P6 Make appropriate recommendations of research and data analysis to draw valid and
meaningful conclusions
Schofield has gained its popularity in small business sector hence does not require
variations in its operational process while achieving objectives and aim of the organization. The
functioning is already productive and successful in nature. Analysing past records, it is observed
that Schofield is gradually growing in right trajectory and demands no alterations in operational
unit. Still, manufacturing segment require some modifications in their work profile. This
difference occurred because of miscommunication, as supervisor is unable to practice proper
chain of commands to its employees. Workers are not provided with proper information about
operations which have negative impact on productivity (Andersson and Tuddenham, 2014). By
overcoming this problem, Schofield will be able to leave its mark on medium and large business
units. Also digitalisation, (as per demand of business) can be applied to expand business where
optimum use of resources can be achieved in effective and profound manner. It can be done by
using cloud technology for implementing HRIS for storing, retrieving and modifying their data
and information over the web. Cloud services are meant to be more flexible, time-effective and
invulnerable. By applying these measures, Schofield can expand its business operation and
activities in a structured and efficient way to meet organisational goals.
TASK 4
P7 Explain value of undertaking the research to meet objectives and aim of research project
Rectification of different problems which are faced while conducting the research is
essential. A researcher is required to develop an effective or appropriate detailed plan for all
business activities. An elaborate plan will be helpful in providing right direction to every task
in a systematic and proper manner (vom Brocke, Zelt and Schmiedel, 2016). The required plan,
developed by an investigator needs to be in a written form following proper order to decide time
and sequence of every activity. This will be helpful in executing all operations or activities in a
proper and more coordinated way. At the time of research, there are various other problems
20

faced by an investigator such as time or money, so it becomes essential to allocate the required
or necessary finance and also to decide proper time period for every activity. For collecting
complete data or information for the given sample size of 30 respondents , time assigned was
less . Finance which was provided to me was insufficient , regarding which I faced many issues
while conducting my research. If all these issues will be properly managed, then the chances of
firm to conduct its business operations in an effective or better manner will increase. For
gathering the relevant data or information, researcher has use various different platforms.
CONCLUSION
It has been concluded form this project report that digitalisation is a very essential tool
for gain sustainability as well as long term profitability of the company. Firm has use digital
technology as well as innovation process for produce new product and services. This this report,
research are conducting with 30 respondents and draw a valid conclusion to know customer
opinion on digitalisation and their impact on business performance as well as operation. It very
important for company's management to use effective digital technology which provide
profitability. Under this report study about Gantt chart which provide time frame of very task and
project activities.
