Business Management Glossary
Hello, my name is Raoul Guzman-Da Silva, I am 17 years old and I attend College Ahuntsic. Currently, I am in Tremplin DEC but next fall I will study Social Sciences. More precisely, business management. It will last for two years. My goal is to be accepted in HEC Montreal. I made this glossary for people to get to know me better.
