Synergetic effect and synergy effect is, as they say in Odessa, "two big differences"!

At present, the tendency to interdisciplinary research is gaining momentum in science, a clear proof of this is the penetration of synergetics into various scientific spheres, a science that studies processes taking place in complex, nonequilibrium systems.

As it turned out, the most diverse systems (natural, cosmic, biological, physical, technical, social, etc.) have general laws governing the development of processes as parts of systems, called subsystems, and systems themselves and uniform fundamental laws. The synergistic effect can manifest itself in a variety of variants, but despite this, there is much in common in the manifestations of this effect in many systems and, therefore, the study of various systems can be conducted by similar methods in various sciences. So, the results that have been achieved in physics and mathematics can be tried in other sciences, in particular in the economy, and it is possible in theory and in practice to see how the synergistic Effect in the economy.

Interestingly, for the economy, an implicit desire for interdisciplinarity has been characteristic since the time of Adam Smith. However, the consideration of all the phenomena of reality only in the linear determinism underlying the mechanistic paradigm is recognized by mathematicians and physicists as a very limited approach, a particular case of manifestation of more complex synergetic processes. Synergetics defined the limits of determinism, demonstrated the role of chance and began to study non-equilibrium states. Synergetics enriched the views of scientists on the complexity of processes that take place in the world, inviting the scientific community to start discussing such problems as chaos and order, points and areas of bifurcations, the emergence and development of attractors (simple and "strange"), regimes with exacerbations,

Synergetic The effect is a result of the joint action of the elements of the system, which can lead to a qualitative (emergent) change in its state, choosing one of the possible variants of development under the influence of certain fluctuations.

Synergetic ideas quickly began to penetrate into the economy. An increasing number of economists use in their works such terms as "bifurcation", "attractor", "chaos" and others. Some definitions in the synergetic paradigm have become so popular that sometimes their real values can be quite distorted. One such example is the use of the term "synergistic effect", although it would be more correct to speak in such cases about the effect of synergy. Unfortunately, in the literature and the Internet, it is more common to misunderstand the synergetic effect of exceeding the result of a joint action on a simple sum of individual actions of the system elements (the "1 + 1 = 3" effect). Often economists in their publications consider the synergistic Effect Only as the sum of growth of economic indicators of the enterprise as a result, for example, merger of two or more companies. This is, to put it mildly, not quite true, but to be more precise, it is completely wrong.

In our opinion, the synergistic effect in Economy is manifested as the result of integrative interaction of the elements of the economic system that can lead to a change in the qualitative state, the ways of its development, and to the dynamic equilibrium of the economy with a stable development path.

Synergetic Effect in economic processes, as it is set out in the monograph of A.A. Myasnikova "Synergetic Effects in the Modern Economy: An Introduction to the Problematic", is rather close to the views of the author of the article.
