My Business Glossary

8 Business Management terms

Hi, my name is Elie Saouma. I live in Laval. I have been studying for 1 year at Montmorency College. My field of study is business management. This program is about representing a real business at a trade fair, dealing with virtual companies, participating in business management activities, selling products and services through representation, and so on. This glossary could help students studying in this program, or even students studying in finance in general. These words could learn them a lot about business management, because these terms are often used in this field of study.
