Nowadays, enterprises have to face new challenges. Today, it is not enough to manufacture an unusual brand with new features. Now, a competitive advantage is based on know-how. Therefore, it is in the interest of any firm to introduce or improve the system of intellectual property management. Various firms use different approaches to achieve an improvement in their know-how. The first companies to implement the system of management of know-how were organizations where know-how is a key product and, at the same time, a main resource - consulting companies mentioned in this paper, e.g. HUTMEN S.A. which, through cataloguizing of their know-how wants to ensure an easy access to relevant information; Skandia Group - undertakes a number of initiatives promoting the intellectual property; Toyota - know-how management processes are based on specific organizational culture whose particular elements constitute their chief assets which determine key competence. One can note that the complexity of management of know-how and the intellectual property of an enterprise correlate strongly with its financial condition. Therefore, one should develop and enhance the know-how management methods in order to successfully increase the intellectual property of their enterprise.
The aim of the article is to explicate Polanyi's idea of science in aspect of its origins, i.e. criticism of Marxist policy of planning in science followed by defence of scientific freedom in initiating and conducting research independently of any extraneous pressure. The first part of the article contains reconstruction of Polanyi's interpretation of Marxist idea of science that denies a key distinction between pure and applied science, reconstructed in the second part. Further two parts describe Polanyi's criticism of planning in science and expound his idea of scientific freedom. Part five consists in synthetic reconstruction of his notion of science in its four dimensions - objective (verbal and non-verbal), personal, habitual and social.

Definitions of organizational culture usually focus on shared symbols, rituals, behavioral patterns, or even propositional assumptions concerning reality. Such phenomena represent heterogeneous collection of objects, events, and processes. Instead, the paradigm of integrated humanities defines organizational culture in terms of beliefs which provide both practical instructions for agents and shared interpretative schemes which guide the understanding of the environment. In this context, the process of “sensemaking” is understood as a knowledge-based act of cultural sense-giving or of culturally mediated construction of organizational reality. Since the meaning-creation process seems to be both culturally mediated and knowledge-based, the perspective presented in the paper is defined as an “epistemic model of organizational culture”.
