Introduction
A coworking (or co-working) space provides individuals or groups with desk space, meeting rooms and offices.
According to wikipedia (8/2017), “Coworking is a style of work that involves a shared working environment, often an office, and independent activity. Unlike in a typical office environment, those coworking are usually not employed by the same organization. Typically it is attractive to work-at-home professionals, independent contractors, or people who travel frequently who end up working in relative isolation.”
Coworking spaces are different from incubators, accelerators, colliders or executive suites, although there can be overlap. For example the impact hub network are part of innovation lab, part business incubator, and part community center.
For Spinuzzi (2012:433) “xoworking is a superclass that encompasses the good-neighbors and good-partners configurations as well as other possible configurations that similarly attempt to network activities within a given space.”. He identified two major configurations or coworking:
- Good neighbors: "unoffice metaphor", work is parallel and collaboration happens as neighbors who want to stay neighbors.
- Good partners: "federated workspace", collaboration as partners.
