Synergy is the enhanced results of interaction between two or more people, groups, or organizations, such that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Or 1+1>2.
Synergy has theological origins as a term describing cooperation of human effort with divine will. It comes from the Greek words synergia (cooperation) and sunergos (working together).
In modern theories of both marketing and consumerism, synergy is an essential objective in business transactions.
Example: Cooperative interaction between consumers and business within a particular society or community creates a synergistic increase for both groups: For Business, this means increased sales and profits. For Consumers, this means their "quality of life" is improved.
The synergistic increase realized by these two groups also continues to build a synergy of increased prosperity for their surrounding community or society.
