Abstract

The development of human resources is a key factor for the success of organizations. Continuous training is an essential tool for this organizational development and is essential in the organizational process of change. Companies in the Rioja wine business have established important strategic objectives to deal with change in the highly competitive industry, which demands new and ongoing strategic plans. This study aims generally to analyse the strategic planning and the implementation of and requirements for continuous training in the Rioja wine sector in Spain. A quantitative study was performed by means of an interview questionnaire given to 58 wineries from the Rioja Denomination of Origin, consisting of 32.40% of the Rioja population. Two stratification criteria were utilized in the collection of data: the size of the company and the geographical localization of the wine production area. No significant differences were found in the realization of and requirement for training related to the objectives of strategic planning. This work contributes to the field of study of administration of companies by investigating key industrial knowledge in the Spanish economy, specifically in the La Rioja community, and emphasizes the necessity of further in-depth studies concerning change in planning in organizations.
