Synergy

•Synergy: • Interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater

than the sum of their individual effects•3 Conditions of Synergy:

1.Sharing: • All elements should contribute to a particular task

2.Flexibility/Stability: • Task is performed properly or at least better, compared to what could be expected

if elements acted independently3.Task-Dependence:

• Form a different synergy for a different purpose based on the same set of elements

•Peach Tree Example

•Different Types of Synergy:• Human, Biological Science, Toxicological, Drug, Pest, Media, Computer and Corporate

Operational Synergy

1. Economies of Scale: Decreases long run average cost.

2. Greater Pricing Power: Higher market share and low competitions.

3. Combination of Different Functional Strengths:Good product line with powerful marketing skills.

4. Higher Growth in New or Existing Markets:Improved Market Access & brand name recognition

Examples:  Sony-Ericsson and Walt Disney.
