TOPIC- To access the positive and negative impacts of globalisation on different business
functions. A case study on Aldi, UK.
INTRODUCTION
Globalisation can be termed out as process of intensification of economic, social, political
and cultural relation across international boundaries (Du Plessis, Varottil and Veldman, 2018).
This defined as integration of economies across the global with movement of good and services.
In developing countries, globalisation is essential as its provide immense benefits. It aids to have
economic growth of country with foreign investment triggering. The beneficiary aspect of
globalisation as it allows to have communication between nations, enhance free trade along with
technology, Media, education and other resources.
The present report based on business activities of Aldi, it is engaged in retail sector and
deals in product services of food, beverage, sanitary and household essentials.
Furthermore, the researcher will collect the research in terms to obtain information about
the positive and negative impact of globalisation on different business function. Therefore,
researcher will comprehend terminologies by creating robust argument in research and
assignment will also includes timeline of activities in form of Gantt chart.
Establish the aims and objectives.
The present report will focus over to access the positive and negative impact of
globalization on different business functions. It leads to have enhancement in competition and
that can be related to cost of commodities and services, adaption of technical advancements,
easier production by entities etc (Suhartanto and Leo, 2018). It has wide impact on working of
Aldi in manner of steep rise in price of goods and services. As per this context, the aims and
objectives are formulated as-
Aim
The aim of research study is “To access the positive and negative impacts of globalisation on
different business functions of Aldi.”

Furthermore, this research report will be completed within the period of 80 days.
Quality- It is crucial to improvise the quality of projects. This is needed to taken into
consideration so that desired objectives relates with research can be achieved.
Communication- The essential part of project is to put major focus over scope, deadlines and
budget (Thomasz and et.al., 2018.). Thus, lack of communication with individuals relates with
research can be a reason to issues. Therefore, project managers must have contact with
stakeholders in order to maintain the dignity of this report.
Risk and resources- The risk associated with research are needed to be analysed and this must
be controlled to ensure the validity of research. The need of resources as man, labour, capital all
associated with research report must be analysed.
Produce work breakdown structure and Gantt chart.
This is one of crucial method that aids to organise and completing work in project. It is
body of knowledge that defines the Deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of work that
has to be implemented by the project team.

Demonstrate the data collection and analysis for small scale research information.
Research method is a systematic plan that aids to conduct the research activities in proper
manner. It is one of effective procedure of data collection, analysis and interpretation. Thus, its
defined in following manner as-
Research philosophy- This is term that aids to gather and analyse information relates with the
research topic. There are differed types of research philosophies as interpretative, realism and
positivism etc. Therefore, interpretivism technique helps to analyse the topic that based on
human interest. The positivism technique is based on natural phenomena, properties and
relations. In order to determine the impact of globalisation on business operation, the researcher
will have the use of interpretative technique.
Research approach- This is procedure that aids to collect the research that enables smooth
integration of various facts and objectives about the study. Thus, there are basically two
approaches as inductive and deductive (Kothari and Lunkad, 2018). Under it, inductive research
is based on theories and model and also relates with generation of new theory emerging from
data. Therefore, deductive approach relates with aimed and testing of theories between two
variables. In order to determine the implication of globalisation on operational functions of
business the researcher will have the use inductive technique so that depth and better information
can be collected.
Data collection- This is procedure that aids to collect the information in terms to access the
positive and negative affects of globalisation on operational function of Aldi. Thus, there are two
types of methods as primary and secondary (Kalitanyi, 2019). Thus, primary techniques will be
in use to collect the fresh data. On the other hand, secondary method can be useful to gather the
information that involved the use of data that already being collected with primary research and
it can be collected with use of books, online articles, survey, questionnaire method and interview

etc. in order to determine the implication of globalisation on the business functions the
researcher will have the use of both primary and secondary technique.
Data analysis- This is term that aids to inspecting, cleansing, transforming and modelling the
data in terms to collect useful information. There are two method with help of which depth
information can be gathered and this are as qualitative and quantitative tool. In addition to it,
qualitative method is helpful in order to collect the information with use of unstructured and
structured techniques. This is very useful to gather information with use of focus groups,
individual interviews and observation. On the other hand quantitative technique will be useful to
determine the depth information with use of measurement, statistical, mathematical and numeric
analysis. In order to determine the impact of globalisation on function of business enterprise, the
researcher will have the use of qualitative techniques.
Sampling- It is procedure that is useful in terms to have the selection of techniques for testing
and analysing the information. Thus, there are differ type of sampling methods as cluster,
probable, stratified and random etc. In order to carry out the present study, the researcher will
have the use of sample random technique as it aids to have reduction in the chances of getting the
biased outcomes. In order to carry out the present research, the researcher will collect collect the
interview of 20 sampled respondents of Aldi.
