Abstract: Research and development (R&D) activity is an important source of knowledge for innovative processes in business entities. In practice, this activity is accompanied by numerous dysfunctions that reduce the efficiency and universality of the functioning of the R&D sphere. One of them is random, intuitive management. The aim of the publication is to attempt to analyse the level and dynamics of selected measures of R&D activity, to assess the prevalence of this activity in Polish business entities and to propose directions for improvements in the management of the R&D sphere. The article was prepared using the following research methods: cognitive-critical analysis of selected literature on the subject to identify the research problem; descriptive-comparative method for the presentation of a research problem; statistical method to determine the percentage shares of selected measures; and the projection method to propose the concept of rational management of R&D&I activities. The time range of the study covers the years 2018–2021. The subject scope concerns the level and dynamics of selected measures of R&D activity in Poland. The source of empirical data for the analysis of the phenomenon are publications of the Central Statistical Office. The analysis of the source material indicates a relatively low level of adopted measures of R&D activity and their dynamics on a national scale, and in the adopted cross-sections of analysis, as well as the random, intuitive nature of R&D management.
