      abstract = {Innovation and its uptake are two key ingredients in the  Australian wine industry’s rapid rise from cottage industry  to international success. The industry has a well-deserved  reputation of leadership in the funding, coordination and  adoption of both product and process innovation. This  leadership continues to underpin its competitive advantage  in oenological and viticultural practices, training,  branding, and export.

Empirical research, however, upon  which this paper is based, suggests that this success may  be disguising systemic flaws. One of the most threatening  of these flaws is the relative lack of access to the  industry’s dominant knowledge cluster by the myriad  regional firms. The intensity of this cluster and  inadequate transmission of knowledge beyond its parameters  is undermining the vast majority of Australian wine firms’  ability to participate in the industry’s leading edge  research and development. This, in turn, could well  threaten the industry’s future leadership.},
