International competitiveness, being a key objective of each economic entity, is at the same time significantly determined by the level of risk the entity is coping. Based on the assumption that risk ...management is directly linked to competitiveness in agribusiness, the scope of this paper is predominantly focused on the wine agribusiness in Croatia. The aim of this paper is to encompass available literature and transfer findings to interested parties, about risks and competitiveness in agriculture, with particular reference to the wine sector. Qualitative analysis of secondary data, descriptive i.e. monographic method, deductive method and comparison of available papers from the world and Croatia were applied in the paper. There are very few companies in general, however, that tend to use their abilities to manage risks as a source of competitive advantage. These companies go beyond compliance or cost-controlling defensive approaches and take a more aggressive stance toward risk. They have realized that their risk management capabilities can be leveraged as a source of competitive advantage (Elahi, 2013). Current literature showed that such companies indirectly exist within global agribusiness. Examples of such companies in the wine sector could be found in Old World and New World wine countries. In regards with the mentioned, further research in the wine sector that would more directly link competitiveness and risk management and benefits that could be drawn from such “linkage” is needed.
The wine sector is a recognizable part of Croatian agriculture with a long and rich tradition. Autochthonous varieties give market identity, significance in tourism, agricultural income and rural ...employment. The goal of the paper is the qualitative analysis of the strategic risks of Croatian wine sector facing EU accession. This paper presents trends in the vineyards and grape and wine production of elapsed transitional period. Qualitative risk management model is used to display the influence of the key risk sources and the guidelines for the risk management. Research results indicate that the wine sector in Croatia is under high risks because of the internal weaknesses as well as due to the external threats. Financial stability is seriously endangered and expected decrease in wine prices will influence future deterioration.

Strateški menadžment se može definirati kao umjetnost i znanost formuliranja, primjene i ocjene međuovisnih odluka koje omogućuju subjektu da postigne svoje ciljeve. Cilj strateškog poslovnog ...upravljanja je stvoriti stratešku i konkurentsku prednost u odnosu na druge organizacije. To se postiže oblikovanjem jasne vizije, misije i ciljeva organizacije u dugoročnoj vremenskoj perspektivi i primjenom strategija koje vode do postavljenog cilja. Strategije mogu uključivati strategije troškovnog vodstva, strategije razlikovanja ili diferencijacije i usmjeravanje na tržišne niše, kao i odluke o odabiru tržišta, strateških saveza, vertikalne integracije i/ili organskog rasta organizacije.Sve navedeno od važnosti je u poljoprivredi i proizvodnji hrane s obzirom na brojne i brze promjene u tehnologiji, tržištu i geopolitičkim odnosima. Liberalizacija tržišta, klimatske promjene, promjenjivost cijena poljoprivrednih proizvoda, repromaterijala i sektora energije i tehnološki napredak (biotehnologija, nanotehnologija) samo su neka od obilježja kompleksnosti suvremenog agrobiznisa. U obzir treba uzeti i važnost sigurne opskrbe stanovništva hranom, zadržavanje stanovništva u ruralnom prostoru i ukupni ruralni razvoj. Pretpostavka je da primjena strateškog upravljanja pozitivno utječe na rezultate poslovanja. Cilj je rada istražiti povezanost između teorije strateškog upravljanja u agrobiznisu i prakse te oblikovati smjernice za poljoprivredna gospodarstva u Hrvatskoj. Iako je u Hrvatskoj u razdoblju od neovisnosti napisano i usvojeno mnoštvo strateških planova, rad se ne bavi procjenama strateških planova već strateškim upravljanjem i njegovoj važnosti na mikro razini (razina poljoprivrednih gospodarstava i poslovnih subjekata).
