“…When some aspects of the TRIZ methodology were proven successful in challenging the human psychological inertia that aims to break the conventional mindset, the emergence of TRIZ has indeed stimulated a creative way of thinking in developing various new solutions. Although TRIZ was initially proposed for engineers and scientists as a systematic creativity and innovations methodology, it has been recently applied to a wide range of fields, from engineering to biomedicine, agriculture, social relations, business, and management, among others (Mann, 2000;Retseptor, 2003;Lau, 2004).…”

Recently, TRIZ, a Russian acronym that means 'Theory of Inventive Problem Solving', developed by Genrich Altshuller, has been recognized as a widely popular subject concerning innovation in the technological field. In this study, we attempt to extend the TRIZ methodology to a broader application in a non-technological area. A systematic framework based on the TRIZ methodology is proposed, and a case study involving an e-commerce company is used to illustrate the applicability of the framework in terms of service quality improvement. Aside from this, in order to improve the effectiveness of the conventional TRIZ problem-solving process for its practitioners, a parameter corresponding table is developed to provide an efficient way of applying the TRIZ contradiction matrix to resolve service problems. Through the practical result of our case study, the valuable contribution of the TRIZ methodology in the service industry is further obtained.

“…TRIZ is a theory used for resolving technical problems (especially those involved in inventive problems) [2,10]. In 1946, Genrich Altshuller extensively selected 40,000 patents showing inventiveness after analyzing over 200,000 patents to explore the concepts of problemsolving and application and identify the fundamental principles and models of these patents.…”

Numerous technological problems that arise during the development of innovative products must be overcome in a short period of time. The lack of methods of systematically inventive problem-solving may lead to repeated failures during innovation processes. Therefore, this study combined the workout and the Theory of Inventive Problem-Solving (TRIZ) approaches to resolve technological inventive problems encountered during the development of a novel bamboo-skin film applicable to in-mold injection molding. The goal of this study was to resolve three technological innovation problems using the following methods: (a) the restrictive brainstorming approach and a 39 × 39 contradiction matrix to resolve problems concerning the poor adhesion between bamboo-skin films and plastics; (b) the restrictive brainstorming approach and the 40 principles of invention (also referred to as 40 principles of TRIZ or 40 innovative principles) to overcome the problem regarding bamboo-skin breakage; and (c) the non-restrictive brainstorming approach to reduce the time required for post-processing. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is able to solve the innovative problems. The exploited approach concerning bamboo is a valuable outcome and reference for further advanced implementations in electrical industry and others.

“…According to the Industrial Technology Research Institute published in the fifth issue of Human Capital Magazine (2006), TRIZ theory began to be developed in 1946 based on the study of numbers of patents, which has been extended from 100,000 to 1,000,000 in more than half a century. There are many applications in the aerospace, automotive, semiconductor, electronics, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, as well as in other areas like business, management, non-science and technology [7,8]. There are many different applications for TRIZ theory as an analytical tool for scientific and technological innovation.…”

Around 20% of the population worldwide speaks Mandarin as the language of daily communication. For this reason, Mandarin learning has recently been getting more and more popular around the world. More and more people are coming to Taiwan and China from abroad to learn Mandarin at a wide variety of language learning centers. An effective and convenient mobile Mandarin learning system will people to learn Mandarin anytime and anywhere. The TRIZ theory was developed based on innovation theory by the Russian scholar, Genrich Altshuller, in 1946. The important features are the contradiction matrix and 40 principles. There are 39 corresponding parameters for finding out the suggestion on how to solve problems based on the principles. In the study, TRIZ theory is applied to discuss problems for constructing a mobile learning system. There is a shortage of information about the development of the mobile learning system by the application of TRIZ theory. TRIZ theory is found to provide systematic and effective analysis for solving problems.
