Construction Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (CMSMEs) Innovations

“…The results demonstrate that management innovation is among the most significant kinds of innovation within the CMSMEs situated in the northern part of Nigeria.

“…4. Business success period of CMSMEs studied Therefore, product innovation (creation) is commonly done in ventures whose survival relies upon offering products for which options might be accessible from a scope of different contenders (Orstavik et al, 2015). Subsequently, product innovation, described by inventively making novel qualities through waste and value decrease, becomes important aggressive situations for enterprises to endure and thrive.…”

“…Subsequently, product innovation, described by inventively making novel qualities through waste and value decrease, becomes important aggressive situations for enterprises to endure and thrive. (Orstavik et al, 2015). Moreover, product innovations further happen in the assembling of planned construction materials and hardware creation of the built environment (Orstavik, 2015).…”

“…This remains partly a key obstacle to the achievement of numerous CMSMEs (Kuratko et al, 2014;Arundel et al, 2019). Complexity renders the assessment and evaluation of innovation in CMSMEs and construction troublesome, as innovation created through the interaction between construction companies, consultants and clients are regularly not grabbed (Orstavik et al, 2015).
