21 Social Science profile management and administration. terms
Hello, my name is Louis-Philippe Bélisle. I live in Saint-Eustache. I have been studying Social Science profile management and administration for one year a half at Lionel-Groulx College. My field of study is Marketing, a field of study where we learn how to create, develop and sale a product. The glossary that I have made could be useful for the students who are studying in marketing and also for those who want to study in this field of study. Every word of this glossary is related to the basic notion of marketing and each of them are very used in this field of study. In fact, these words have been specially chosen because they are not always easy to understand to people who never study in this field. By looking at these words, you would learn the meaning of each word, you will learn a lot about the terms that are used and finally, you will learn about this field of study.
