The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Cooperative interaction among groups that creates an enhanced combined effect.

In toxicology (the study of poisons), synergy describes an process by which two or more contaminants or toxins combine to pose a cancer risk several hundred or even several thousands of times higher than each pollutant might pose by itself. The exact mechanisms of synergy are unknown. In a recent experiment with yeast, the synergistic effects of a variety of contaminants suggested that scientists barely understand how the modern cocktail of chemicals present in water affects the human body, a potentially alarming prospect for water engineers. For now, all contaminants are regulated individually, as that is the way scientists traditionally calculate public health threats. In the real world, each of us is exposed not just to one contaminant, but to tens of thousands. See environmental estrogens.
See synergistic interaction.
Describes a combination whose value is greater than the sum of the separate individual parts.

When two or more substances produce an effect of which each is individually incapable. Tannin A natural component found to varying degrees in the skins, seeds and stems of grapes; most prominent in red wines, where it creates a dry, puckering sensation in young reds of concentrated extract; mellows with aging and drops out of the wine to form sediment; a major component in the structure of red wines.
Added value arising from the working together of two or more organisations.
The idea that combined parts have properties that are more or less that the sum of the parts (positive-sum or negative-sum rather than zero-sum). Related to emergence but much wider. The negative-sum version is sometimes called dysergy, leaving synergy to mean only beneficial effects also studied as symbiosis, 'holistic darwinism', 'synergistic selection', 'synergic evolution', 'cooperative coevolution' or 'compositional evolution' and many combinations thereof.
The interaction of two or more agents to produce a total effect greater than the sum of the effects of the individual agents.
The combined or cooperative action of separate agencies, which have greater total effect together than the sum of their individual efforts.
How projects work together, avoiding duplication but creating partnerships by which the whole is greater that the parts.
The combination of two separate media texts or products that share similar characteristics so that one helps market the other.
This is agents working together harmoniously; coordination in the action of muscles, organs or substances.
In an acquisition or merger, when the value of the combination is greater than the sum of the individual parts: Synergy = VAT - (VA + VT).
The effect created by economies of scale or other post-acquisition benefits. The realization of increased discretionary cash flow (as a result of the combination of two or more business operations over and above the aggregate discretionary cash flow of the two businesses viewed separately), or reduced risk in attaining same.
The effect from a combination of drugs which is greater than the addition of its individual effects.
The effective combination of two or more actions or projects.
When one and one equals more than two. It's when the end result equals more than the sum of the parts.
the interaction of risk factors such that the total effect is greater than if the risk were added or multiplied.
an interaction between agents (e.g., drugs) that produces an effect greater than the combined effects of the same agents used separately.

A combination of chemicals that brings about some type of risk.
The effect of two or more agents working together to produce an effect that is greater than the sum of the parts.
The simultaneous action of separate agencies, actions, or forces which, together, have a greater total effect than the sum of their individual effects; said especially of drugs, herbs, foods.
Agents working together and in harmony to produce an effect greater than the sum of the two separate agents
combined or co-operative action of two or more parts that together increase each other's effectiveness

A principle which states that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
aka Synergism - A condition in which the combined results of a group of elements or people are greater or better than the individual elements could have produced separately. A list of ideas from an interactive group is likely to be more creative than adding together the lists produced by those same people working independently.
Agents that work harmoniously together, or where the total effect is more affective than the individual parts. A synergistic oil blend combines a variety of oils to produce a new aroma with a different therapeutic effect.
Complementary products may boost each other's sales, or complementary improvement projects may gain more than the sum of their benefits.
when chemicals or drugs are used together, they may show negative or positive synergy. Positive synergy occurs when the sum of the effects of chemicals acting together is greater than the additive effects of the individual chemicals. Negative synergy occurs when the sum of effects of the mixture is less than that of the individual components of the mix. Antioxidant mixtures commonly exhibit positive synergy, although negative synergy can also occur.
The effect of a combination of separate actions or operations that make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. When one business buys another, synergy is often the goal—that the combined enterprise will perform better than the previously separate companies because it is more efficient.
Refers to the interaction of two or more drugs in such a way that their combined effects are greater than the sum of the individual effects observed when each treatment is administered alone.

A combined effect or action.
Synergy or synergism (from the Greek synergos, συνεÏγός meaning working together, circa 1660) refers to the phenomenon in which two or more discrete influences or agents acting together create an effect greater than that predicted by knowing only the separate effects of the individual agents. It is originally a scientific term. Often (but not always, see Toxicologic synergy, below) the prediction is the sum of the effects each is able to create independently.
