“…Rare exceptions include research by Butcher (2013), which applies Bordieu’s conceptualization of habitus to the symbolism of community; Liimatainen (2015), which defines community in social network terms as “the composition of actors and the connections among them” (p. 52); Garrett, Spreitzer, and Bacevice (2017), which examines how types of interactions contribute to a sense of community; and Rus and Orel (2015), which analyzes community through four characteristics (functional, structural, cultural, and territorial). Further, Toivonen’s (2016) study, in examining the Hub network, draws on Adler and Heckscher’s concept of collaborative communities to argue that social innovation communities—including some coworking spaces—represent emerging collaborative organizations.…”

Coworking spaces are shared working environments in which independent knowledge workers gather. Coworking is consistently described in terms of community and collaboration—yet these terms are defined inconsistently in the coworking literature. This study reviews the literature on coworking to better examine how community relates to collaboration. To anchor a more systematic analysis of community in coworking, the authors introduce Adler and Heckscher’s typology of communities; apply it to a study of six coworking spaces in the United States, Italy, and Serbia; and develop the typology to better understand coworking.

“…Além disso, alguns estudos mostram que esta junção é sinérgica e possui resultados mais impactantes. Nesse sentido, pode-se observar que, por exemplo, Comunidades de Inovação Social (CIS) são tidas como um apoio significativo para empreendimentos sociais em estágios iniciais (TOIVONEN, 2016). Nessa configuração, a IS contribui para o ES.…”

O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir as aproximações teóricas entre construtos na adoção de uma perspectiva empreendedora com foco em inovação social. Há um posicionamento comum entre pesquisadores de que quando se descreve o empreendedorismo social (ES) e a inovação social (IS) muitos consideram estes termos sinônimos (HULGÅRD, FERRARINI, 2010), entretanto neste artigo, eles serão tratados como aspectos distintos de uma ação maior para um bem comum. Os procedimentos metodológicos seguiram para uma revisão sistemática qualitativa utilizando a análise de conteúdo para extrair temas dos textos que tratam tanto de inovação social como empreendedorismo social. Dentre os aspectos que encontramos como maiores aproximações entre ES e IS são em suma que: a) A IS precisa de um meio social para se concretizar, assim como a ES; b) Alguns tipos de ES podem gerar IS; c) O surgimento de ES e IS independem de setores específicos; d) ES e IS trazem mudanças nas práticas sociais; e e) Tipos de ES e IS podem conviver conjuntamente em um ambiente de rede. Concluiu-se que com a inovação social sendo também causada pelo empreendedorismo algumas implicações podem ser observadas quando se trata da gestão social (TENÓRIO, 2008), principalmente no que concerne a participação social nas mudanças mais sistêmicas. Recomenda-se que nos estudos de ES e IS estejam manifestadas em seus textos quais são os paradigmas que estão sendo alicerçados, assim como posições filosóficas ou alegações do conhecimento de forma que seja possível o delineamento de um caminho epistemológico mais claro.

Experiences in social innovation point to a collaborative work, in which several types of players connect in a network to seek solutions to the problems inherent in the less favored population. In this sense, the aim of this paper is to identify the constituent elements of collaboration networks for social innovation in the context of social incubators. This study used a qualitative, descriptive research approach and case study method. Data were collected through document analysis and semi-structured interviews. Based on the thematic analysis of the primary data, it was concluded that the constituent elements of collaboration networks for social innovation in social incubators are: partnerships (networks of players and different types of partnerships); collaboration (mutual help, commitment and trust); self-management (shared leadership, joint decision-making and shared processes); empowerment (recognition and construction of identity); resources (financial, material and human); learning (training, lectures and sharing of experiences); and sustainability (economic, social and environmental
