The 5th International Conference on Management Science and Software Engineering (ICMSSE 2025) convened in Nanjing, China, from October 24 to 26, 2025, serving as a distinguished forum for international scholars, engineers, and industry professionals. The conference successfully facilitated interdisciplinary dialogue across management science and software engineering domains, fostering the exchange of cutting-edge research and innovative methodologies. Participants presented theoretical breakthroughs and practical solutions that advanced both academic frontiers and technological applications. The event's collaborative environment particularly encouraged emerging researchers while reinforcing the synergy between management principles and software engineering practices. Through rigorous peer review, the proceedings captured high-quality contributions reflecting the conference's commitment to scholarly excellence and industrial relevance. This volume exemplifies ICMSSE's pivotal role in bridging theoretical research with practical implementation, strengthening global academic networks, and accelerating the translation of scientific achievements into real-world impact.

The conference featured distinguished keynote presentations that substantially enriched the scholarly discourse and reinforced its interdisciplinary mission. Assoc. Prof. Sikandar Ali Qalati from Liaocheng University delivered a compelling analysis entitled "Social Media Usage by Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Developing Countries", which systematically examined digital adoption patterns among emerging market enterprises and elucidated their strategic implications for competitive positioning and sustainable growth. Prof. Rami Khalil of Sichuan International Studies University presented "Innovative Leadership in a Digital Era", offering a comprehensive exploration of transformative leadership frameworks essential for navigating technological disruption and fostering organizational resilience in rapidly evolving digital environments. Prof. Kittisak Jermsittiparsert from the University of City lsland contributed an empirical investigation titled "Impact of Innovation Climate, Innovation Process, Management Innovation, and Team Innovation on Product Development in Thailand", which provided nuanced insights into multi-level innovation drivers and their catalytic effects on product development cycles within Southeast Asian industrial contexts. These presentations collectively advanced the conference's intellectual agenda by bridging theoretical constructs with practical applications, fostering interdisciplinary synthesis between management science principles and software engineering imperatives. Their contributions illuminated critical pathways for digital transformation, highlighted region-specific innovation dynamics, and provided actionable frameworks for organizational adaptation, thereby reinforcing the conference's commitment to producing research with both academic rigor and substantial industry relevance while establishing benchmarks for future scholarly inquiry in these convergent domains.

The Organizing Committee extends sincere gratitude to all participants, distinguished speakers, and peer reviewers whose scholarly engagement ensured ICMSSE 2025's success. We recognize the invaluable contributions of program committee members, session chairs, and volunteers whose diligent coordination sustained seamless operations throughout the event. Institutional support from sponsors and academic partners provided the essential foundation for this international forum. The collaborative discourse and intellectual generosity displayed cultivated fertile ground for future innovation. We anticipate that the connections forged and knowledge exchanged will continue inspiring interdisciplinary research, strengthening the vital synergy between management science and software engineering to advance both theoretical frontiers and practical applications in our rapidly evolving digital landscape.

The proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Management Science and Software Engineering (ICMSSE 2025) capture a comprehensive spectrum of cutting-edge research traversing critical intersections of contemporary management paradigms and software engineering innovations. This volume encompasses peer-reviewed contributions addressing strategic management analytics, organizational behavior in digital ecosystems, software architecture optimization, and data-driven decision-making frameworks—domains that collectively advance both theoretical foundations and applied methodologies. Reflecting the conference's thematic breadth, selected papers explore emergent topics including social media's transformative role in enterprise development, digital leadership models, and multi-level innovation dynamics, thereby mirroring the intellectual currents shaped by our distinguished keynote speakers. The rigorous double-blind review process ensured that only research demonstrating exceptional scholarly rigor, methodological soundness, and practical relevance attained publication. These collected works establish vital benchmarks for academics and practitioners navigating the evolving landscape where management science converges with technological imperatives. By disseminating these findings, the proceedings serve as an enduring catalyst for interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering solutions to complex organizational challenges while accelerating the translation of scholarly inquiry into impactful industrial applications.
