Hi luuducquan, thanks you for your topic. I think it is very useful for everyone who need to know these terminologies. Besides your ideas, i also want to contribute some definitions about cultural synergy which i think they will help you and classmates can know clearly about this concept.
Synergy is cooperative or combined action that can occur when diverse or disparate group of people with varying viewpoints work together.The objective is to increase effectiveness by sharing perceptions, insights, and knowledge. But synergy is more than simply working together toward the mutual achievement of certain goals. The power of synergy rests in the reality that “when solving
problems, groups are often smarter than the smartest people within them” (Surowiecki, 2004, p. G1). Consequently, when ordinary people using available resources are allowed to freely exchange opinions and argue points of view,extraordinary results can occur.
Synergy is also vital in solving complex international business problems.When a European conglomerate purchases the controlling rights of a U.S. rubber manufacturer or Common Market partners join together in a joint venture to produce an innovative airplane, synergistic skills are required. Differences in organizational cultures in these instances can either undermine the intended actions or can be used to enhance goal achievement. Synergy is needed to pool resources, talent, and capital for successful operation.
