The theory of inventive problems solving returns to the practice of personnel training

Abstract

The theory of inventive problems solving (TRIZ, teoriya resheniya izobretatelskih zadach), which was created in the USSR by the engineer-patented scientist G. S. Altshuller, almost lost its fame in the 1990s. Now we are seeing the reverse process — TRIZ is gaining popularity in industry and science. Today, the «Soviet theory of inventioning» is being studied at universities of different countries, and it is gradually returning to domestic scientific and educational activities.
