Summary: 
This research focused on industrial/innovation collaboration between China and Croatia and investigated the magnitude and effects of cooperation, motives, obstacles, and perspectives for cooperation, and provided suggestions on how to improve this collaboration in today’s turbulent economic and political environment, which might facilitate policy planning of cooperation between enterprises in both countries. The study presented case studies from interviews with managers of companies on innovation collaboration in CEE (the countries in Central and Eastern Europe)/Croatian and Chinese markets. We examined cross-national innovation collaboration, which refered to the process by which organisations and companies from different countries work together to create, develop, and implement innovative ideas, technologies, or solutions.
