The tendency to marginalize young people for increasingly longer periods in educational settings, vocational training programs, & employment schemes is discussed against the background of the development of the Swedish welfare society & the comprehensive reforms of the Swedish educational system. The belief in prolonged education as a solution to youth unemployment has resulted in a 90% participation rate in secondary education & the exclusion of youths under age 18 from the labor market. A plethora of employment schemes has led to a lockup effect & the creation of an "unemployment career" that keeps young people out of the regular labor market even in times of economic boom. As a counteractive to the governmental schemes, several local alternatives have been established. The effects of these alternatives on the youth employment situation are analyzed & compared with traditional employment schemes. Though the creation of local employment initiatives for youth can be seen as a move away from traditional centralized labor-market policy, expectations that alternative youth enterprises will be able to solve the youth unemployment problems in Sweden are not realistic, if youth participation in traditional labor remains at a low level. 3 Tables, 2 Figures, 2 Photographs, 38 References.

Recently, developments in digital technology have fuelled the emergence of online platforms that match the supply and demand of goods and services. In most European countries, platform work is still small, but it is strongly and rapidly developing. The types of work offered through platforms are ever-increasing, as are the challenges for existing regulatory frameworks. However, we still know very little about platform work, and there is a lack of understanding of the challenges regarding the working conditions and social protection of platform workers. Employers' and employees' organizations so far have no sharp solutions, and the Croatian government seems to prioritize other political issues. Although stakeholders are usually informed, the discussion about regulating platform employment and its possible widespread persistence has not started yet in the majority of EU countries. Particular attention in this paper is dedicated to the situation and determinants of platform work in Croatia.

While the scientific literature concludes that collaborative innovation is not a new concept, definitions are often contradictory and its implementation remains enigmatic. Therefore, this thesis in management aimed to address the issue by stating its main question as follows: "How do we capitalize on the new forms of work organization targeting collaborative innovation in regions supporting smart specialization strategies? The case of coworking spaces". As a consequence, the following research objectives have been formulated: 1. To analyze the collaborative dimension of the organization of work in order to detect its innovative potential; 2. To identify management processes that foster collaborative innovation using the case of coworking spaces; 3. To conjugate these processes at the level of a territory in order to propose an integrative management model capable of enhancing the potential of collaborative innovation. The thesis was articulated around three levels of analysis: conceptual, conjunctural and territorial. Empirical research has focused on several case studies: 11 coworking spaces in France and 6 coworking spaces in the United States. The triangulation of the data from semi - structured interviews, documentary analysis and empirical observation helped produce quality results. The conceptual analysis permitted to clarify the notion of "novelty" associated with the new forms of work organization, as well as their innovative potential; thus, this level of analysis aimed to outline the collaborative innovation analysis grid, the conceptual schema of the thesis. The conjunctural level of the analysis proposed an enriched conceptual diagram by integrating the elements of the fieldwork. Finally, the territorial analysis provided an integrative model of the territorial management of collaborative innovation. On the one hand, these results are meant to raise awareness of the new implications of collaborative work and its potential, particularly collaborative innovation; on the other hand, they emphasize the importance of space and the importance of the three types of communication - communication for coordination, communication for information, and communication for inspiration - in the management of collaborative innovation. Thus, they underline multiple opportunities to define new (public) policies for the management of (territorial) collaborative innovation. ; Alors que la littérature scientifique décrète que l'innovation collaborative n'est pas une nouveauté, les définitions sont souvent contradictoires et sa mise en œuvre reste énigmatique. Par conséquent, cette thèse en sciences de gestion a souhaité apporter des clarifications et des premiers éléments de réponse à travers la problématique centrale suivante : " Comment appréhender les nouvelles formes d'organisation du travail au service de l'innovation collaborative dans le cadre des territoires inscrits dans une démarche de stratégie intelligente ? Le cas des espaces de coworking ". Plusieurs objectifs en ont découlé : 1. Analyser la dimension collaborative de l'organisation du travail afin de déceler son potentiel novateur ; 2. Identifier les processus de gestion qui favorisent l'innovation collaborative en utilisant le cas des espaces de coworking ; 3. Conjuguer ces processus au niveau d'un territoire afin de pouvoir proposer un modèle de gestion intégratif capable de démultiplier le potentiel d'innovation collaborative. La thèse s'est, donc, articulée autour de trois niveaux d'analyse : conceptuel, conjoncturel et territorial. La recherche empirique s'est concentrée sur plusieurs études de cas : 11 espaces de coworking en France et 6 espaces de coworking aux États-Unis. La triangulation des données à partir des entretiens semi-directifs, de l'analyse documentaire et de l'observation empirique a contribué à une meilleure qualité des résultats obtenus. L'analyse conceptuelle nous a permis de clarifier la notion de « nouveauté » associée aux nouvelles formes d'organisation de travail, ainsi que leur potentiel novateur, afin de pouvoir esquisser la grille d'analyse de l'innovation collaborative, le schéma conceptuel de la thèse. Le niveau conjoncturel de l'analyse propose, donc, un schéma conceptuel enrichi intégrant les éléments du terrain. Enfin, l'analyse territoriale a donné lieu à un modèle intégratif de gestion territoriale de l'innovation collaborative. Ces résultats visent, d'un côté, la prise de conscience de nouveaux enjeux associés au concept de travail collaboratif et son potentiel, notamment l'innovation collaborative ; et de l'autre, la prise de conscience de l'importance de l'espace et des trois types de communication - communication pour coordination, communication pour information, communication pour inspiration - dans la gestion de l'innovation collaborative afin d'envisager de nouvelles politiques (publiques) de gestion de l'innovation collaborative (territoriale).
