Challenges of studying knowledge work

Just to summarise some of my thinking behind previous post. I believe that there are several challenges of studying knowledge work:

• finding a way to address knowledge work as a system of interrelated activities (with networking in the list of activities)
• discovering and understanding invisible aspects of knowledge work (did I mention that my PhD project ID is Iceberg?)
• understanding what is needed to ‘manage’ knowledge work, which is discretionary and can not be controlled

Were you able to guess that I’m writing a paper? I am :)

• Invisible work
• Bringing your network into your organisation
• Multitasking vs. cross-fertilisation
