Exploring the supply chain of small and medium-sized South Australian wine producers

Trevor Wood-Harper Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester Email: [email protected] This research is part of a wider study that seeks to understand the nature of significant stakeholder perceptions as situated in the South Australian (SA) wine industry supply chain (SC) context. The focus is the small and medium enterprise (SME including micro) wine producers. It explores the complex relationships that exist within the supply chain of a number of case organisations and their perceived key stakeholders. This paper presents the findings from four case organisations and explores what they perceive to be important in their supply chains, who their perceived significant SC stakeholders are, why they are important, and what the implications are for their SC.
