Special issue on present and future of production in Asia Pacific countries.

This special issue discusses the present and future of production in the Asia Pacific region, which drives the current world economy. Based on the region's massive working population, production in the Asia Pacific region has led to economic growth, and the GDP share of this region has increased from 20% to 30% in the past 40 years, almost equalling that of the other regions. Considering the above background, this special issue was planned for selecting and presenting interesting and meaningful research papers that deal with current and future production, not only just productions but also services, in the Asia Pacific region.
