Name : Industry 5.0 Skills: A Hierarchical Categorization
Author : Seda Güğerçin,Utku Güğerçin
Abstract :
Despite the increased focus on the skills required in the Industry 5.0 (I5.0) era, there remains a significant gap in the literature regarding the categorization of these skills, particularly in relation to the organizational levels at which employees operate. To bridge this gap, this study aims to develop a hierarchical categorization of in-demand I5.0 skills according to organizational levels. By synthesizing insights from three key frameworks, 1) the World Economic Forum's "Future of Jobs Reports", 2) Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and 3) Katz's managerial skills, this study offers a structured framework for understanding and categorizing I5.0 skills. A systematic literature review was conducted to outline the in-demand skills in I5.0, the target audience expected to possess these skills, and the categorization of I5.0 skills at various organizational levels. The findings from the systematic literature review were utilized to establish a hierarchical categorization of in-demand I5.0 skills.The analysis highlights the importance of human-centered approaches, advanced digital literacy, and sustainable practices in the workplace, as well as the need for upskilling and reskilling to bridge the skills gap in the I5.0 era.The results are anticipated to provide valuable guidance for human resources management in recruitment, reskilling, and upskilling strategies, ultimately enhancing organizational effectiveness and reducing long-term costs.

Name : Impact of Moment Marketing Towards Brand Awareness: Youngster's Perception
Author : Pooja Verma, Astik Upadhyay,Dr Padma Singhal,Dr Shailesh Pandey
Abstract :
During the era of social media and digital advertising, businesses have used Moment Marketing as their strategic approach. Companies operate by entering existing breakout trends with strong public attention. The industry has adopted moment marketing as its independent marketing strategy. Moment marketing refers to a company's proactive response to a customer's reaction to an ad campaign, a brand post, a recent brand association, or any other current event. The approach utilizes suitable messages during opportune moments, thus making them appear utterly spontaneous. The low-cost method of moment marketing serves as an effective technique to promote viral content through various platforms. The practice of instant marketing facilitates greater client participation through two-way communication channels. The research examines how moment marketing affects how customers become aware of brand names. The brand awareness of customers is influenced by product understanding, pricing, moment awareness, post clarity, post timing, post online platform, emotional user involvement, and virility of the post. The research will establish how different aspects of moment marketing affect Brand awareness.

Name : A Rapid Miner-Based Data Mining Study on Consumer Behavior in Apparel Retail
Author : Nai-Chieh Wei,An-Yu Guo,Tzu-Jou Liao
Abstract :
In the era of big data, firms increasingly rely on predictive analytics to understand customer behavior; this study applies machine learning techniques via the RapidMiner platform to analyze consumer behavior in apparel retail. Using three years of purchase and sales data from the girls' apparel line of retail, a children's clothing brand, we construct Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, and Random Forest models to evaluate the impact of product attributes (style, color, material, and size) on sales performance. Following the CRISP-DM framework, the data are cleaned, categorical variables are one-hot encoded, and the dataset is split into 60% training and 40% testing sets. Model performance is compared using accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and ROC-AUC. The Random Forest model outperforms the others, achieving the highest accuracy (85.0%) and ROC-AUC (0.918), and identifies key attributes that drive sales. These findings provide actionable insights for inventory optimization and targeted marketing, demonstrating the practical value of predictive analytics in apparel retail decision-making.
