WINE 7777 - Wine Business Research Project (M)

North Terrace Campus - Trimester 2 - 2020

This capstone course draws upon the core and chosen elective curriculum to culminate in a robust original research project based upon an actual wine business with results integrated into a 5 year business plan or a minor thesis exploring an identified theoretic area worthy of exploration. Skills developed include high level strategic planning and the ability to plan and execute original research. Hence, the course integrates all of the interfacing elements between wine, business and marketing management as these relate to the 'real-world' side of the wine industry of today.

    Required Resources
    There is no prescribed text for this course, but a reading list relevant to the project and discussions will be provided. However, it is expected that students will look beyond these resources and find additional literature of value.
    Recommended Resources
    Whilst there is no prescribed text - the following book is strongly recommended:

    SPSS: Analysis without Anguish (Coakes and Steed)

    PLEASE NOTE!  Any version or addition of this text will be suitable!

    QUALTRICS DATA COLLECTION SUITE
    As an important part of your course, you will need to become familiar with the collection of quantitative data using a web survey. You will need to get yourself an account by going to www.adelaide.qualtrics.com and using your university password.

    "ADAPT” FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE
    ADAPT (Any Device, Any Place and Time) allows staff and students to access their learning and teaching applications on personal devices: desktops, laptops, tablets and smart phones, anywhere:

    • On campus via the UofA wireless network; and
    • Off campus via broadband access and 3G/4G Mobile networks.

    Through this “virtual suite” you will be able to use a range of licensed software products such as Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and the nVIVO Qualitative Data Analysis suite.

    Details for ADAPT can be found at:

    http://www.adelaide.edu.au/technology/yourservices/learning-teaching/adapt/
    Online Learning
    Most aspects of the seminars will be recorded and copies of the slides will be provided via MyUni. However, this is a highly self-directed project and will not be slide intensive. The purpose of the seminars is to review critical aspects of the approach and structure of your business plan / thesis and to review data collection, analysis and reporting methods. As such, these seminars are more workshops than lectures. Come prepared to work on your own projects.

    Course Website: www.myuni.adelaide.edu.au
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    Aside from the seminars, students will be encouraged to meet regularly with the course coordinator to discuss their projects in detail and receive help and guidance on issues and challenges particular to their own work. Hence, there is class contact and individual meetings; however, as discussed the bulk of the work is undertaken by the student working independently on their project.
    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
    Learning Activities Summary
    Seminar 1: May 26, 2017

    This initial group meeting and workshop will provide an opportunity for everyone to discuss their topic of interest and review the research proposal they submitted as part of the Research Methods course completed as a pre-requisite for undertaking the project. There will also be an opportunity to meet individually for a short 20 minute meeting with the course coordinator.

    The structure of project and thesis/business plan requirements will also be communicated and discussed. Students can also take the opportunity to ensure they have SPSS on their laptops and Endnote and some review tutorials on the use of these packages will also be done along with questionnaire design.

    Seminar 2: June 23, 2017

    This workshop will focus on SPSS data analysis methods and 'trouble-shooting'. Time for individual meetings will also be provided.

    Seminar 3: July 21, 2017

    This workshop will focus on interpretation of findings and the final 'write up' process. Again - individual meetings will be held.
    Specific Course Requirements
    YOU ARE CONDUCTING A REAL PIECE OF RESEARCH
    Importantly, this whole course is designed around you conducting your own piece of research. You will need to have collected your data and written your final report by the end of this course.
  • 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 Value LO

    The only assessment for this course is the submission of the Thesis (or Business Plan). This research report addresses all LO's for the course.

    The final submission date will be advised at the first seminar.
    Assessment Related Requirements
    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 with written feedback.

    Resubmission of Assignments
    We will not allow students to rework an assignment and resubmit, however will invite you to compile a final minor thesis. Once all three parts of the Research Project are completed and grades awarded, you have one week to prepare the full project and send it to us. We will reassess the whole minor thesis as a completed project.
    Assessment Detail

    Research Project (Parts 1, 2 and 3) – Total 100%
    Due to the nature of this research project, you will submit your report in ‘parts’. The purpose of this approach is three-­fold.

    A research project is a large project with specific aspects.

    It is envisaged that the entire project will e approximately 6,000 to 8,000 words (not including appendices and references). Whilst you have touched on many of these components in putting together a research proposal – in the report these aspects are more details and must be fully justified.

    1.1. Scope and terms of reference
    1.2. Importance of the research
    1.3. Time frame of the research
    2. Problem and objectives
    3. Secondary data report (literature review)
    2b – Research Project part 2 (30%)
    4. Research design (fully justified!)
    4.1. Qual/Quant or mixed – strengths and limitations
    5. Proposed sampling methods
    5.1. Units of measure – strengths and limitations
    6. Data collection instruments and methods – strengths and limitations
    7. Proposed analysis methods – strengths and limitations
    8. Profile of the data
    9. Data analysis
    10. Discussion of findings and relevance to stated objectives and the research problem.
    11. Recommendations
    12. Limitations of the study and directions for future research
    Submission
    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.

  • 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鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
