5.0 out of 5 stars Concise packaging of an enormous knowledge base
Strongly recommend that everyone pursuing breakthroughs in thinking begin with a solid foundation of knowledge that can be gained from this book. Found the expression of the 40 principles to be the most easily understood yet of all the books on TRIZ.

2.0 out of 5 stars Oversimplification of TRIZ
I selected this book because the TOC indicated that two pages were deveoted to each of the 40 priciples. This is because 2-3 diagrams take up one page and the second page is blank. The diagrams were not very effective at conveying the underlying priciple and most diagrams were a mediocre example of the application of the principle.

There is little information in this...

2.0 out of 5 stars Oversimplification of TRIZ, March 10, 2003

Patrick McDermott (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 40 Principles: TRIZ Keys to Technical Innovation (Triztools, V. 1) (Paperback)
I selected this book because the TOC indicated that two pages were deveoted to each of the 40 priciples. This is because 2-3 diagrams take up one page and the second page is blank. The diagrams were not very effective at conveying the underlying priciple and most diagrams were a mediocre example of the application of the principle.

There is little information in this text on how to identify and develop the inherent contradiction that one is trying to solve. However, the contradiction matrix at the end is relatively easy to read when determining which priciples to apply to a problem.

I had hoped to buy a single book on TRIZ to get a better understanding of the theory and its application. This book was not sufficient for that purpose.
