Summary

The book highlights the systems process of problem-solving. All its stages have been subjected to research — from fixation of a problematic situation up to obtaining a final solution. The focus is on the formation of alternatives — the central issue of this process. The approach presented in the book provides clearly defined structure of the problem and a particular variant of its systematic review: a systems analysis of the problematic situation and ...(More)the underlying object; systems representation of the subject working with this situation; systems description of the subject-object interaction. Much of the presented information is based on the author’s development. In particular, the following features are proposed: a general scheme for identifying the problem and its solutions; a way to expand the list of alternative solutions based on working with meanings; recommendations for problem-solving aimed to transform the classical linear algorithm into a variative one, and more.

The book is intended for a wide readership. It will be useful for professionals involved in problem-solving, for students dealing with educational problems and preparing for future professional activities, as well as for anyone who is aware of the problems and is ready to make their lives and activities more effective through problem-solving.

photoShimukovich Petr Nikolaevich
Doctor of Technical Science, the inventor. Over 30 years of his life were devoted to research, teaching and practical application of methods of engineering creativity, mainly the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ). Based on many years of experience in teaching and researching in higher education, consulting and training the specialists of modern market companies, as well as design, technical and administrative work in companies of various industries, he formed his own original position on the theory and the practice of creative problem-solving. The author of books on this topic issued by the URSS publishing group: “Informational Method of Creativity: Information, Language, Semiotics, TRIZ in the Service of Innovations”; “TRIZ-contradictions in Innovative Solutions: the PN-method”; “Solutions Do Exist for Every Problem! A Systematic Presentation of TRIZ-ideas”; “The Motivation for Creativity: The Origins of Successful Innovations”; “TRIZ-ideas in the Systems Presentation. Practice”.
