SPECIFICS OF PUBLIC SECTOR In public sector hierarchical cooperation is dominant. To be able to cooperate it is important to answer the following questions: Were the power and influence is allocated? How efficient implementation can be
assured?
What is the role of each partner? Do all partners have equal chance to be
involved?
