Summary/Abstract: The article aims to analyze the pressure that can be exerted by 4 owners of research and development (R+D) companies in Poland over their 5 employees. To analyze the power of co-owners of the R+D companies, 6 cooperative game theory tools are used, namely, Shapley-Shubik and 7 Banzhaf power indices. It is found that there is an owner with a dictatorship 8 power, with power index equal to 1, in the vast majority of the companies, 9 and there are few cases with dispersed ownership. Therefore, the R+D sector 10 in Poland is comprised primarily of the units in which the single powerful 11 owner plays the major role. Pressure exercised over the scientists employed 12 in these companies may follow; however, whether the pressure is actually 13 exerted, cannot be determined by analysis of power indices.
