Abstract: In the contemporary economy, intellectual resources are the main driving force of economic, social and technological development of an organisation. This issue is particularly significant for development of organisations in Poland. The article presents a preliminary research carried out among a group of 32 managers from Polish companies belonging to the sector of small and medium enterprises by participants at “Polish-American School of Business – the Executive MBA Programme organised by the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology. The applied research method consisted in the managers answering 27 multiple choice questions. The vast majority of the questions concerned the respondents' understanding of the notion of intellectual resources, the methods of their protection, the procedures used to protect them, as well as the persons responsible for their management in the organisation. The content of the survey and the findings are presented in the form of response maps. An analysis of the obtained survey results indicates low interest of the issues of intellectual resources management.
