Abstract: This study aimed to analyse the influence of management system maturity on the competitiveness of wine cooperatives and industries. In order to do so, the management system maturity, the benefits resulting from this system and the efficiency and competitiveness of wine cooperatives and industries in south Brazil were accessed. Two main hypotheses were tested. The first was that competitiveness varies between cooperatives and wine industries and the second was that the management system has a significant and positive influence on the companies' competitiveness. Regarding the first hypothesis, despite the differences observed in the efficiency comparisons, it was not found a statistically significant relationship between efficiency and perceived competitiveness. As for the second hypothesis, a positive and statistically significant relationship was found between continuity of management system and perceived competitiveness, but this variable was able to explain only a small portion of competitiveness. Despite their managerial usefulness, these results indicate the need to create in future studies a broader construct to analyse competitiveness, combining management maturity analysis, efficiency assessment and other external factors.
