Also pls consider the previous two articles that I had ordered with you with the codes 558154156 and 020852455 in order to take as reference in terms of context, language, style, and reference usage BUT the difference between the previous articles and this one is that they were comparison of three articles while this one is a “reflection paper” under the topic of “non-market strategies on diversification decisions”. PLEASE also consider for the prevous two articles the final versions, not the versions that you had delivered to me, which I myself worked on, extended and developed; these versions I will be sharing via e-mail to avoid any complication with the uploaded documents which are to be used as sources/references for this paper.
