Iconic management thinker Peter Drucker more than four decades back spoke about the rise of the knowledge worker who as opposed to the manual worker provided value to organizations using knowledge.

This person is independent, results oriented and creates business innovations. Source:-  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/rise-knowledge-worker-20-alexandra-levit
