Positive and negative effects of synergy are
"Positive synergy is sometimes called the 2 + 2 = 5 effect. Operating independently, each subsystem can produce two units of output. However, by combining their efforts and working together effectively, the two subsystems can produce five units of output.
Negative synergy can be called the 2 + 2 = 3 effect. Again, individuals operating alone can each produce two units of output. However, with negative synergy, the combination of their efforts results in less output than what they would have achieved if they had each worked alone. Negative synergy can result from inefficient committees, business units that lack strategic fit, and from other poorly functioning joint efforts." (see above link)
Describe the relationship among synergy and:
problem solving
- Two people or a team are often better than one if they work together and feed off each other in solving the problem
- Bringing more than one perspective on an issue together leads to a better decision
- It is very difficult to build a consensus without positive synergy
