what enable the system to adapt to disruptive changes. Rather than looking for one generic business model for sustainability

Nevertheless, the learning process (a feature of foresight) embedded in the proposed framework differs from the one entrenched in other management tools (Appendix 2) as learning also occurs according to the capabilities accumulated within the systems'operation.

The link between learning and strategy around a common vision in the network enables trust to be developed across the system through participatory instruments.

such a common vision to be pursued across the system should be based upon the mutual positioning of network actors in relation to future needs (Cagnin, Amanatidou, and Keenan 2012.

autopoietic systems produce and are a product of themselves (Rocha 2003). Interpreting complex systems from the perspective of ecosystems,

Dempster (1998) coined the expression sympoietic systems, indicating three main differences, related to key system characteristics between autopoiesis and sympoiesis:

1. autopoietic systems have defined self boundaries, while sympoietic systems do not; 2. autopoietic systems are self-produced,

whereas sympoietic systems are produced collectively; and 3. autopoietic systems are closed organisationally, while sympoietic systems are organisationally ajar.

Dempster (2000) concludes that these differences mean that autopoietic systems are oriented homeostatic, development, centrally controlled, predictable and efficient,

whereas sympoietic systems are homeorhetic, evolutionary, distributively controlled, unpredictable and adaptive. According to Dempster, one of the most important differences between autopoietic and sympoietic systeem relates to the balance between their ability to maintain their identity

despite changes in the environment or to adapt their identity to fit changes. The above descriptions present a useful heuristic to complex systems and the interactions between the dimensions of sustainable development

spatial-technological, social, economic, environmmenta or ecological, political-institutional and cultural-values. Living systems share matter, information and energy with their external environments:

there is simultaneous autonomy and interdependence. According to Rocha (2003), complex systems require interactivity: in the same way, it is not possible to understand living systems without perceiving the systemic relationshhip of cells

and there is no possibility of comprehending social systems without taking into consideration the connections that individuals establish with their worlds.

Interactive relationships create emergent possibilities, such as those that are believed to be ingrained in the management framework proposed.

The information and knowledge which are shared throughout the business networks can lead to the networks'adaptation and evolution,

but also enable all actors within such networks to progress towards higher levels of sustainable development. What one part does to another is interpreted indefinitely

the interactions among all the actors within networks characterise the existence of such a system or the network itself.

The system will then be able to make evolutionary leaps characterised by the appearance of emerging properties.

For example, laboratory B has an area of common technical focus with laboratory A through lithography, laboratory C through fuel cells and biological systems,

and laboratory D through biological systems and semiconductors. The identification of these common points directs us to btechnology categoriesq that can be analyzed further to identify the portfolio of technology that characterizes the capabilities of each laboratory.
