Abstract:
The governance of Local Productive Arrangements (LPA’s) represents an important path of management considering the complexity of interfaces with different agents of local and regional development involving institutions, enterprises and associations in response to regional strategies focusing on productive agglomerations. This paper results from a governance configuration analysis of the Local Productive Arrangement of milk from Santana do Livramento (RS). It is a descriptive-exploratory case study, with qualitative approach. Therefore, it was possible to verify that milk LPA from Santana do Livramento presents, predominantly, multilateral horizontal or public-private governance, although multiple ways configure it as hybrid governance based on collaboration, confidence and investment in specific assets, minimizing uncertainties, and indicating the potential and perspective of a sustainable development.
