Florida International University is currently conducting an online survey among city managers, budget/finance directors and economic development directors in cities with population sizes 15,000-250,000.  The survey seeks to obtain information on administrators' perceptions and experiences of possible links between globalization and urban service delivery in these municipalities.  Some of you may have already seen an invitation to participate in this survey come to your e-mail in-boxes.  Please do not complete it using this link if you have already done so via e-mail.

For the purpose of this study, globalization is defined as "a multifaceted process that alters modes and types of urban service delivery due to transnational demographic shifts, rapidly changing technologies, and municipalities' heightened involvement in the global economy."  Please use this definition in completing the survey. 

It should take up no more than 10-15 minutes of your time.  The link to the survey is: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Om7Y24wNcoJDtVoikTX59Q_3d_3d.

If you have any questions, please send them to Nadine Wedderburn at nwedd001@fiu.edu.

Thank you very much for your participation!
