I am Ameziane, This is my second year in the Business and Management program at the College Ahuntsic. This glossary is for French speakers, who are interested in the business world to learn and understand the words related in English. This glossary could help you understand some English words that you don't understand and you will have their translation in French. I used google and Wikipedia to find the words and the definition.
