Abstract

Aim: Collaborations established by living things belonging to different species in nature are considered as "Symbiotic Relations" in Biology. The purpose of this research is to determine whether similar relationships exist at the healthcare, maritime and other industries and organizational level.
Methods: The research was handled in a descriptive type. In this context, the conceptual framework of the subject was created by examining the Management and Biology literature.
Results: In addition, whether the defined symbiotic relationships exist in existing industries has been exemplified by making inferences from observations and reports.
Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was determined that healthcare, maritime, tourism, textile, food, universities and technology industries mainly developed mutualism, partially commensalism and parasitism in a limited number of their relationships.

Keywords
