Collaborative Spaces and Fablabs

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.
