About

T. Miyake is a scholar whose work centers on technology forecasting and industrial competitiveness, with a particular focus on Japan’s technological evolution. His research explores how nations and firms build and sustain competitive advantage through strategic innovation, globalization, and alliances. Miyake’s most cited paper, “Technology forecasting in Japan” (1993), has garnered 18 citations and provides a foundational analysis of how Japan has anticipated and shaped technological trajectories. Another notable contribution, “Creating and sustaining competitiveness: an analysis of the Japanese robotics industry” (1994), traces the remarkable journey of Japanese firms from initially acquiring robotics technology from U.S. companies to dynamically developing their own global leadership through innovation and strategic partnerships. This work highlights Miyake’s interest in the interplay between technology transfer, organizational learning, and long-term industrial strategy. Though his citation counts are modest, his insights into the mechanisms of competitiveness and technology forecasting offer valuable lessons for students and researchers studying innovation systems, industrial policy, and the dynamics of technological catch-up.
