与其他国家一样，南非的文化和创意产业越来越被认为是创造财富的产业，只要有适当的投资，而不是主要的非市场补贴部门。然而，国家创新政策仍然主要侧重于STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）技能组合和相关产品市场。本文分析了开普敦集群中的CCI如何通过结合数字技术、创造性投入和劳动力多样性进行创新。根据在英国布莱顿进行的一项类似研究，发现了一批创新的CCI公司，它们在不同程度上“融合”，即在生产中结合数字技术和创意设计。融合型企业在业务流程、商品和服务方面的创新水平更高。融合的公司也更有可能雇用人口统计学上多样化的人，从南非的混合到英国的学科多样性研究增加了见解。虽然创意-数字融合型公司采用更大的多样性，但对南非游戏和动画公司的定性分析表明，在发展中国家提高多样性面临挑战。
The cultural and creative industries (CCIs) are increasingly being recognised in South Africa, as in other countries, as wealth-creating, given appropriate investment, rather than primarily a non-market subsidized sector. However, national innovation policy is still predominantly focused on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) skillsets and related product markets. This paper analyses how the CCIs in the Cape Town cluster innovate by combining digital technology, creative inputs, and workforce diversity. Based on a similar study conducted in Brighton, UK, a cluster of innovative CCI firms was identified that are to varying degrees “fused”, defined as combining digital technology and creative design in production. Fused firms have higher levels of innovation in business processes, goods and services. Fused firms were also more likely to employ demographically diverse people, adding insights from the South African mix to the UK studies on disciplinary diversity. While fused creative-digital firms employ greater diversity, a qualitative analysis of SA gaming and animation firms nevertheless demonstrates the challenges for improving diversity in a developing country context.
