Richard K. Miller & Associates (RKMA), founded in 1972, publishes handbooks focused on marketing and the consumer marketplace. With over 30,000 copies in print, RKMA ranks as one of the country's largest market research publishers.
RKMA established itself as a leading market analyst and futurist firm in the early 1980s with its research on advanced computing. The forecasts of Richard Miller, founder and president of the firm, on the commercialization of computer graphics, real-time supply chain management, industrial automation, and other emerging technologies were amazingly accurate. RKMA first wrote about the Internet (then called Arpanet) in 1984.
Richard, who grew up working in his family's retail business, has held a lifelong interest in consumer markets.
In the 1990s, RKMA transitioned from engineering and technology to publishing market research on the consumer marketplace.
