A research project is a formal attempt to answer a research question by means of using socialscientific tools and models of collecting information. Such a project can be carried out in anacademic setting or as part of a business research within a job role. I aim to carry out this researchproject to both satisfy the academic requirement as well as assisting the company Unilever Global inmeeting their corporate objectives.In order to meet the project objectives that I have outlined above, I will aim to look at therecruitment strategies of Unilever Global through the information available on the Investor Relationsection of their global website. This will include their Annual Reports, Sustainability Reports andPress Announcements. I will then cross reference and critically evaluate this information againstsome primary information that I aim to gather from their employees and managers in the shape ofquantitative and qualitative research respectively. The project management plan helps in achievingaim and objectives of assigned project work in effective manner. They are described below:As already discussed, the scope of this research is global and the focus is on the recruitmentstrategies. As this research project is limited in scope because of limited time and word allowance,there is surely room for further investigation into other areas of HR such as training and staffdevelopment. In context of Unilever, scope is to identify ways through which they can recruit andselect employees for better work performance. Along with this, multinational companies requiretraining and development session for their working force so that goal and objectives can be met ineffective and efficient manner.As far as the costing is concerned, I will list down the costs of carrying out this research project. Incontext of Unilever, cost incurred for carrying out project work is 70,000. There are differentactivities and operations which should be performed. There will, of course, be additional costs if thecompany decides to act on my recommendations to take further steps in improving theirrecruitment strategies. The following costs will apply:CostExplanation Amount (£)Opportunity cost of timespent by employees andmanagers in taking part inthis researchEven though these employees are not paid anyextra to participate in this research, they willhave to forgo some of their work in order to setaside time for this project and hence theopportunity costs calculation.20,000Research costsAdmin, transport, stationary & IT costs to gatherprimary information (both qualitative andquantitative)5,000Consultancy chargesThese are the charges for my own services andany services contracted out20,000Training CostsThis is the cost of discussing the outcome of thisresearch project with the relevant employees andmaking available any required resources.20,000Sundry ExpensesAllowance to account for unexpected and pettycash expenses5,000Total Cost80,000The standard time-frame for this project is eight weeks although I will attempt to complete it in tenweeks, keeping the final week as a buffer time.
