Abstract

The symposium explores the relationship between innovation, proximity, hybrid business models, and the emerging hybrid society. Proximity fosters collaboration and innovation, supported by publications such as Granovetter's "The Strength of Weak Ties." However, the convergence of physical and digital realms, known as the "4th Space," profoundly affects individuals, organizations, and society and hence also how ‘proximity' is being defined. At the same time, hybrid business models integrate traditional and digital elements, creating value and fostering communities in the 4th Space. At the symposium, we will discuss the multifaceted aspects of these topics and their implications for research and application.
