I haven't posted a number grade yet because I would like you to revise this paper, with these two changes:
1. Concentrate more on the articles the class collected and less on the materials I posted. I appreciate your looking at "my" materials, but the assignment is to review the articles collected by the class last week.
2. Shorten this paper--cut it down to about 4 pages or even less--and organize it more tightly around a few key ideas that you clearly identify--perhaps even a single strong thesis statement at the beginning of the paper. The thesis is not required, but often it gives structure and vitality to the paper. An alternative is to point to a series of major conclusions from the articles as a set, and for each conclusion, mention the articles and the research that supports.Bulletin of Geography.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/bog-2017-0031 Abstract. As a result of their rapid economic growth, several powerful corporate giants have emerged in developing countries, especially in China, operating not only in the traditional manufacturing sector, but also in high-tech industries and finance. Major cities in developing countries have gradually become important command and control centres of the global economy, and have also become powerful enough to be in the same tier as major cities of developed countries around the world. In this paper, I examine the position of cities as command and control centres on the basis of the power of their headquartered corporations. The result shows that until 2012, New York, London, Tokyo, and Paris; i.e. the global cities, were the leading command and control centres. However, the gap between these global cities and Beijing gradually closed, and by 2015, the Chinese capital outranked all the global cities. The outstanding performance of Beijing-based corporations that operate in financial, energy, and construction services sectors is the driving force behind Beijing’s increasing global power. In addition, the leading position of the global cities as command and control centres has been threatened by the San Francisco-San Jose metropolitan region, a newly emerging economic hub in the United States.
