Autor przybliża zagadnienia związane z kierowaniem naukowcami i inżynierami pracującymi w obszarze B+R (dalej: "pracownicy B+R"). Zagadnienia te są szczególnie istotne ze względu na to, że pracownicy B+R są pracownikami wiedzy, a wiedza jest kluczowym źródłem przewagi konkurencyjnej. Peter Drucker (1993) stwierdził, że wiedza jest "jedynym, a przynajmniej głównym" ważnym dziś "producentem bogactwa". Poszukując specyfiki działalności B+R w kontekście zarządzania pracownikami wiedzy, autor odwołał się do dziewięciu cech wyróżnionych przez Clarka (2002), wyróżniających ją innych rodzajów działalności: niepewność, długookresowość, ciągłość, szczególna rola średniego personelu kierowniczego, rola IT, rola outsourcingu, konieczność doskonalenia się, różnorodność pracowników. Analizując poszczególne czynniki, autor przedstawia swoje wnioski dotyczące sposobów nie demotywowania tego jednego z najważniejszych typów pracowników w organizacjach, które w swoich strategiach stawiają lub zamierzają stawiać na innowacyjność i kreatywność.

The author discusses issues concerning the management of scientists and engineers that work in the field of R&D, who will further on be called "R&D workers". The matters that are presented in this article are particularly important on account of the fact that R&D workers are knowledge workers and knowledge is the key source of competitive advantage. According to Peter Drucker (1993), nowadays knowledge is "the only, or at least the main" important "producer of wealth". In his search for the specificity of R&D activity in the context of managing knowledge workers the author made reference to the nine characteristics defined by Clark (2002), which distinguish it from other types of activity: uncertainty, long periodicity, continuity, the particular role of middle management, the role of IT, the role of outsourcing, the need for improvement, the diversity of employees. While analyzing these respective factors, the author presents his own conclusions with respect to the ways of not discouraging this type of most important workers in organizations that in their strategies aim at innovativeness and creativity.
