INTRODUCTION
Globalisation is the elaboration of products, technology, information and employment in

by revenues with other metrics. In context with the present scenario, the policy of nestle deals
with recruitment, training and development, remuneration. The company wants to improve their
recruitment and selection methods to recruit the number of applicants for expanding the business
in international market. The company is not aware about the recruitment process of various
countries, so they want to conduct an research for the MNC companies to improve their
recruitment and training their employees in global market (Crane and Matten, 2016) . This
research project will focuses on the aims and objectives, along with the effective project
management plan, Work breakdown structure and Gantt chart. In addition with this, the
recommendation and reflection part along with deep analysis is done in this project.

that, the collected data do not get wrong or unauthenticated. There are high risk because
the data which is collected through qualitative and secondary method some times not
correct. So it can be risky to use it because it will not provide appropriate and required
information.
7. Resources : The resources used by researcher for completing the research are books,
articles, online websites and other. In this research project, there are various resources are
required to the researcher like fund, time, data collection method and others.
P3 Produce a work breakdown structure and a Gantt chart
Gantt Chart – This is type of bar chart in which different activities of a specific field is
included, and this chart shows that on which time, each activity is to be performed and in how
much duration it will going to be completed. This chart is handle by the manager of the project
which track the performance of the individual and the report of the overall project. This chart is
not bind for a particular field, this can be used in any area.
