Abstract

The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is a toolkit of methods to support systematic creativity. The latter has been the focus of many studies since late 90s, when innovations became a recognized resource for wealth in modern world. The review is based on SCOPUS papers containing “TRIZ” in abstract, title or among keywords. About 1200 retrieved publications where briefly analyzed by co-appearance of other popular and more known tools or terms. Then the detail analysis of 100 most cited papers takes place. The review reveals the most popular TRIZ application fields (product design, information processing), the most popular TRIZ instruments (contradiction analysis) and the most typical way it is used in the reviewed studies (integration to other tools or application/adaptation for a specific field).
