Sažetak
This paper is part of a research project titled the European Manufacturing Survey conducted in most European countries and led by the Fraunhofer Institute, Karlsruhe, Germany. Therefore, the results presented in the paper refer to the Croatian sample only. The survey instrument is developed by the Fraunhofer Institute and is conducted in parallel by all participating countries in order to facilitate cross-country comparisons. In this work we only consider questions addressing innovation and try to find in what way Croatian companies should seek and foster innovation given the fact that Croatia has a problem of a significant lack of investment resources. The questions we address are divided into four groups which will later become latent variables. The first variable is a construct from thirteen questions on process innovation ; the second variable is constructed from thirteen questions addressing management innovations ; the third product variable is constructed from five questions addressing new product launch and development and the fourth latent variable is represented by the respondents’ answers to four questions on some financial indicators, i.e. R&D investments, exports, return on sales and a share of overhead costs in total costs.
