Drucker on knowledge worker
“Increasingly, the human being does not work in mass production, but in what might be called ‘team production.’ And that means that increasingly the producing human being is a knowledge worker. Workers as they did before the Industrial Revolution, own the means of production. The means is between their ears.”
Peter Drucker as quoted in Patricia Panchak, “The Future of Manufacturing: An exclusive interview with Peter Drucker”, Industry Week, September 21, 1998, pp.. 102-104.
