Abstract

Believing that collaboration drives innovation and innovation drives company success. For example, Google wants employees from across the company to talk with each other (Waber, 2013). The company invests in providing physical spaces that foster employee conversations. Google New York City occupies a large single story office without physical barriers between people and groups. Its California campus encourages people to collaborate spontaneously as well as facilitate scheduled meetings. The company’s physical spaces promote a community where people support each other and become friends. Google invests in helping employees feel happy to be a part of a community, and therefore more loyal and productive.
