P2 Project management plan that covers various aspects
In order to conduct research, there are different components required. So, on basis of it
resources are allocated (Pieterse, 2018). Also, scholar gets an insight about it and study is
conducted in smooth way. The components are described below: -
Cost – this is an essential component that enables in allocation of resources. Cost is required to
travel, stationary items, etc. increase in cost also results in increasing time of study. For this
research total cost required will be approx £100.
Time –It is also crucial element as it provides an estimation of time in which research will be
completed. The schedule is developed, and roles are assigned (Pieterse, 2019). The present
research will be completed within 7 weeks.
Scope – this study will show what strategies and measures can be followed in recruiting and
selecting candidates. Also, what policies can be formed and implemented in it and how needs are
fulfilled.
Quality – It is necessary for researcher to maintain quality of data so that effective outcomes are

maintained by setting standards.
Communication – An effective communication is required to conduct study. For this e mail will
be used in formal communication (Papastergiadis, 2018)
Risk – The risk assessment will be conducted to identify risk. Then, accordingly proper
measures will be taken to mitigate it.
Resources- There are some resources required like human resource, software, server, etc. in

LO 2
P4 Small research by using qualitative and quantitative method

and attaining aims and objectives. Research methodology provides a framework of various
method used. They are discussed as follows –:
Research philosophy: It is the framework of entire research. It shows how overall study is been
conducted and purpose of research (Crane, Kawashima and Kawasaki, 2016). There are different
philosophies available that can be used such as positivism, interpretivism, realism, etc.
Pragmatism uses concepts to develop knowledge about it. However, in interpretivism
quantitative data is evaluated which is based on topic. Positivism philosophy is used to find out
how MNC are working at glob level to fulfill their needs.
Research design: It is comprised of various components. It is a strategy implemented by scholar
to integrate different elements of research in valid and articulate method (Smith, 2018).
Exploratory, descriptive, etc. are different design. It depends on scholar willingness that which
design is to be used. Descriptive design is used to as it will enable in analysing in depth about
how MNC are capable of meeting their needs at global level.
