New technologies are innovations, such as the Internet, wireless communications and information management. These technologies have a profound impact on public administration. Thomas Friedman proclaims that the world is flat (Feiock, Moon, & Park, 2008). Location ceases to be one of the factors that a business considers when it is assessing its competitive advantage in the current information age. This has implications on the public administrators in the United States. They craft, implement and evaluate economic development strategies or theories. The American communities will find it challenging to maintain an edge through innovation. Richard Florida argues that the world is spiky. Those places that have higher concentrations of the creative working class are undergoing high levels of economic activities (Feiock, Moon, & Park, 2008). Globalization has offered opportunities for corporations and institutions. It has also created opportunities for the political elites who own or run these corporations. Globalization has provided connectedness, communications and new forms of integration by means of the Internet, e-governance and administration of organizations worldwide. The twenty first century is characterized by rapid change, globalization, hyper-competition and hyper-uncertainty (Farazmand, 2009). The public administrators can no longer rely on the success of the traditional systems of governance in this chaotic environment. There are threats of growing poverty, insecurity, terrorism, conflict, war and unemployment. All of these have increased under the emerging new world order, therefore, there should be more global integration. Globalization of production brings challenges to public administration. The government and especially the public administrators, are finding themselves challenged by globalization in the modern world. The globalization of production changes the role of the government. To achieve competitive success, there should be strong relationships and linkages across borders and the local settings empowered with strong capabilities (Farazmand, 2009). Such actions will cause great restrictions on the structure and linkages of local and regional economies, including their wealth generating potential and performance. Roberts (2011) uses smokestacks and silos asmetaphors to portray the inability to share information and integrate system activity, focusing our attention on the lack of coordination from the part of the government. Coordination may be defined as the synchronizing of the system elements to forge a coherent and integrated whole. E-government appears when the government uses new technology, such as the Internet, to deliver information and services to the public. Citizens can access information at their own convenience. Citizens do not have to wait for a government office to open so that they can get information. These digital models of government are able to change service delivery and the public’s perception. The continual growth and implementation of e-government and especially e-democracy has proven to be instrumental in governance in the current age. The public are able to access more information on political processes and any new developments (Lee, Chang &Berry, 2011). Major Themes Feiock, Moon, & Park (2008) highlight the fact that Thomas Friedman considers technology, like Internet and wireless communication, as the one
