Most companies have many subjects around their business, and wish fast and effective solutions with new information technologies. Around 2000, we found that similar solutions were used in robotics and business systems. We thought that it might be possible to change business strategy or to create innovative business models and products with mechanical problem solving way. We tried to use 40 Inventive Principles and a Contradiction matrix of 'invention methodology TRIZ'. At first, we defined essential subjects and contradictions on business, and made 'business idea database' using TRIZ. In the situation, we defined a 'business / products strategy classification' and an 'information technology classification' which represented current and future business and technologies. We translated mechanical concepts into business concepts. Next, we proposed a process of conceiving innovative business models and products, using `business idea database'. At the same time, we presented an example of application. At last, we evaluated this methodology, using real business models and innovative products. As a result, it was found that TRIZ could be effective for systematic business solutions development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
