Business glossary

20 terms

My glossary is about business jobs or everything you want to learn about economies. I choose all words that I find important and the most useful for this type of job. I searched on Google for the definitions and on documents that give business terms. In my glossary, you will understand more about how the companies work and finances. I think this will be useful for someone who wants to know more about economies or business jobs and just wants to develop their vocabulary. In my project of glossary, I just explain the definition; it's not easy to understand just with this, so if you want to understand more, I think it will be a good idea for you to do your research on how this works.
