2 May 1995 Businessworld Link Behind New Lincoln Degree

A partnership agreement between Lincoln University and the Canterbury Manufacturers' Association has led to a new degree specialisation – a Bachelor of Commerce in Manufacturing and Technology Management.

The degree is aimed at enhancing management training within the manufacturing sector and an agreement setting it up has been signed between Professor Tony Zwart, representing Lincoln University, and Ted Mace, President of the Canterbury Manufacturers’ Association.

Professor Zwart, who holds the University’s Chair in Marketing, said Lincoln was already involved in business areas associated with the agricultural, horticultural and forestry sectors as well as transport, tourism, hotel and institutional management and property management. It was now widening the scope of its teaching so that students could acquire specialist knowledge of manufacturing processes and technologies.
