2015 IASC Thematic Conference on Urban CommonsShift of paradigm
towards collaborative economy
A major trend in the informational society. At the heart of our
economies, a diversification and increasing importance of
collaborative practices can be observed. By proposing alternative
paths of value creation and sharing, these practices open new
perspectives in terms of consumption, production and innovation
models. The players of this emerging collaborative economy are
diverse: their objectives, attitudes towards collaboration and
sharing, their methods of work as well as their business models are
heterogeneous.

New organizations within collaborative economy paradigm
The phenomenon of collaborative spaces is spreading around the
world. Co-working, fab-lab, contamination lab and other
collaborative experiences are emerging in both urban and rural
contexts.
Collaborative spaces can be considered as commons?
Yes, according to the P2P foundation commons interlinked
components:
a resource (material and/or immaterial; replenishable and/or
depletable);
the community which shares it (the users, administrators,
producers and/or providers);
the use value created through the social reproduction or
preservation of these common goods;
the rules and the participatory property regimes that govern
people's access to it.
Research question
Which is the collaborative spaces value chain? And how it
differs from the conventional conceptualization elaborated by
Porter at al. (1985)?
Method
Literature review about the conventional value chain of Porter
elaborated in 1985 and its evolutions
Qualitative research based on the territory of Rome:
Mapping of co-working spaces in the Rome area (25)
Focus groups with all co-working managers actually mapped
Participant observation in some co-workings
Semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders of the
co-workings
In-depth interviews with key stakeholders
1 year and a half of field research (on-going)

The value chain design for the collaborative spaces, such as
co-workings, represents an evolution of the CSR value chain that
