Articulación entre tecnología y producción: Los contratistas de labores en la región pampeana

In the setting of the deep transformations that took place during the second half of the XX century in the Argentine Pampas, the contractor of agricultural labors reached a new dimension because of his ability to respond agilely and flexibly to technical and organizational changes. This social subject holds a main position in the productive scene articulating the supply and demand of technology, and becoming a key element for the increase of productive efficiency. The objective of the paper is to advance in the referred analysis to the characterization of the contractor regarding his or her socioeconomic, technological, and productive importance. A methodological strategy based on the study of primary information was used through surveys done among contractors who are producers as well. The instrument mentioned above was designed to examine a group of variables that allowed us to characterize and differentiate two types of contractors according to their economic activity: the ones who are mainly contractors and others whose principal activity is the agriculture production. The main results of this analysis show the heterogeneity of these social subjects and the degree of complexity reached.
