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  aPublic administration  aInternational Journal of Public Administration  a38927  c38927d38927  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 21, Issue no: 11pAR39288r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
