corporate synergy
Combined company advantage
Corporate synergy is the supposed advantage gained when companies merge or divisions collaborate—the idea that combined operations will be worth more than their separate parts.
The term is common in business contexts but often criticized as jargon that oversells mergers or justifies layoffs: The CEO promised corporate synergy, but mostly they just cut staff.
