The enhanced result of two or more people, groups or organizations working together. In other words, one and one equals three! It comes from the Greek "synergia," which means joint work and cooperative action. The word is used quite often to mean that combining forces produces a better product. However, in the field of software development, synergy is not the result. In many cases, the more people assigned to a programming job, the more the quality suffers. See Freedman's law.

DSP was formed in October 2005 through a merger of Dainippon Pharmaceutical and Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals, based on a firm conviction that this move would allow the two companies to capture significant synergies by sharing a common management philosophy, business strategies and sense of urgency. The attraction is also one of the first synergies from a deal completed last May that formed NBC Universal by combining the assets of NBC, part of General Electric Co. The merger is expected to generate cost synergies reaching approximately $2. |
