terrain of AI technologies. This study introduces a conceptual framework that illustrates the impact of AI technologies on the stages of the innovation process based on the specific benefits they intend to achieve. Focused on the key aspects of the innovation process, including idea generation, idea selection, project design and implementation, and commercialization, the framework highlights specific AI technologies—such as natural language processing, image processing, and analytics—with the aim of achieving fundamental objectives: enhancing workforce efficiency, reducing costs, saving time, and improving quality. Designed specifically for corporate administrators and innovation leaders, our framework offers a useful instrument for navigating the complexities of AI integration in innovation.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"54 2","pages":"204-216"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148518780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The series delves into the experiences of entrepreneurs, researchers, and organizations at the forefront of the quantum revolution, offering insights into team management, innovation, and ecosystem development. Canada's vibrant quantum computing ecosystem is undergoing rapid expansion driven by a combination of government support, world-class academic institutions, and a thriving entrepreneurial community. The 5th Workshop on Quantum Computing Entrepreneurship, held during IEEE Quantum Week 2024, was organized by volunteers from the IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society, IEEE Entrepreneurship, and the Institut quantique. This workshop explored the key pillars of Canada's quantum ecosystem, showcasing the experiences of those driving the quantum revolution. These pillars encompass national and regional organizations that foster ecosystem growth, quantum accelerators that facilitate technology transfer from academia to industry, and the startups driving commercialization. Beyond offering valuable insights into the Canadian quantum ecosystem, this article also highlights fundamental components essential to any quantum ecosystem, given the current maturity of the technology.

The purpose is to recognize the characteristics, similarities, and differences of the Industry 5.0 (I5.0) and Society 5.0 (S5.0) models and to propose scenarios with distinctive features to determine which of them will prevail in the future. The approach of the study is deductive; the strategy is exploratory; and the method applied is mixed. The quantitative method was developed through a longitudinal scientific mapping performed in Web of Science and Scopus databases. The qualitative method was carried out through an exhaustive review of the literature using terminology connected to the topics explored. This mapping made it possible to identify the countries, institutions, scientific collaboration networks, and leading authors in these fields of knowledge. The results revealed convergent and divergent attributes between the two approaches. There is a set of technologies that will predictably prevail, regardless of the model adopted. However, key differences in the approaches and in the dynamics of human–technology interaction were also identified. It is assumed that both models are complementary in the use of technologies, but their fundamental difference lies in the approach. I5.0 focuses on the sphere of high-end manufacturing, with an emphasis on enhancing human creativity and labor welfare through technological integration, while S5.0 prioritizes a broad social spectrum and integrates various aspects of life where there is an intelligent audit of the use of technology.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"54 2","pages":"79-104"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148517907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Governmental efforts involve educating the perishable food sector about the advantages of circularity. The transition to circularity necessitates a reassessment of current business models and an emphasis on innovative practices. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to identify the potential enablers of government support mechanism in the transition from sustainability to circularity in perishable FSC. Furthermore, the study ranks the enablers according to their respective significance, adopting fuzzy simple additive weighting (SAW) method. Fuzzy SAW approach is selected as it can handle uncertainty and vagueness in the decision-making process, which is common when dealing with qualitative factors and subjective judgments. The study evaluates seven alternatives in relation to four criteria using the fuzzy SAW method. The findings from the study highlight fostering collaborative partnerships, innovative infrastructural support, and enforcing regulations and standards as the top three ranked enablers. The study contributes to the existing literature on sustainability and circularity in FSCs. The results from the study can assist the industry in focusing efforts on circularity and help businesses align practices with government policies.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"54 2","pages":"163-183"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148513962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research specifically investigates supply chain resilience within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) sector, a critical area given that consumer goods are integral to daily life and their continuous availability is essential. Using a case-based method, this study engaged in structured interviews with supply chain managers and practitioners from multinational FMCG companies known for their extensive global operations in manufacturing and product sales. Although limited to two cases, deliberately selected to represent contrasting supply chain configurations (centralized versus decentralized), the design enabled the identification of both shared and divergent practices. The findings show that both firms fully implement planning-level strategies such as digitalization, collaborative planning, and redundancy tradeoffs, which emerge as universally adopted resilience measures. By contrast, the decentralized case emphasizes local supplier diversification and collaborative logistics, while the centralized case relies on strategic stocks, supplier integration, and production standardization. These results highlight that resilience practices depend on supply chain configuration. The study acknowledges the restricted sample size as a boundary condition and points to future research on hybrid or transitional strategies.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"54 2","pages":"63-78"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148517285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
