Six alliances are examined as examples of "bottom up" approaches to economic development. Organizing locally for global competition is bringing on more decentralized, flexible, yet comprehensive public management approaches, emphasizing demand programming, self-management, incentives and information, leverage and engagement, and de-differentiated structuring. Public managers must increasingly deal with challenges like those related to the emergence of alliances. - Reproduced Public administration International Journal of Public Administration 38927 38927 38927 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 21, Issue no: 11 AR39288 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
