1. COWORKING BUSINESS MODEL
From this point of view, a new business model of coworking
is becoming a global, preponderantly urban, phenomenon
specifically among autonomous creative individuals
and independent professionals, self-employed people
and micro-businesses (Brown, 2017).
This new kind of business model has led to a transformation within the way people
work together, engage and cooperate
(Leclercq-Vandelannoitte & Isaac, 2016).
Co-working spaces have been seen as a recent phenomenon for those who are
freelance, own a small-sized business, or enjoy working in a shared, community
setting (Lazo, 2018).
According to experts, co-working spaces are seen as shared places for independent
professional workers.
In other words, co-working spaces are localized spaces where independent
professional workers interact with sharing common resources and are free to
disseminate their information with the rest of the community (Capdevila, 2013).
