Before 2019, coworking spaces were flourishing, however the COVID-19 pandemic put growth on hold. As organizations have begun to move towards more hybrid ways of working, they are becoming the preferred option and are particularly attractive for new business ventures. There are significant gaps in the research of coworking spaces: their forms, configurations, influences, challenges, and how to manage transformations of incumbents when establishing spaces. The trend is being noticed, but a better understanding of the phenomenon and a consideration of management innovations is needed to fully harness the true possibilities of coworking spaces.

In Awakening the Management of Coworking Spaces, the chapter authors combine a scientific approach with managing implications, developing theoretic constructs, reporting qualitative and quantitative findings about challenges, potentials, effects, managerial solutions, and success stories. The contributors are academics and practitioners, bringing together their research and real-world experiences to help organizations shape best practices.

An applicable and scholarly collection of chapters offers the latest research on coworking spaces – both the benefits and challenges – and provides a roadmap for corporations to get the best out of their employees whilst maximising their potential.

Dieses Buch beantwortet die Frage, wie sich die Innovationsfähigkeit von Unternehmen im demografischen Wandel erhalten oder sogar steigern lässt. Dabei sehen die Autoren Diversität – gerade auch im Bereich von Kompetenz, Wissen und Alter – als Erfolgsfaktor für Innovationen an. Hier ist von entscheidender Bedeutung, die grundlegenden Kommunikations- und Koordinationsprozesse in den Teams genauer zu analysieren. Aus unterschiedlich gewonnenen Befunden verschiedener Disziplinen entwickeln die Autoren praxisnahe Werkzeuge, die helfen, Herausforderungen auf der praktischen Ebene des betrieblichen Alltags besser zu bewältigen. Darüber hinaus werden diese Werkzeuge aus der Perspektive der betrieblichen Praxis evaluiert.
