Answer the following questions:

As a starting point for your analysis, you may first want to view the presentation, Globalization and the Greater Jacksonville Economy, which your instructor prepared for a symposium at another university in 2012. Do not use this presentation as a citation source for your submission. Although the presentation is somewhat dated, much of the information is still valid and can help lead you to more current sources.

The article review should contain a minimum of two citations to at least two distinct authoritative references used. (Wikipedia is NOT an authoritative source!) You must provide a reference list at the end of the article review in addition to including in-text citations in the body of the article review to identify where resources are used. The article review and further analysis should contain a minimum of 500 words
