| Summary: | Makerspaces are community areas where members share access to tools to produce goods. The managers of these sites tend to develop businesses closely related to areas of their own interest. In other words, assuming managers are decision makers who define organizational policies and strategies, we can note that everyone’s motivation impact on decisions made for the space. This study focuses on investigating manager characteristics to find possible convergences and divergence between them. The research is based on an exploratory qualitative analysis, which includes an interview with three makerspaces’ manager in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The research is part of a program developed by researchers of the Design Postgraduation Program at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. This research’s purpose is to combine the knowledge between management and the maker philosophy. Three typologies were arranged by the results: (1) entrepreneur manager, who is characterized by high social awareness and orientation to the future; (2) artisan manager, who is characterized by fidelity to education and traditional practices; and (3) technical manager, who presents a profile focused on exploring new technologies and supports collaboration in digital networks. This study’s development has brought to light an understanding that makerspaces can have the same physical structure, however, they can have different characteristics according to their managers’ profile. |
