Better technology forecasting using systematic innovation methods

An evolved version of the Soviet-originated Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, TRIZ, contains a series of generically predictable technology and business evolution trends uncovered from the systematic analysis of over 2 million patents, academic journals and business texts. The current state of the art—recorded for the first time together in this paper—now bring the total number of generic technical trends to over 30, and the number of business trends to over 20. The paper describes some of the newly discovered trends, and their incorporation into a design method that allows individuals and businesses to first establish the relative maturity of their current systems, and then, more importantly, to identify areas where ‘evolutionary potential’ exists. The paper introduces this concept of evolutionary potential—defined as the difference between the relative maturity of the current system, and the point where it has reached the limits of each of the evolution trends—through a number of case study examples focused on the design and evolution of complex systems.

Domain-independent approach to risk reduction

Abstract

The popular domain-specific approach to risk reduction created the illusion that efficient risk reduction can be delivered successfully solely by using methods offered by the specific domain. As a result, many industries have been deprived of efficient risk reducing strategy and solutions. This paper argues that risk reduction is underlined by domain-independent methods and principles which, combined with knowledge from the specific domain, help to generate effective risk reduction solutions. In this respect, the paper introduces a powerful method for reducing the likelihood of computational errors based on combining the domain-independent method of segmentation and local knowledge of the chain rule for differentiation. The paper also demonstrates that lack of knowledge of domain-independent principles for risk reduction misses opportunities to reduce the risk of failure even in a mature field like stress analysis. The domain-independent methods for risk reduction do not rely on reliability data or knowledge of physical mechanisms underlying possible failure modes and are particularly well suited for developing new designs, with unknown failure mechanisms and failure history. In many cases, the reliability improvement and risk reduction by using the domain-independent methods reduces risk at no extra cost or at a relatively small cost. The presented domain-independent methods work across unrelated domains and this is demonstrated by the supplied examples which range from various areas of engineering and technology, computer science, project management, health risk management, business and mathematics. The domain-independent risk reduction methods presented in this paper promote building products and systems characterised by high-reliability and resilience.     

基于U-TRIZ的SAFC分析模型

汲取经典TRIZ以及现代TRIZ各分支理论的精华,构建了物质-属性-功能-因果(SAFC)分析模型,明确了统一TRIZ(U-TRIZ)的解题流程,统一并准确定义了关键术语,并结合3个实例介绍了SAFC分析模型的应用与转换步骤。结果表明:SAFC分析模型便于工程师们准确找到技术系统中产生有害功能的物质或组件的属性,并借助于"效应知识库"对那些不需要的属性实施变、增、稳、减、测的有效操作,极大地提高了TRIZ的学习和使用效率。

基于TRIZ理论对企业核心竞争力内在形成机理的研究

对核心竞争力内在形成机理的把握影响着核心竞争力管理实践的可操作性。企业核心竞争力由能力元和能力架构组成。在不同的系统环境中,能力元在能力框架的作用下按照路径依赖得到不断的结合与演变,最终演变为企业的核心竞争力。把握核心竞争力的内在形成机理有助于企业提高核心竞争力的管理水平。     

TRIZ应用中协同创新意识对员工创新能力的影响

在构建面向TRIZ的协同创新体系过程中,离不开企业、政府、高校、科研院所、第三方服务机构等主体之间的协同配合。在协同创新过程中,企业协同创新意识、组织协调能力、员工创新能力以及主体之间的兼容性发挥着重要作用。以TRIZ应用中的协同创新意识为自变量,以员工创新能力提升为因变量,以TRIZ应用中的组织协调能力为中介变量,以主体兼容性为调节变量,通过探索性和验证性因子分析及中介效应、调节效应的回归分析,得出以下研究结论：TRIZ应用中的协同创新意识对于员工创新能力提升具有正向影响;TRIZ应用中的组织协调能力对于协同创新意识正向影响员工创新能力有部分中介作用;TRIZ应用中的主体兼容性对于协同创新意识与员工创新能力之间关系的调节作用不显著。     

基于冲突化解的管理创新原理

将解决工程技术领域创新问题的TRIZ理论应用于管理创新是可行的,但需要依据管理对象系统所具有的复杂性、模糊性和环境适应性特征进行调整。针对它的复杂性,需要对管理冲突作分类研究;针对它的模糊性,需要构建解的理想化水平的模糊判定方法;针对它的环境适应性,需要将环境变量引入管理创新方法中。借鉴TRIZ理论,从化解管理冲突的角度出发,提出了管理创新所依据两个基本原理:一是化解冲突是管理创新的动力;二是管理创新是一个从局部优化到系统优化的过程,管理创新多从局部开始和交替发生。
