“…There is a need to take into account this reality and to manage it. Lesca (2008), based on Aguilar (1967), uses a radar metaphor to show the importance of looking ahead in business. Firms are like ships in storms.…”

“…Ships need radars and firms need to look ahead. According to Lesca (2008), looking ahead or anticipating means detecting warning signs of a possible change in the environment, to act as soon as possible before the change is complete. To do this, firms must be active and not just wait for information to come to them.…”

“…Without anticipation, a firm is like a ship caught in a storm without radar, it would probably be inefficient. Lesca (2008) distinguishes anticipation from forecast. With forecast, we expect a unique solution and certitude, and we are angry if what was predicted does not happen.…”

This study proposes a model of interwoven careers. This topic stems from interviews that showed that although future deck officers expect their future career at sea to last from 10 to 15 years and that the rest will be spent on shore, the maritime transport industry’s only goal is to attract and retain them as seagoing officers. This ambivalent situation leads us to develop a model of interwoven careers that is new. It takes into account both the individual and the organization. This is neither a traditional career model nor a boundaryless model. We used Morin’s complexity theory to understand boundaries, which move “within” organizations when, for instance, maritime industries offer deck officers to work on shore and sometimes at sea, and “across” organizations when they develop partnerships to help their employees attain their goals as well as retaining them in their organization.
