Abstract
This chapter delivers an exhaustive analysis of work organization transformation, spotlighting coworking spaces as a symbol of this evolution. It traces the metamorphosis from industrially-imprinted to information-based and thence to virtually-integrated work models examining shifts from traditional structures like Fordism and Taylorism, through Toyotism and lean management, to Waymoism, Uberization, and coworking. It explores coworking spaces to be more than a spatial arrangement, and delves into the major transformation from firm-based to project-based work, to cooperative action and community-based management of work organizations. This shift is based on the long-term transformation of value-chain organization, as well as on a fundamental change in economic logic and resource utilization during the last century. The analysis substantially advances current research on work organization by presenting coworking spaces as not merely an alternative, but as a transformational model reshaping modern work practices. Furthermore, the multi-dimensional approach of the analysis promotes conceptual frameworks which foster future exploration of the broader socio-economic implications of these transformations.
