The "Information Factory" knowledge work as production
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Patterson re-iterates many commonly understood program management principles here, but he also launches a very perceptive discussion of knowledge work as an "information factory" in which information can and should be treated as physical products are in a normal factory.

A must-read chapter for anyone managing knowledge work!
