Welcome to the IndustryWeek Weekly Review. This week’s edition of our leading content from the past seven days has a slightly different flavor than usual because we did not publish last Friday. As a result, in this issue we showcase top content from the past two weeks rather than solely the past seven days. Moreover, we have boosted our list of highlights to a baker’s dozen rather than the traditional 10. Without further ado, top content from the past two weeks includes:
