Abstract
The concept of synergy is described in many different branches of science. It does not necessarily mean increasing effects as a result of joint actions. It involves process of self-organization in terms of limited resources. Its occurrence is determined by the boundaries of chaos, and innovative actions allow to overcome barriers. Small businesses fall under the general laws of physics and thermodynamics. The author in the experiment puts the hypothesis, that one of the limited resources protected by entrepreneurs is the lifesource energy.
