WINE 7066 - Advanced Wine Marketing

North Terrace Campus - Trimester 1 - 2017

This course harnesses the most relevant theories and techniques from the marketing discipline to give students a powerful set of skills and knowledge for the practice of wine marketing. The use of consumer and market bhaviour theory, consumer insights research, branding and services techniques and business-to-business theory make this course an extremely valuable contribution to a study in wine business. Students will undertake weekly practical exercises involving measurement of brand perfomance, consumer data collection, strategic brand positioning, brand equity assessment, services design, marketing communication and relationship marketing. The major project involves the development of a new wine brand concept through rigorous costomer analysis and secondary data collection, incorporating all elements of the marketing mix.

    Course Timetable

    The full timetable of all activities for this course can be accessed from .

    This course involves a series of alternating short lectures and group work assignments to facilitate students developing a detailed and well-rounded concept for a brand in the context of their choice. The lectures are designed to equip students with structured knowledge and understanding of the decisions involved in detailing a brand concept. Numerous real-world examples - some of them not available to the general public - will be used to illustrate concepts, approaches, and challenges. The group works will build upon each of the preceding lectures to provide students with the experience of creating, managing, and controlling a brand in small group settings, and assist them to understand some of the important areas of wine brand management from a business, research and academic perspective. The outcomes will be individual brand concepts, research reports, and reflective journals. In crafting a brand concept students will also have the opportunity to explore their particular areas of interest as related to their professional background and expertise.

  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    The course requires students to engage in studentdriven research in a small team context working under the guidance of Prof Orth. To properly craft and refine their brand concept they must devise an appropriate research strategy to locate information from selfdetermined sources and, working together, rigorously evaluate the information using criteria based on experience, expertise and literature. They must identify specific knowledge gaps and determine and appropriate methodology for synthesising, organising and applying the knowledge to fill those gaps.

    The art and science of successful brand management requires adopting a highly structured approach that applies the insights obtained through the lectures to creatively solve a practical problem. In addition, students are required to persuasively communicate their brand concept to a range of audiences using discipline specific and appropriate language.

    Hence, this course aims to develop and enhance the skills needed to effectively create and manage a brand, work in a small team context, show leadership and cooperation to achieve the required outcome. This involves data collection, interviewing, and ultimately, report writing including strategic recommendations. Finally, the continuing development of good research, teamwork, interpersonal and communication skills is widely recognised as important for all graduates.

    On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
    1

    A comprehensive understanding of how to create a brand. Specifically:
    (1) to understand how to synchronize a brand with a product,
    (2) to recognize the range and options for brand communications,
    (3) to understand how to match a brand to target groups,
    (4) to recognize the potential of brand communication means, and
    (5) to understand strategic options for building brandconsumer relationships.

    2 The ability to work effectively as a team member, showing leadership and cooperation as required to enhance group outcomes
    3 The ability to design a simple experiment and conduct it to effectively collect relevant primary information
    4 A comprehensive understanding of and the ability to apply basic secondary data collection and evaluation
    5 The ability to communicate, clarify, and present to professional audiences
    6 The ability to produce a logical and coherent group Research Report that provides value to stakeholders

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    This course is delivered during 6 semi-intensive days of teaching over the trimester period. During these sessions (which of course will include lunch and short breaks) students will engage in lectures, tutorial discussions and applied problem solving via group works. The focus of the course will be an interactive brand concept development with Prof Orth and fellow group members. For students studying remotely, all lecture and tutorial sessions will be recorded. However, it is expected that group members will maintain close contact between intensive sessions in order to complete the required tasks and maximise learning outcomes.
    Workload

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

    This information is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements. The University expects full-time students to commit approximately 9 hours for a three-unit course of private study outside of your regular classes. Students in this course are expected to attend sessions in this intensive delivery mode course if at all possible. Students studying remotely must review session recordings and stay in touch with the lecturer and their group members as required to maintain contact and group cohesion.

    Specific Course Requirements
    The University’s policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following five principles: 1) assessment must encourage and reinforce learning; 2) assessment must measure achievement of the stated learning objectives; 3) assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance; 4) assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned; and 5) assessment must maintain academic standards (see: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/700/)
  • Assessment

    The University'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 Weighting Learning Outcome
    Peer Assessment 15%
    Individual Critique 35%
    Research Report 50%
    Total 100%
    Assessment Related Requirements
    Each assessment must be attempted, and an overall grade of at least 50% must be achieved to pass the course
    overall. Additionally, a poor peer review rating by fellow team members (lower than 5 out of 10 for all team related
    performance elements assessed) will result in a 5% reduction in a student’s overall grade.
    Assessment Detail
    1. Peer assessment (Individual Assessment) 15%
    Working in a group setting can, and usually is, challenging. This is true whether it is in a study or work context.
    However, the reality of life (especially our working life) is that we must just ‘get on with it’ and work productively with
    others to achieve common goals. Something that makes this easier is each person making a commitment to sharing
    work appropriately, allocate tasks according to strengths within the team and to making a strong effort to achieve
    success.
    There are 5 criteria that each of your team members will assess each other group in their team against on a scale of 1
    to 10, where 1 is poor performance and 10 is virtually ‘perfect’ performance, the criteria are explained below:
    Openness and flexibility
    Trust and cooperation
    Dutifulness
    Dependability
    Achievement of goals and tasks
    These elements will be explained in more detail in lectures and through provided readings, although students are
    encouraged to seek additional insights via personal investigations and discussions.
    Due Feb 27, 2016 and submitted individually

    2. Individual Critique (Strength and Weaknesses assessment) 35%
    This aspect of the overall assessment carries almost as much weight as the group report that you are also required to
    complete. A major focus of this course is to encourage individuals to reflect on the process of developing a brand
    concept (and the reporting on that concept) and also to apply critical thinking to this process as well as their individual
    team experiences. This critique summarizes what a student believes are strengths and weaknesses of the brand
    concept developed by the group.
    Due March 31 2016

    3. Research report (Group Assessment) 50%
    Each group will be developing a concept for a brand of their choice. Topical details of the concept are described in the
    ten tasks outlined above. The final report will consist of a presentation (e.g. PowerPoint) detailing nine facets of a brand
    concept (counting at least 27 slides in total) and providing some clear strategies and recommendations respective to it
    so that stakeholders who have not been involved in the development process will be able to understand the concept
    and evaluate the likelihood for a successful implementation.
    At the first meeting on the 27th of February all students will be allocated to groups (including remote students) and will
    start drafting the concept by choosing a context (which can be wine but also related products).
    Due March 31 2016


    Submission
    Students are expected to submit their work by the due date to maintain a fair and equitable system. Extensions will
    generally only be given for medical or other serious reasons. All requests for extensions must be emailed to the lecturer
    in charge of the course before the due date. Each request will be assessed on its merits. A late assignment (without
    prior arrangement) will be penalised by a 5% mark reduction for each day that it is late. All assignments are to be
    submitted by the due date using the Turnitin facility on the course MyUni website. Assignments will be marked
    electronically and returned that way too. Please remember to keep a copy of all your work. Each assignment must also
    have an assignment cover sheet as its first page and title page after that.
    Late Assignment Submission
    Students are expected to submit their work by the due date to maintain a fair and equitable system. Extensions will
    generally only be given for medical or other serious reasons. All requests for extensions must be emailed to the lecturer
    in charge of the course before the due date. Each request will be assessed on its merits. A late assignment (without
    prior arrangement) will be penalised by a 5% mark reduction for each day that it is late.
    Return of Assignments
    Lecturers aim to marked and return assignments to student within two (2) weeks of the due date.

  • Student Feedback

    The University 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 University 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
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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’s disciplinary procedures.
