Resumo: | Although small family-owned businesses populate the wine industry, they encounter greater barriers when trying to promote their wines, especially at an international level. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how small wineries can stand out from competitors. The level of rivalry in the market is lessened when producers can differentiate their products. While an innovation strategy is crucial for wine producers to compete, research on how they approach such practices is scarce. This work seeks to complement the existing literature by illustrating the analysis with a case study of Ervideira, a Portuguese family-run winery. The company’s international success relies on the production of high-end wines and innovation both in the production methods applied and the services provided. The company has invested in promoting the wines through direct contact with clients via the wine club, its stores, and its website, as well as attempting to attract potential customers through wine tourism and trade fair participation. I conclude that small wineries can differentiate themselves in the market by managing innovation and quality while nurturing tradition and adjusting to global consumer trends. |

O objetivo desta tese é investigar como é que eles se podem demarcar dos seus concorrentes. O nível de competitividade no mercado é minorado quando os produtores conseguem diferenciar os seus produtos. Embora uma estratégia assente na inovação seja crucial para os produtores de vinho competirem no mercado, a pesquisa existente explora pouco sobre como eles abordam estas práticas. Este trabalho procura complementar a literatura existente ao ilustrar a análise com um estudo de caso da Ervideira, uma empresa vitivinícola portuguesa. O sucesso internacional da empresa passa pela produção de vinhos de alta qualidade e pela inovação tanto nos métodos de produção aplicados como nos serviços prestados. A empresa tem apostado na promoção dos vinhos através do contacto direto com os clientes por meio do clube de vinhos, das suas lojas e do seu website, bem como na procura de potenciais clientes através do enoturismo e da participação em feiras. Concluo que os pequenos produtores de vinhos podem diferenciar-se no mercado aliando inovação à qualidade, enquanto cultivam a tradição e se adaptam às tendências de consumo globais.Reis, Ricardo FerreiraVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaGouveia, Mafalda Alexandra Carreira de2023-05-15T11:57:43Z2022-10-252022-092022-10-25T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/41117TID:203133900enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:46:42Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/41117Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:33:47.580042Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
