Using an organizational perspective, this study employs case studies to explore mine management and community development. The discussion examines how managers of mining companies changed the towns they directly or indirectly established to satisfy the labor needs for their growing mining enterprises. The communities of Superior and Jerome are the focus of this research. This dissertation explores the influence of a single industry on the management of employees, the social mobility of its workers, and the use of a company-run social club to develop community in these two mining towns. Each case provides a portal or focused view on how mining companies influenced their communities--communities that expanded and declined in the cloud of smelter residue that covered most of those towns between strikes and deportations. These towns no longer serve as prominent copper producing communities. |
