“…Marketing innovation's main purpose is to better meet consumer needs, enter new markets, or place a company's product on the market with the intention of growing company revenue. Cuevas-Vargas and Parga-Montoya [69] analyzed the effect of private commercial banks in Jordan on marketing innovation. Based on their results, marketing innovation has been shown to have a beneficial impact on the development of long-term competitive advantage and the growth of companies.…”

Innovation, which leads to process changes and product development, tends to increase the sustenance of companies and helps firms to expand faster and more effectively, eventually more profitably than non-innovators. Innovation is commonly seen as a key source of sustainable competitive advantage in a changing environment. However, the success of the hospitality industry relies a lot on how well they gear their innovations towards preserving the natural and cultural attractions that make tourist/customers to visit their destinations. This study, therefore, is empirically designed to explore how innovation types, which include process, product, marketing, and organizational innovation, impact performance of hotel firms in Ghana. With top-level managers being our target respondents, 680 star rated hotels were purposely sampled from the hospitality industry, among which 550 hotel firms provided valid and accurate responses. Data obtained from the survey through the administration of a well-structured questionnaire was analyzed through SPSS statistical package. Through the estimation of series of regression models using the Hierarchical regression method of analysis, we witnessed that process, product, marketing, and organizational innovation employed as innovation types have palpable and statistically significant liaison with performance of hotel firms in Ghana. We, therefore, conclude that, for hotels to achieve high firm performance, personnel within the firm should be encouraged and empowered to develop innovative mentalities and abilities. In addition, hotel firms and the industry at large should be abreast of current trends of sustainability and endeavor to gear their innovation operations towards a more sustainability-oriented firm since incorporating sustainable innovative strategies into firms’ operations will not only create a good image and reduce cost but would also safeguard the natural attractions that guests patronize.

“…Estimates indicate that civil construction represents 40% to 60% of urban solid waste in large cities. In many cases, this waste has been deposited in clandestine spills, on banks of rivers and streams, on vacant lots and, in some cases, landfills [1,2]. Faced with so many impacts caused by this waste, researchers and companies have been looking for environmentally responsible solutions, adapting to the principle of 5 R's -Recycle, reduce, reuse, rethink, refuse [3].…”

The aim of this work is a development and characterization of a sustainable product from solid waste from civil construction. Morphology of collected waste has been analyzed by SEM/EDS. Residues have been macerated, mixed in different proportions with cement and water, and made into rectangular boxes. Mechanical test has been carried out by flexing three points on specimens, absorbing water and analyzing fracture by SEM. Morphology of samples have shown a heterogeneous and porous mass, with particles of different sizes, few agglomerates, and presence of organic material. Resistance to average rupture of samples has been obtained in MPa, characteristic of concrete for structural application. For CDR to be used in sustainable ceramics, it is recommended to improve a process of comminution and homogenization to guarantee reproducibility of lots and technological product properties. This being so, a mockup has been developed proposing a hollow element type product, Cobogó style, indicating potential of using civil construction waste as a sustainable product.
