Fab Labs are transforming work and organizational landscapes, representing a "new revolution" in production processes and learning. These collaborative spaces enable the creation of almost anything through free access to digital fabrication tools. Emphasizing innovation, Fab Labs value individual and collective human intelligence, crucial for collaborative success. This book explores the organizational and economic aspects of Fab Labs, offering insights into their impact on internal dynamics and the surrounding ecosystem. Filling a gap in existing literature, it provides an integrated view of collaborative spaces, contributing to a more comprehensive knowledge base. With an emphasis on management, barriers, and self-organization, this work aims to guide those in the rapidly growing collaborative space sector. Ideal for researchers, academics, and professionals in organizational management and innovation.

Collaborative Spaces at Work
Collaborative spaces are more than physical locations of work and production. They present strong identities centered on collaboration, exchange, sense of community, and co-creation, which are expected to create a physical and social atmosphere that facilitates positive social interaction, knowledge sharing, and information exchange. This book explores the complex experiences and social dynamics that emerge within and between collaborative spaces and how they impact, sometimes unexpectedly, on creativity and innovation. Collaborative Spaces at Work is timely and relevant: it will address the gap in critical understandings of the role and outcomes of collaborative spaces. Advancing the debate beyond regional development rhetoric, the book will investigate, through various empirical studies, if and how collaborative spaces do actually support innovation and the generation of new ideas, products, and processes. The book is intended as a primary reference in creativity and innovation, workspaces, knowledge and creative workers, and urban studies. Given its short chapters and strong empirical orientation, it will also appeal to policy makers interested in urban regeneration, sustaining innovation, and social and economic development, and to managers of both collaborative spaces and companies who want to foster creativity within larger organizations. It can also serve as a textbook in master’s degrees and PhD courses on innovation and creativity, public management, urban studies, management of work, and labor relations.
