This paper conceptualizes the dynamic co-evolution mechanisms operating in an ecosystem across multiple organizational scales. It introduces a 'patch-dynamics' framework, informed by biological modeling, to capture disequilibrium, uncertainty, disturbances, and changes in organizational populations or ecosystems within complex, dynamically evolving resource environments. Simulation models demonstrate the framework's functionality and robustness, integrating equilibrium and disequilibrium perspectives, co-evolution, uncertainties, and disturbances. The framework offers a new perspective for analyzing business environment sustainability and health, particularly under uncertainty and disturbances.
