Title: Technological Dynamics in South African Mining and the Development of Racial Occupational Mobility Restrictions.
Creator: Pogue, T. E.
Subject: Technological change
Subject: Research collaboration
Date: 2008-08-29
Publisher: Tshwane University of Technology
Description: The paper illustrates the role of political and social dynamics upon technological change. Examining dynamics transforming excavation practices on South Africa’s gold mines, it describes how a technology that opened up a range of social and economic opportunities became a constraint on those opportunities. This technology’s development and diffusion thereby established a critical precedent in the spread of racial occupational mobility restrictions. Collaborative innovation is also a dominant feature in the analysis, highlighting both its historical importance in South Africa as well as the need for caution in its contemporary promotion.
