Summary/Abstract: The object of the present study is the theory of knowledge in respect to economics. The subject of the study is the organization of the process of scientific knowledge as resources, activities and results, with a specific emphasis on its rational technological form, which received scientific recognition as a methodology. The attempt to transition from philosophical knowledge about methodology to concrete algorithms on the way to creating new knowledge is not new in methodological literature. In the present study, however, a retrospective analysis of the evolution of scientific methodology is carried out, pleading for greater rigor in handling the inherited methodological tools. It reveals not only the methodology of scientific research, but also scientific policy (especially in teaching and in the entrepreneurial application of science), as a connecting link between the needs of practice and the development of cutting-edge science. Even if the decision on the normativity of the methodology is not fully accepted, it is enough to create a desire among researchers in economics to organize and observe the necessary order in the process of scientific knowledge.
