Based on extensive research involving more than one hundred companies and six hundred knowledge workers. Thingking for a living provides rich insights into how knowledge workers think, how they accomplish tasks, and what motivates them to excel.Davenport identifies four major categories of knowledge workers-transaction,intregration,expert, and collaborative-and present a unique framework for matching each category with management strategies that yield the greatest performance.
