Abstract :
Summary form only given. TRIZ is a data-based creativity method. It is becoming known as a method for systematic innovation that creates useful, innovative concepts Applications to e-business situations demonstrate that TRIZ is a powerful tool for problem solving, technology forecasting, and business development for the merging knowledge era. The strength of TRIZ as a method for developing creative solutions to problems is the removal of contradictions, rather than the conventional approach of accepting compromises or making tradeoffs. Examples and case studies from e-business illustrate strategies emerging from the TRIZ methods of ideality, the use of resources, trends of evolution and TRIZ-derived inventive principles which may offer means of breaking out of the current loss-making paradigms
