It is a mbehaviour: a matter of our values, our attitudes and actions. Innovation and the philosophy of sustainability, together with strategies and resultant outcomes are opening new perspectives on life, they are enabling companies to base their growth and success on their unique competences, perspectives, and markets as recognized by their needs and global economy is giving more and more power to horizontal networking, gglobal market niches, new business and social modeling. All these visions are leading to an increased awareness about the potentiality of innovation as the main source for valueitself. It is manifest in technological, organizatsystem thinking, system science and an holistic understanding of business, opportunities, and impacts.
