Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa,  Mar. 30, 2014)

This paper was presented last October at the ETRIA TRIZ Future Conference (TFC 2013).  I have posted my Personal Report of it last November .  With the hope of Japanese translation and posting of some selected papers of the Conference, I asked and obtained permissions from several authors last December.  Delaying by 5 months due to my being busy, I am going to start such posting here.  The fisrt one is Professor KyeongWon Lee's paper on Korean TRIZ Activities.  I deeply thank Professor Lee and ETRIA (European TRIZ Association) for their permissions of my posting.  (Note that all the TFC presentations are posted in the ETRIA site but open only for its members.)  [Note (TN, Apr. 9, 2014):  According to ETRIA's request, I have temporarily closed the links to the original English paper and English slides, until they are posted openly by a publisher's site.  My introduction in this English page and the Japanese translation version remain being posted.  I am going to post several other TFC papers in a similar way.] 

In the present paper Professor Lee reports about the TRIZ propagation in Korea and suggests effective strategies for introducing and propegating TRIZ into industries.  Korea is the country most successful in introducing, propagating and applying TRIZ in industries, among the countries in the world including former USSR region. History of TRIZ propagation in Korea is summarized in one of his slides as shown below:

In the initial stage of introducing TRIZ (ca. 1996 - 2005) in Korea, TRIZ was not accepted widely because of various barriers and bad experiences, he sasys. [In such a stage, TRIZ activities in Japan were more active in many aspects, I suppose.]  The situation was changed by the success of practical industrial examples developed in Samsung by Russian TRIZ experts employed at TRIZ promotion department.  Executives of Samsung recognized the success, and promoted to develop education and training programs and expand the application of TRIZ to real projects. Such TRIZ activities were expanded to other big industries in Korea, and were carried out with much enthusiasum as a big movement in Korean industries, he says.  [Around 2010, the propagtion of TRIZ in Korea seems to have grown more than in Japan and most in the world.]

The excellence of this paper is its description of 'Bad' (wrong or failure) experiences in the early stage and their lessons, and then 'Good' experiences resulting real successes.  On the basis of such experiences the author suggests 'Effective strategies' for introducing and propagating TRIZ in industries.  In the Japanese page, I posted the Japanese translation of the paper (but not slides).  In this English page, PDF files of the paper and the slides are posted. [These links are closed temporarily. (Apr. 9, 2014)]

Concerning to TRIZ activities in Korea, we have had various occasions of reading (or sometimes listening) their papers and presentations.  In the Editor's Note at the bottom of this page, I collected such papers or introductions to them as a bibliography.  To my surprise, there are about 40 papers (including original papers/presentations and my own introductions to them in my Personal Reports of conferences).  While reading/listening the good activities in the neighboring country from time to time, we in Japan have been leaped over in the propagation of TRIZ in industries/universities, I understand with some regret.  TRIZ leaders (including myself) and users are advised to read these papers carefully.

Abstract:

TRIZ has been known to the western world from Russia over 15 years ago. It has been introduced and used at many companies. But only a few companies have used it continuously. Many companies and Universities do not know TRIZ yet and even if they know it, they do not use actively. Why has the situation happened? In the meantime, there has been a lot of trial and error. Maybe there is an effective strategic way to introduce and propagate TRIZ into big or small companies better. Korea is the most active country on TRIZ application at big companies such as specially, Samsung, SK Hynix semiconductor and POSCO etc. The Korean companies had much bad experience at initial stage, but they have overcome the difficulties and currently under being popularized to general persons though there are still many hurdles to be leaped. In this paper, the author summarizes the effective strategy to introduce and propagate TRIZ education and consulting into big and small companies based on the bad and good experiences in Korea.

Keywords: TRIZ, Propagation Strategy, How to introduce into company, Korea
