However there is a growing realization that knowledge work (at least in the way it is done most of the time) is not the holy grail of work.In fact, the Wall Street Journal featured an article called When Work is Invisible So Are Its Satisfactions where Homa Bahrami, a senior lecturer in Organizational Behavior and Industrial Relations at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business is quoted as saying "Not only is work harder to measure but it's also harder to define success. The work is intangible or invisible, and a lot of work gets done in teams so it's difficult to pinpoint individual productivity."What is changing in India and the..." - Gautam Ghosh
