Over 50 "design aphorisms" have been added. These aphorisms are simple
statements that are important to design and are easy to remember.
Chapter 7 on concept generation has been reorganized for easier reading
and introductions to TRIZ and axiomatic design have been added.
Chapter 8 on concept evaluation has added material on team decision making
with uncertain and evolving information.
Chapter 11 on product evaluation for performance has been totally restructured
to emphasize the need for considering variation in all evaluation considerations.
The example that flows through Chapters 4-11 has been changed to one that
comes from the author's design experience.
An appendix has been added highlighting TRIZ's 40 inventive principles.
These are invaluable when generating ideas.
