Coworking in the context of clusters

Kamyla Symara Gonçalves, Francisco Alberto Severo de Almeida and Marcelo Duarte Porto

Abstract: 

The aim of this study This study aims to verify whether coworking spaces are associated with the concept of industrial clusters, constituting themselves as microclusters.The methodological basis of the investigation is centered on the theoretical conceptual model of investigation called the microcluster conditioning paradigms and the teleology of coworking. The results of the empirical investigation were analyzed using inferential statistics.The inferential analysis was based on the application of Pearson's Correlation technique to determine the degree of association between the independent variables called microcluster conditioning paradigms and the teleology-dependent variables of coworking and the use of F statistics to obtain the significance test of the hypotheses. Pearson's Coefficient of Variation was also applied to assess the homogeneity of the data in relation to the studied variables. From the data obtained, it can be said that there is evidence of an association between the conditioning paradigms of microclusters and the teleology of coworking management. Thus, it is inferred that the Coworking space presents characteristic and interactive similarity of business clusters, so it is pertinent to classify it as a microcluster system. The contributions of this study are relevant to understand the dimensions of Coworking spaces as Microclusters and may bring entrepreneurs a new vision about their business.
