WINE 7007 - Wine Business Study Tour

North Terrace Campus - Trimester 3 - 2019

Region of origin is an increasingly important differentiator for 最新糖心Vlogn wine. However there is considerable divergence between the contribution of individual wine regions to the market performance of wine businesses. The objective of the wine business study tour is to analyse the wine business differences between wine regions; to evaluate the factors which determine those differences; and to specify strategy recommendations that could improve the regions' contribution to the performance of wine businesses located in those regions. This course entails region visits supplemented by desk research and workshops to produce individual project reports. Initial research, visits and workshops will be undertaken as group exercises, mentored with wine industry input. The outcome will be individual student reports making strategy recommendations for the specified wine regions. The Wine Business Study Tour will compare 最新糖心Vlogn wine regions to evaluate their performance as wine business places of origin. Factors to be assessed include: Wine offer, Regional wine brand, Wine visitor destination, Regional wine organisations, Region wine marketing strategy and Export market performance. This course will be delivered as per the timetable; involves an additional cost contribution by students to cover the cost of transport, accommodation, meals and tutored wine tastings for the region visits; and is not available to external students.

    Online Learning
    This course is not available to external students since the region field trips are mandatory and are required in order to meet the visit evaluation and project report assessment requirements.
    Desk research and project initiation briefings will be recorded for online access.
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes

    The course is taught through workshops and field visits.
    The workshops and field visits will be in small group learning mode with input from wine industry personnel and with mentoring from the lecturer.
    The focus of the learning will be analysis and problem solving by applying wine business princlples and frameworks to real world wine business performance in a regional context.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    The course will commence with a compulsory full day session at which the relevant theoretical concepts, analytical frameworks and reference sources will be outlined. Students will also be allocated to groups; the research tasks specified; and the assessable requirements identified. The following week a second full day workshop is scheduled to assist the groups in their desk research tasks. 

    Students collaborating in their groups will be required to undertake substantial desk research on defined wine region topics over the 5 weeks prior to the field study region visits.

    The field study visits will take place over several full days as per timetable.

    The field study will entail visits to wineries, meetings with wine producers and with representatives from the regional organisations.

    Each student will be required to submit, within a week of the visit, an assessable visit evaluation based on a pro forma report structure. 

    Follow up  full day workshop will provide each group with the opportunity to be mentored by the lecturer in preparation for their assessable wine region project report. The reports are to be prepared and submitted on an individual basis for assessment.

    In addition to the days of scheduled contact, students are required to undertake sufficient research, group and individual study hours, and assessment preparation to make up the balance of the 156 hour minimum workload for this course.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment Task Task Type Detail Weighting Learning Outcome
    Group assessment Collaborative Field trips
    Workshop group tasks
    20% 1,3,5
    Regions visit evaluation Individual 1500 words 30% 2,5
    Wine regions project report Individual 2500 words excluding data appendices 50% 4,5,6
    Total 100%
    Assessment Detail
    Group assessment will be marked according to the performance of the group on the designated group research tasks following from the  workshop sessions. All individuals in the group are expected to contribute to group performance and an individual may be penalised  in instances where the group collectively identifies a lack of contribution from an individual member of the group. 

    The Regions Visit Evaluation will require students to individually record their visit observations and appraisal of specific aspects of the visit in a structured pro forma document. Marks will be awarded according to the extent of wine business insights (learning) which is demonstrated in the responses. Responses that only reproduce factual information will not be sufficient to achieve a pass result.

    Individual assignment

    Weight 30%

    The Wine Regions project report

    Students are required to analyse the two wine regions and recommend regional marketing strategies for each of the regions.
    Specifically the assignment is:
    Evaluate the differences between the two nominated regions’ wine business performance attributable to:
    • the region wine brand
    • grape quality
    • wine tourism
    • export market sales
    • regional wine organisations
    and recommend marketing strategies that regional wine organisations for each of the regions could realistically implement to improve the region’s wine business performance.

    Individual assignment

    Weight: 50%

    Word limit: 2,500 words excluding data appendices

    A passing grade will require the report to explain the factors that could contribute to business performance differences between the regions and to articulate at least one marketing strategy that is appropriate for the objective of improving the performance of wine businesses located in one of the regions.
    Submission
    Assignments are to be submitted in Myuni.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support

  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
