Originated as a biological term, refers to the way two or more ecologically interdependent species become intertwined over time (As these species adapt to their environment they also adapt to one another. Today’s multi-business companies need to take their cue from biology to survive.

Rather than plan collaborative strategy from the top, as traditional companies do, corporate executives in coevolving companies should simply set the context and let collaboration (and competition) emerge from business units) |
