This text gives a comprehensive overview of how TRIZ has evolved over the years. The layout of the material is superb, allowing the concepts to build off each other and organizing the content into conceptually coherent sections. Savransky makes sure that the reader understands the underlying philosophy and theory of the methodology before introducing the heuristics and principles. ARIZ is presented as a capstone of all the previous material and ensures a cohesive synthesis of all of the other ideas presented in the book. He also provided a good amount of appendix material.

The book might be challenging for beginners in TRIZ; however, there are a lot more resources available now in English (such as on the Web) to provide examples and further background to round out any unclear areas. After all, Savransky does cover a lot of ground in this book! On that note, there are a few editing errors which might throw off someone trying to learn but these can be quickly sorted out through careful reading and logic when something seems unclear. Overall, an excellent and comprehensive resource.

I've read 7 books about TRIZ in English. This is the best one.

Easily the most advanced book on TRIZ yet published. This book will be difficult to read if you do not already know some TRIZ basics. But, if you are looking for more on TRIZ, this is difinitely the source. The book has original content not available in English anywhere else. Savransky is also willing to criticise Altshuller and point to improvements in the works for TRIZ. My only complaint is that the author prefers Substance-Field analysis rather than the more useful (in my opinion) Tool-Object-Product analysis.

The excellent book: the most comprehensive, detailed and advanced approach to TRIZ. Full of new brilliant ideas and well-organized known results with tremendous theoretical and know-how explanations this book becomes a TRIZ bible. May be difficult for novices in TRIZ but the only modern book that each TRIZnik must read.

Good addition to my TRIZ library. More detailed explanation of the theory than most. Fewer examples and illustrations than most.

Great book! Quite detailed in its technicalities, case studies, examples of TRIZ.Encompasses all things available.
Price-could have been a bit economical and hence the 4-star.

A great refrence book for triz users who want to complete their theoretical knowledge .Not suitable for beginners who want to gain quick results.

Sir, the book is great, but there exist few obvious printing errors and perhaps some more which need additional info clarification.
Do you have an addentum for this book to rectify the situation?
