Exactly! Synergy is the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. If the partnership isn't achieving that, then it's not really synergy, is it? D) is the only logical answer here.

Agreed. I think the exam writers are trying to trick us with those other options. Synergy is all about leveraging each other's strengths to achieve more. That's got to be the path to greater creativity and innovation.

Come on, guys. Increased costs? Miscommunications? What kind of synergy leads to that? If anything, a good partnership should reduce costs and improve communication. D) Greater creativity is definitely the way to go.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I could see an argument for B) Increased costs. If the partnership isn't well-managed, the added coordination and resources required could lead to higher expenses. But I still think D) Greater creativity is the best answer here.

I agree with Alfred. Synergy is all about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. By collaborating and combining their strengths, partners can achieve more than they could alone. I don't think the other options make much sense in the context of synergy.

I think this question is trying to test our understanding of the concept of synergy. I would say the correct answer is D) Greater creativity. When partners work together, their combined efforts can lead to new and innovative ideas that they couldn't have come up with individually.
