This paper addresses the fields of social and service design in development contexts, practice-based and constructive design research. A framework for social design for services will be explored through the survey of existing literature, specifically by drawing on eight doctoral theses that were produced by the World Design research group. The work of World Design researcher-designers was guided by a strong ethos of social and service design for development in marginalised communities. The paper also draws on a case study in Namibia and South Africa titled ‘My Dream World’. This case study presents a good example of how the social design for services framework functions in practice during experimentation and research in the field. The social design for services framework transfers the World Design group’s research results into practical action, providing a tool for the facilitation of design and research processes for sustainable development in marginal contexts.

The article substantiates the methodological tools for the formation of the mechanism for implementing the strategy of sustainable economic development of the hotel and restaurant industry. To ensure the operation of the mechanism, a system of indicators and criteria for assessing the process of sustainable economic development, based on accelerating the growth of efficiency and reducing operating costs through reserve and progressive development of resource potential of the enterprise. The paper identifies the stages of sustainable economic development of the enterprise, which include: identification, grouping and analysis of factors of progressive and reserve development, their classification and determining the degree of influence on the growth of operational (production and administrative and marketing) activities, progressive development of resource potentials; development of regression models and indicators of progressive, reserve and sustainable (static and dynamic) economic development, which explain the patterns of influence of factors on performance indicators; forecasting the parameters of efficiency and cost of production and commercial activities; formation of the volume and structure of investments by types of capital investments that ensure the progressive development of resource potentials, economic growth and sustainability of the enterprise. A methodology for creating regression models and indicators was developed, which provided an opportunity to assess and predict the ratio of resource costs and the level of operational efficiency, as well as change the performance indicator by changing the values of factor parameters or their total value in different combinations. The algorithm of the organizational and economic mechanism of realization of strategy of management of steady economic development of the enterprise of hotel and restaurant sphere is constructed. This algorithm provided the ability to determine the reserves of available resources, as well as to establish the required size and structure of capital investments that reduce costs and increase the efficiency of production and administrative activities.
