Communication for providing proper
recommendation
Communication plays an effective role in success and growth of ALDI.
In order to carry out project by organisation in effective and efficient
manner, they need to have proper communication channel. They can
use written and verbal method for proper sharing of data and
information in firm. Similarly, the medium which can be used by ALDI
are report, presentation and online for convenience and easy
completion of project.

Own learning and performance
While I was implementing project in organisation, I faced lots of
problems and difficulties as time provided to me for project plan was
very limited. I need to analyse market, taste of consumer, preference for
business expansion. Due to less time, I missed many analysis which
was essential part of project planning. The budget made by me also
failed as it was more than expected which was also negative point for
me.

Conclusion
From above report, it can be concluded that globalisation helps in
integrating and interrelationship between different countries. This has
impact business and its functions in positive manner in respect of
political, economic, ethical and cultural. The business functions help in
achievement of goal and objectives.
