Final comments
During these months in Montréal I have realized how an International environment can be the ideal atmosphere for both a personal and academic growth. Working with people coming from different countries and cultures is representing a great opportunity to improve my team working's skills, to learn new insight of business, new way to face marketing problems. The possibility to develop projects with students of heterogeneous background allows me to understand how much it is important the interpersonal and intercultural comparison in a global economy.
