Abstract: Today’s industrial context leads companies to use collaboration and partnerships to tackle global issues and create value. For diversified business groups, it represents a good opportunity to make the most of their internal competencies by creating new synergies between their subsidiaries to foster innovation. However, building successful collaborative projects remains a complex process. Thus, an action research approach was used through a case study in a French diversified business group to have in-depth and intrinsic observations in the complex dynamics of collaboration and innovation management. This paper presents a method to create cross-subsidiary collaboration structures on innovative and strategic topics, with theoretical and practical recommendations.
