“…However, the collective evidence suggests that coworking environments also tend to explore and experiment with adapting their models to cope with increasingly popular online collaborative platforms, mainly due to local governments' fear of restrictions. Ceinar and Mariotti (2021), who examined the obtained data and observed pandemic-driven response patterns by coworking spaces in Europe, reached a similar set of conclusions. The majority of coworking spaces sought alternative business models and explored tools that would support their user base needs, mainly by strengthening their online efforts to foster collaborative activity and retain users in selected networks.…”

“…Besides organizing the said digital sessions, coworking space can enhance their external communication efforts and act as virtual talent hubs. As with their physical counterparts, they can identify the skills of their users and promote their services that their members can offer as a side gig on an individual or communal basis (Ceinar & Mariotti, 2021). With the Covid-19 pandemic impacting the production and consumption patterns of individual workers, communal activities with external target groups can further enhance the virtual mobility of coworking space users and contribute to strengthening the supportive community within (Gao & Sai, 2020;Orel, 2021).…”

CBDC (central bank digital currency) is a rising economic topic internationally in the last few years. CBDC is not yet introduced as payment tool, beside the pilot projects. The first choice to be made is to use the CBDC in a certain national economy or not, and it is based on political aims, economic interests, objectives of business development and social welfare. Meanwhile the taxonomy of CBDC is quite complicated and growing in abundance, even before the official circulation had started. There is not "one option fit all" scenario for CBDC. It is theoretically possible in one and the same national economy different CBDC types to be used, as per aims to be reached. Highly developed economies are likely to have different choices than the lower developed ones; the macroeconomic reasoning, might lead to decision on CBDC different than the micro economic ones. The choice for a CBDC volume/ share of all national money, the choice when to have CBDC, other choices like convertibility, trans border CBDC operation opportunities, privacy, specific incentives and limitations continue the list of complex choices to be made for CBDC. The final decision compromise is up to the prevailing economic philosophy of policy makers. Although CBDC as any fiat money form is a state matter, it could not survive without the support of the population. The final choice belongs to money users-companies and people.

“…Nevertheless, recent studies addressed the resilience of CWS exploring the corporate model contrasted with community-based practices dealing with social interactions and social changes in the geographical context they are situated in (Gandini & Cossu, 2019;Ivaldi et al, 2020). In addition, we assume that there are ongoing social changes in CWS in local communities due to the Covid19 pandemic that altered how CWS operates, engages, and develops as knowledge-intensive places in urban areas (Ceinar & Mariotti, 2021;Mariotti, Akhavan & Rossi, 2021).…”

Sharing of spaces enhances networking and collaboration in cultural and creative industries on both formal and informal levels. Nevertheless, there is a lack of awareness concerning coworking spaces (CWS) and their resilience through knowledge sharing in communities, especially in space-community-coworker interactions. The aim is to identify how CWS enhance their resilience through knowledge sharing in communities and develop collective learning in local creative ecosystems to promote adaptation. A total of 34 in-depth face-to-face interviews with CWSs founders or managers and seventeen creative entrepreneurs in selected CWS in Europe. Using content analysis by axial and selective coding of the collected primary data, groups of codes were eventually integrated to interpret the issue by its contextualization using grounded theory as a research approach in such qualitative study. Results suggest that CWS strengthen their resilience through cross-over innovation with diverse stakeholder engagement and spillover effects of knowledge sharing as a part of space resilience. These initiatives contribute to community resilience with a focus on entrepreneurial thinking and career development. CWS develop interactive learning models as initiatives to retain and attract creative entrepreneurs in communities. The paper concludes that CWS can develop a creative ecosystem with systematic collective learning engaging different stakeholders.

“…Recent industry reports and studies foresee growth opportunities for coworking spaces (e.g., Ceinar and Mariotti 2021 ). Coworking Resources ( 2020 ) estimate that the number of coworking spaces worldwide will pass 40,000 by 2024, up from 20,000 in 2020.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to many firms reassessing how to deal with their communities. In this study, we focus on a coworking space and examine how the management staff and its coworking community reacted to the pandemic. The uniqueness of coworking spaces is that the community is both the paying customer and it is an integral part of the coworking value proposition. For this paper, a case study in Amsterdam was analyzed and the symbiotic relationship between the coworking space and one of its key resources (the community) was examined. We build on dynamic capabilities theory to identify the processes of how a firm and its community maneuver through the pandemic. We propose that in vibrant times, firms and communities should work in close alignment in order to sense, seize, and transform resources and opportunities.
