We show that the effective theory of a supersymmetric model can violate SUSY at the level of dimension six operators and higher. This phenomenon occurs in gauge theories which involve heavy vector-superfields and different mass scales. It appears in SUSY GUT theories and is important in models of propagating Higgs boundstates.
The possibilities for an underlying theory behind an effective supersymmetric Nambu--Jona-Lasinio like model of electroweak symmetry breaking with propagating Higgs boundstates (e.g. supersymmetric topcondensation) are investigated. The concept of a renormalizable underlying theory turns out not to be appropriate. We argue that the new theory should come from the Planck scale and be connected to supergravity. Such a model can be constructed but necessarily implies a nonlinear definition of the full Lagrangian.
