Learning outcomes
The overall objective is to provide students with an overview of the specificity of firm types prevailing in different wine business segments. Segments follow the added value pathway, from grape production at the vineyard level, to marketing and delivery of the final product to consumers and resellers, divided by market segment values across markets intermediaries and various form of sales (from on-site vineyard sale to internet catalogue). The students should be able to understand the specificity of firm structure across segments, geographical districts and producing countries, inclusive of the institutional motivations as to why firms types have developed their specificity and what forces have contributed to the shaping of such specificity. Particular emphasis is placed on governance and management structure, cooperative firms, family holdings, international operators and multinational in the alcohol sector. Several case studies will be studied to exemplify the salient traits of different wine market segments and their realities. Students will actively participate in the development of the topics covered with group work, presentations on specific themes and reports.
