We must embrace adaptation in accordance with the demands of the present era. Therefore, any change in a subject’s curriculum is a natural progression of development. Knowledge evolves as subjects are taught and learned in diverse ways over time. In light of the adoption of a new syllabus by Kavayitri Bahinabai Chaudhari North Maharashtra University for Second year Master of Commerce students, aligned with the New Education Policy 2020, it is our responsibility to provide them with updated learning materials.
We take great pleasure in introducing the textbook “Supply Chain Management”, designed for M.Com students. This book, structured in a self-learning format, adheres to a student- friendly approach. It includes exam questions from NMU and other universities, facilitating comprehensive exam preparation.
