The article is a result of the literature review in terms of freedom in management concept. The term freedom has many interpretations, which depend on the context of its analysis. Freedom in management is related strongly to the responsibility concept. There are also other dimensions like opportunities or incendiaries but also related to personal and organisational conditions. Undoubtedly, freedom is a fundamental value, but not the only one. Freedom in management sciences is a complex and multidimensional concept. Admittedly, without freedom, it is impossible to achieve other values on which organisations are built. This theoretical discussion aims to explain the role of freedom in management in contemporary practices of organisations and value in their development.
