The study discusses the three roles of normative assumption in the theory and practice of innovation management: (1) they define the value of innovation, (2) specify its luck, and (3) determine some goals and methodologies of managing the luck of innovations. The crucial questions of the investigation are as follows: What does 'luck' mean in theories of innovation management?, and What is luck in the practice of innovation management? The conceptual analyses present logical links which occur between the normative premises of some canonical theories of metaethics and definitions of luck. In the context of these analyses the study discusses some prerequisites for responsible decisions relating to innovations. The paper illustrates some ways of using philosophical methods in the theory of innovation management.

W pracy przedstawiono fenomenologiczną analizę doświadczenia wartości w przeżyciu emocjonalnej imersji w grach. Tekst pokazuje dwa jego warianty: emocjonalną iluzję oraz emocjonalne kłamstwo. W emocjonalnej iluzji gracz  emocjonalnie dystansuje się względem własnej hierarchii wartości, aby rozkoszować się grą. W emocjonalnym kłamstwie emocje motywują graczy do decyzji iezgodnych z przyjętą przez nich hierarchią wartości. Zaproponowano wyjaśnienie tych oświadczeń w kontekście niektórych teorii racjonalnego działania.

This paper specifies competences and skills of methodologically rational decision making and their impact on security of organisations. The study indicates some reasons for developing the competencies and skills in education, professional development and taking them into account in the recruitment. It is the practical aim of this paper. Its scientific aim is to formulate and to partly justify general hypotheses concerning the impact of methodologically rational and irrational attitudes of members of organisations on their security. We apply the method of ideal types of Max Weber and phenomenological analyses, which concern intentionality of methodologically rational and irrational mental attitudes.
