P2 & M1 Project management Plan
Project Management plan is usually implemented by the researcher to examine their
various activities which is majorly important in every planning and also it helps to examined the
risk which is to be associated in planning process (Tidd and Bessant, 2018). There are minute
things to be examined which are to be assemble to execute the project management plan such as:
Scope: Scope is mainly used by company to integrate their complete working structure.
In this case of Nestle company had examined their scope to enhance their working and also had
their clear vision and mission to achieve targets in more effective way. In this research
perspective it clearly indicates the clear vision and mission of the research by examining the
need of the scope of project.
Cost: Another important element in project management plan is cost. Researcher had to
manage their project is such a way that they can initiate the project with the available cost and
also execute all their planning properly (Thamir and Poulis, 2015). In this present report,
researcher will acquire £8000 cost to carry their plan to bring success.
Time: To manage time effectively is the important skill which is used at the time of
assisting such work. Researcher had to plan their time by viewing various activities which is to
be accomplished and also they had to put extra time in respect of getting errors in collecting the
data from restricted places. In this research time is important and approx 6 months is committed
to complete such project if they are conducted without any risk arises.
Risk: Risk in the planning arises at any time and also the researcher is to be mentally
prepared while facing the crises in their project (Hanson and et.al., 2016). The risk may be arises
in case of theft of collected data, lack of money which is to be needed to carry the research work

and also illness which results in delay in research work. In such cases risk arises which affects
the project at large scale.
Communication: Communication plays an important role as research work is only
completed when there is proper communication between the stakeholder regarding the discussion
related to completion of projects (Webb, 2017). There are various faces which is to be solved if it
results in communicating with people and it can either through telephones, mail, fax etc.
Resources and Quality: Resources are utilized by the researcher at the period of
carrying the research work (Reed and Card, 2016). As it includes the stationary, books and other
documents which is required top carry the research at success stage. Thus, it results in bringing
more effective research work and quality data are to be inserted in that research. Resources are
useful for the company to manage their day to day activities and also to provide quality work it is
effective to be taken care.

LO2
P4 Research Methodology
It determines various plan and process which is choose by researcher to conduct their
research in appropriate way (Muller, 2017). It includes the following method to carry their
research activity.
Research Methods Types Justification
Research types Quantitative and Qualitative There are various types of
research method to undertake
the research work and activity
to achieve success and in such
procedure they use the
Qualitative research method to
conduct the research work. In
this, they can raise
questionnaire, conduct survey
to gather information from the
selected topic.
Research Philosophies Positivism and Interpretivism In this research it carries
various ideas, thoughts and
expression to conclude the facts
and figure of the selected topic
which is selected in the research
(Larson and Gray, 2017).
Researcher had preferred the
interpretivism method to
interpret the data to get accurate
results. They can interpret the
available data from such
sources to gather information
from the selected topic.
Research Design Descriptive and Experimental The method carries the various

designing of the research to get
the accurate results by its
presentation. In this, researcher
had chosen the Descriptive
procedure to conduct the
research design in effective
manner. By choosing the
descriptive method they can
gather large number of
information from such sources.
Research Approach Inductive and Deductive It carries with proper planning
and procedure which is used by
researcher to collect data and
gather information from various
sources (Kerzner and Kerzner,
2017). In this researcher had
applied inductive method which
is chosen on bases of qualitative
method.By using the inductive
method they can collect various
facts and figure which helps
researcher to get more accurate
results.
Data collection Primary and Secondary data Data collection is important in
research work as data to be
collected help the research to
distinguish their research work
from other. In this researcher
had applied both the method to
collect data from the available
sources (Hillson, 2017).

Primary method is used to
collect data which is derived
from original sources while
secondary data is adapted to
collect information from other
authors.
Data Analysis Thematic and Non Thematic
Method
Data to be analysed after
collecting the information from
various sources. In this method,
the researcher had preferred the
thematic procedure to conduct
their research work (Wright,
2016). They present such data
by implementing themes to
identify various facts and
information in that research.
Sampling Random and systematic
sampling method
Sampling is used where there
are huge employee working in
the organisation (Archibald and
Archibald, 2016). Thus, In this
researcher had choosen the
random sampling to conduct the
valid research as they can
gather information form random
people. In this report they
gather information and reviews
from 20 managers to undertake
the research activity to get more
accurate results.
Ethical Norms Ethics are the set rules and
standards which is carried by

the researcher during
conducting research (Alvesson
and Sköldberg, 2017). At the
time of research, they didn't
disclose bay information
without raising the permission
of disclosure from the employee
and company as they carry
important details of the
company.
M2
In case of using the reliability in the research methods, it similarly applied in case of
examining the results by checking it in numerous times. As if the result are examined in a
hundred times they still giving the same results it means the research is reliable and the methods
which are used given the same results, in case of accuracy it is moreover relevant to reliability
but accuracy in such case of research methods are related to giving accurate results. Thus, the
research method which is based on Questionnaires and the queries and answer is given by
respondent accurate and reliable and also their judgement are to taken in effective manner.

P6 Recommendation and Conclusions
Conclusions
From the above study it is to be concluded that globalisation is such a process by which it
helps companies to take effective decision regarding expanding their operational activities into
global market. In such case matter related to recruitment, selection and training procedure of
employees it develops the company stability and reputation if they recruit the right candidates to
complete their work and bring more success to the company. Thus nestle company is the
multinational company and engaged with large number of employees. Thus, their training
procedure is also important which resulting enhancing their business at global market. It is also

concluded from above report that implementing such strategies and techniques in right way
result to bring more success to the companies at international level.
Recommendation
From the stated report it signifies that nestle company uses the strategies to enhance their
recruitment and training procedure of employees such as
 During recruiting the employees, the candidates are to be diversified on the basis of their
Knowledge in particular field and also their interest which they can carry forward to gain
more profits to the company. By implementing this process they can generate their
interest and attracted them to retain in company for longer time period and also they can
bring more creative in their work places and environment where they are engaging their
work to be completed.
 The managers of the Nestle company uses various innovative technique to attract their
employees towards their training process. Thus, it resultant in giving liability to the
employees to take own decision and complete the task by helping the team to achieve the
targets with more ratio of success. They also innovate effective culture norms to their
employees and also take care at the time of recruiting the employees to engaged their
business activities.
M3
The appropriate tools and techniques which is used in selection processes to get the
accurate and authentic results is applying various methods which resultant in bringing the more
accurate results and also the data and information are collected is accurate. In such cases there
are various strategies which is undertaken by researcher to gather information from such sources
by collecting data form primary and secondary method are important and also the data collected

LO4
P7 Reflections
It is clearly reflected from the above study that training, selection and recruitment
procedure are important in the Nestle company to recruit right candidates and carry their
authentic work to accomplish more goals. I also examined that training is the best procedure to
judge the capabilities of the employees to complete the task and also they are to be motivated

and trained in right direction. This helps companies to maintain their reputation and brand image
at large scale. I also identify that at the time of business enter into global market it results in
various factors which is to be changed and also company had to undertake such factors and
challenges in right directors to secure the interest of employees in the work places. Nestle
company carry the renowned brand name in the market thus they had to recruit such employees
which are of trust worthy and commit hard work in their task. This helps them to retain their
position in emerging market and also attract customers towards their services at international
level.
M4
The value through which the project management process is determined by planning,
organising, controlling the work and examining the task which resultant in completing the work
undertaken. By adapting this process it helps to set certain norms and standards which give more
appropriate decision and also the project is to be managed in right manner. If the process is well
designed it gives quality work to the researcher and the research work is unique and different
from other researcher.
CONCLUSION
As per discussed in above study it is determined that various business plan are to be
implemented to execute the research for effective results. In case of Nestle company they are
specialised in carrying the food products at international market thus recruiting the candidates
who had knowledge and experiences in such field and bring more creative and innovative ideas
in their work places. This helps companies to recruit the right employees and trained them
according to their skills and experiments.
