Topic- How do multinational companies improve the recruitment, selection and training of
their employees to meet International requirements?
INTRODUCTION
Globalisation defined as process of integration of marketing in global economy that leads
to enhance interconnectedness of national economies. It allows to have greater trade across good
and services at national boundaries (Charles, Schmidheiny and Watts, 2017). This termed out as
free movement of goods, services and people across the global in seamless and integrated mode.
It is one of the crucial concept that aids to enhance technological development of past few
decades.
The present report is based on business activities of Nestle, It is world leading Nutrition,
heath and wellness firm and deals in products as chocolates, drinks and condensed milk etc.
Furthermore, report will cover things as to frame aims and objectives on the topic of
research, the number of research methodologies must be defined to select one suitable method of
collecting data and depth analysis and interpretation must be conducted so that all things can be
carried out effectively.
LO 1
P1 Devise the background, aims & Objectives.
Multinational corporations are firms that set up operations in more than one country.
Globalisation termed out as process in which people, ideas spread throughout the world and there
must be enhancement in economic integration between countries (5 benefits of international
expansion, 2017). Therefore, globalisation refers to fast and steady integration among countries.
Foreign direct investment aids to enhance greater growth, industrial restructuring, helps in
boosting technology transfer, technical innovation and enhancement in growth of global
companies.
This report aids to give the depth insights about the impact of globalisation over
multinational companies. Furthermore, this is defines as integration of the global economy
through which countries get interlink in variety of ways. In addition to it, greater specialisation
enables lower cos and lower price of customers.
AIM

To access the impact of globalisation on multinational corporation to meet international
requirements. With reference to case study on Nestle.
Objectives-
 To articulate the concept of globalisation to meet international requirements.
 To identify the advantage of bringing improvement in process of recruitment, selection
and training of their employees.
 To explore the issues faced by multinational corporation to reach at global level.
 To promote suggestive measures in order to have improvement in recruitment, selection
and training of employees to meet international requirements.
P2 Description on project management plan that covers cost, quality, time, resources etc.
Project management plan is kind of formal and approved document that leads to project
executed, monitored and controlled (Crane and Matten, 2016). Thus, it covers the scope baseline,
schedule baseline and cost baseline. It is helpful in order to determine the scope, identification of
stakeholder and aligning all kind of procedures. Thus, project management plans defined in
following manner as are-
 Project scope- The main aim of report is to determine the impact of globalisation on
multinational corporations. It aids to determine and define the scope of project that aids
to set foundation to have development in project activities. It is plan that covers all
activities that leads to carried out all functions in appropriate manner.
 Cost- It is term that helps to estimate the cost of project report. Therefore, it is an crucial
plan Thus, all estimation are needed to be done in order to accomplish the all activities in
suitable project duration (Davies, 2016). The cost related to project are mainly divided
into three parts as capital items, expenses and labour etc. with the help of adequate
resource the all activities can be competed effectively.
 Time- In project plan activities, there are number of things that needs to be assigned
particular deadline (Matveev and et.al., 2016). By assigning this, the things can be
delivered within proper time. With help of having time-frames, there can be ease in
completing the project. Thus, deadline must be realistic so that long term goals relate
with project can be achieved.

 Resources- This means things that are required to carry out project successfully. Thus,
man, labour, capital etc. are required to accomplish the all project activities effectively.
All these resources are required to have so that project can get accomplished timely.
 Quality- The project quality must be maintained so that all things can be carried out
effectively (Neubauer and Lank, 2016). Thus, quality tool leads to carry out the project
activities effectively. In order to build a project management plan effectively, it is
essential to understand the all requirement of project report.
 Communication- The proper communication must be done between the various
stakeholders. With help of integrating the all things effectively and by making proper
communication the all project related activities must be carried out effectively. Under the
plan of PMP, there must be description on the system of communication and it provides
proper documentation that leads to provide various stakeholders.
P3 Produce work breakdown structure and Gantt chart to provide time-frames and stages for
competition.
Work breakdown structure in project management is one of crucial component that aids
to organise the team work into manageable sections. This can be termed out as deliverable
oriented hierarchical decomposition of work that can be executed by the project team effectively.
Thus, all activities are needed to be frame in following manner as-

LO 2
P4 Define small scale research with application for meeting aims and objectives.
It is process that used to gather information for the purpose of making one effective
business decision. Thus, methodologies should be inclusive of research, interviews, surveys and
other techniques that aids to present information on topic of research. Thus, research
methodologies are defined in below contexted manner as-
 Research philosophy- It is belief with help of which data can be gathered, analysed and
used. It is effective term that works as to deal with source, nature and development of
knowledge (Venkateswar and Bandyopadhyay, 2016). Thus, research philosophy
classified in terms as positivism, interpretative, realism and pragmatism etc. In addition
to it, positivism philosophy is based on knowledge and on natural phenomenon and
relations. On the other hand, interpretive philosophy relies on trained researcher and
human subject and that typically involves the observation and interviews. To get the
depth implication of globalisation on multinational companies the researcher has used
interpretative technique so that aids to integrate the human interest into a study.
 Research approaches- This is term that is defined as plan and procedure for research
that aids to gather detailed methods of data collection, analysis and interpretation. Thus,
research approaches are classified into two categories as Adductive, inductive and
deductive. The inductive approach relates with emergence of new theories and
generalisation. Abductive research based in surprising faces and puzzle and deductive
approach relates with developing the hypothesis that can be tested during the research
process. To access the implication of present research the researcher has used inductive
technique to generalise from the specific to the general. The main aim of this is to get

depth description of impact of globalisation on multinational company to meet
international requirements.
 Research strategy- The term research strategy defined as step by step plan of action that
aids to give proper direction to thoughts and efforts that enables to conduct research
systematically. This is system that helps to produce quality result and detailed reporting.
Thus, research strategy classified as descriptive, analytical, casual experimental,
correlation etc. it is one of the technique that support to give quality result and detailed
reporting. Thus, descriptive technique defined as to get the depth information about the
impact of globalisation on multinational firm to reach at global level. In this, researcher
has used descriptive technique so that detailed information can be collected.
 Data collection- The term data collection can be defined as process to gather, measure,
collect the information based on variables of interest. In this term, it can be stated that the
accurate data collection is very crucial to get the complete picture of an area of interest.
Thus, method of data collection are divided into primary and secondary. This technique
aids to maintain the integrity of research and to make informed business decision. On the
other hand, primary method can be termed out as to gather first hand information with
use of survey techniques so that reliable data can be generated. In addition to it,
secondary method can be useful to collect the information with help of books, online
articles and journals etc. In this present research, the researcher has used primary
technique.
 Sampling- This is method that termed out as process, act and technique that is suitable to
conduct statistical analysis on predetermined number of observation taken from larger
population (Waddell, 2017). Thus, the method of sampling classified into categories as
random, systematic, cluster and stratified. Under this, every element of population must
have an equal chance of occurring. Thus, to access the impact of globalisation on
multinational corporation the researcher has used sample random techniques. In this, the
probabilistic technique will be chosen with sample random approach. In this, I have taken
the sample size of 50 respondents as employees.
 Data analysis- This is process that defined as inspecting, cleansing and transforming
whole information so that one better decision can be taken. Thus, data analysis can be
defined as qualitative and quantitative. The term qualitative research termed out as

primary exploratory research and this used to gain understanding of underlying reasons.
It aids to develop ideas and hypotheses. The quantitative method work as top collect the
information with help of statistical tool and techniques. In this present research, the
researcher has used quantitative technique.
 Ethics- It is essential to conduct the method that aids to collect the data with help of
proper dignity, rights and welfare of research participants. In this research, the prior
consent must be taken from the participants from disclosing any information. This is
crucial to protect the anonymity and confidentiality.
