When the first edition of the TESE book was published in 2018, global distribution presented us with unexpected challenges. However, you can now order it as a print-on-demand title via Amazon in various countries. The dimensions and layout of the second edition have changed slightly, but the print quality has remained the same. The print edition costs 39$, the ebook is available for 2.99$ or even for free with kindle unlimited.
The fundamental work “Trends of Engineering System Evolution (TESE) is supported by MATRIZ and MATRIZ Official and recognized as training material. The authors Alex Lyubomirskiy, Dr. Simon Litvin, Dr. Sergei Ikovenko, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian M. Thurnes and Dr. Robert Adunka have incorporated their research results and practical experience:
The first two chapters provide a basis for understanding the structures of the trends. Chapter 3 shows correlations between the performance of the most important value parameters of a technical system and the stages of the S-curve. The authors describe the stages of the S-curve in detail, identify their causes and indicators, and provide recommendations for system design at each stage of development. Chapter 4 describes the hierarchical structure of the TESE and explains the individual trends and sub-trends in detail. Many graphics and photos of examples from various industries and technical areas accompany the chapters and highlight the wide range of possible applications of the method.
