Lincoln University’s Bachelor of Commerce (.) degree has a specific focus on value chains. Value chains connect the world, and so do our graduates. Be it in supply chain management, marketing, food and resource economics, or accounting and finance, our graduates are bringing the world to New Zealand and New Zealand to the world. When businesses link their strategies and operations with what is happening in the global economy and with their commercial partners, they are well positioned to capture competitive advantages. The Bachelor of Commerce in Supply Chain Management is a comprehensive undergraduate degree programme capable of producing work-ready graduates with a sound foundation in the core areas of procurement, operations, logistics and supply chain management. Modern supply chain management focuses on coordinating and controlling the entire value chain from the raw materials to the finished product, and also the post-life of the product in an environmentally sustainable way. Our graduates will have an understanding of the necessary components of a fully coordinated product/market system that is efficient, sustainable, provides optimal returns to the stakeholders and value to final consumers. Courses in the programme address key elements of managing and coordinating the whole supply chain including a comprehensive study of modern procurement principles and practices, inventory management, transportation and logistics, operational planning and control systems, quality systems, marketing and customer relationship management, and the re-cycling and disposal of materials and products. We also teach students how to optimise a supply chain system. This degree is unique in New Zealand as it is a commercially focused, full undergraduate-level degree covering the key discipline areas related to managing supply chains as a single system. Lincoln graduates with this major have little difficulty getting jobs and a number of well recognised companies recruit directly from this degree. This degree will be applicable in almost any industry.
