LITERATURE REVIEW
Concept of globalisation and its impact on HRM practices
According to the opinion of Crane and Matten, (2016), globalisation is a method where
integration as well as interaction within individuals, government along with companies all over
the world. In reference to the current research topic, it has been said that there are different types
of HRM practices which are to be undertaken by management of the entity. With the assistance
of highly skilled employees, managers achieve their goals in an effective way within given
time frame. It has been analysed that the HR manager of an organisation does not rely on the
particular marketplace in order to find best and suitable staff members so that they can meet
the global requirements in an appropriate way. Therefore, it is said that due to globalisation,
HRM practices highly influences as it affects the overall business functions of the company.
Issues that may arise in front of Primark to meet global standard requirement
As per the opinion of Omri, Frikha and Bouraoui, (2015), it is clearly examined that
there are various elements which might influence the overall business functions. While doing
business functions managers of the company face cultural diversity, semiskilled employees,
language barriers, workforce diversity, legal policies and regulations and many more are the
common problems and issues face by managers of Primark while doing business expansion. It

has been analysed that all these issues affect the smooth functioning of the company in a
negative manner if not adopted in an effective manner. Therefore, it is very crucial for the
company that they must adopt all the legal policies appropriately. Adoption of all the
government laws effectively, managers of the company will be able to reduce negative issues
while meeting the global standards.
Changes that management of Primark needs to make within HRM practices for meeting
global requirements
As per the thought of Deresky, (2017), it is said that globalisation highly affects the
overall HRM functions or practices of the company in a negative manner. It is said that one
of the most effective method which can be used by companies while doing business
expansion is that they can build virtual teams. With the aid of virtual team, managers of the
company can effectively communicate with other members of the organisation who mainly
located outside the country boundaries. It has been said that the company will gain positive
results with the help of this. In addition to this, managers are required to modify there
strategies and policies according to the international marketplace so that they can achieve
goals in an effective and efficient way. In context of HRM practices, it is very essential for
the management team to create healthy and positive working environment, use 360degree
performance appraisal method, fair working environment and many more so that they can
enhance the performance of staff members in an appropriate manner.
Impact of globalisation on fund allocation
According to Hillary, R. ed., (2017) Globalisation is the aspect which is about
expansion of business activities beyond domestic boundaries. This aspect has direct impact
over the power of management in respect of the fund allocation because the nature of factors
and their impact is different in comparison to domestic. This has negative impact over
allocation process without carrying out proper research. Therefore, it has been said that
globalisation highly affects the fund or resource allocation, reason behind this is that while
doing business expansion various types of resources are required by the company so they
can work in an effective and appropriate way.

Impact of globalisation on financial accounting
According to Huntington, J., (2018) Globalisation allows the organisation the
business activities beyond domestic boundaries. The accounting provisions has different at
different nation which have impact over the overall financial accounting of the organisation.
Now, this has no impact after providence of common accounting principles by IASB and
IFRS. This will allows in proper application of the concept of financial accounting.
Produce a project management plan
Project management plan is a confidential document which is developed by the
management team of the company. It refers to the blueprint of each and every activity which
is going to be undertake within a year. In order to perform every activity in an effective
manner, various strategies are going to be formulated. With the help of project management
plan, team members of the company will be able to perform their task effectively and within
specific period of time (Crane and Matten, 2016). In the context of present research,
investigator has developed PMP so that they can perform their functions in an effective
manner. Some of the major elements are as follows:
 Cost: For every project, financial resource plays very essential role in order to conduct
the research in an effective manner. This is the backbone of every research as without
money activities can not be performed successfully. There are various types of cost
incurred in the project which includes operation cost, production cost, R&D cost and
many more. In the present research, total cost is around £350 in order to conduct the
research in an effective manner. Therefore, it is very essential for the researcher to
calculate the cost in an effective manner before conducting the research (Deresky,
2017). So that, funds can be collected and managed by the team within specific time
frame. With the help of sufficient amount of cost it is said that researcher will be able to
perform their investigation in an effective manner on the topic of impact of globalisation
on different functions of Primark. In addition to this, it has been identified that it is
essential for Primark to undertake cost in best effective manner as slight imbalance in
cost lead entity towards ineffective business operations such as production,
manufacturing and transportation. Thus, it is essential for Primark manager to formulate
proper budget as to operate operational functions of entity in a well defined and effective
manner.

 Scope: Scope of the present research has a wide range of scope, as with the help of
which they get new directions and opportunities at the marketplace. Each and every
project have some scope which as a result provide them opportunities. Before conducting
the research, it is very essential to define its scope. Along with this, scope of this
research is vast which provide ample number of opportunities while adopting
globalisation process. The present research will be able to provide wide range of benefits
to the other individual who will conduct the research on similar sector or topic in near
future. In this, it is essential for Primark research and development unit to effectively
analyse all the essential components within globalisation as to undertake use of wide
range of opportunities and expand growth of business in a well defined manner. In
addition to this, by expanding scope of business Primark can effectively able to gain
advantage of large base of opportunities that are present in marketplace that further guide
company towards high profitability and productivity.
 Quality: Quality is the another important element which need to be considered by
researcher while conducting this research in an effective manner. It is very essential to
maintain the quality of work done by researcher which as a result produce positive
outcome. In the present research, investigator needs to maintain the quality of all
gathered information so that they can produce positive results within given time frame.
Quality is an important concept that are required to be effectively consider by Primark
while conducting their production and manufacturing process. By offering quality
products as well as services Primark can not only able to ensure maximum growth but
also can ensure high competitive advancements compared to other competitors.
 Communication: In order to conduct the research effectively and positively it is very
important for the investigator to communicate with their team members on a regular
basis. With the help of proper communication, researcher will be able to maintain
coordination among team mates. Along with this, information can easily be transfer from
one person to another within stipulated time period. In the present research, investigator
adopt various medium of communication such as regular meeting, email, messages and
many more so that all the required information will be transferred in an effective manner
to each other. In context with Primark, it is essential for organisation to ensure well
effective communication process in their workplace structure. This will not only lead

smooth work efficiency but also benefit company to resolve issues and problems of
organisational workplace structure in a well defined and effective manner. This stimulate
company towards ensuring high productivity and profitability.
 Time: In order to conduct the research in an effective manner, there must be certain time
period. It is very important to decide time period in advance by the researcher. Each and
every activity included in the project management plan have some pre defined time
period. In the present research, investigator have decided to complete this research
within 2 months in an effective manner (Dutta and Bose, 2015). In order to conduct the
whole research in an appropriate manner, investigator requires more than 2 months so
that they can effectively conduct the research and produce positive as well as favourable
results. In order to accomplish goals and objectives of company in a time effective
manner Primark is required to ensure that all the activities and functions of company get
accomplished as per according to set deadline. With the help of this company can
effectively able to fulfil their objectives in best effective manner that significantly lead
entity towards high profitability and productivity.
 Resources: Resources includes ample number of items which are capital, human
resources, land, labour and many more. Without all these resources, researcher will not
be able to perform their task. In the present context of this research, human resources,
technological as well as financial resources are used by the investigator. All these
resources help in conducting the research in an effective manner. This will leads in
performing all business functions and gain positive results within given time frame.
Thus, as per the above mentioned discussion it has been identified that resources
acts as one of the most essential element that are required to be ensure by Primark as
to avoid any form of delay in their organisation functions. In this manager of
company is required to make sure that all the essential and required resources are
available in time effective manner as to conduct business functioning in smooth
way. This will lead company to ensure high growth sustainability with efficient
competitive advancements.
 Risk: It is one of the most essential element faced by investigators while conducting
research effectively. In the present context of research, it has been identified that it is
one of the most crucial element of project management plan. While collecting

information from respondents, it is very important to maintain the confidentiality of
personal information who take part in the process of gathering information.
Therefore, it is very essential for the management team to consider all the risk before
conducting any kind of business functions. This will help in developing various
types of favourable results in order to effectively run the business functions.
Furthermore, it has been evaluated that risk is one of the most important concept that
are required to effectively consider by Primark in order to undertake use of
maximum growth opportunities. In this risk manager of company play key essential
roles as to identify risk that are prevailing in external and internal environment of
organisation and further take advantage of all these opportunities in order to increase
organisational profitability in best effective manner.
Gantt chart and work break down structure
Gantt chart: It is a method developed in the year 1910 by Henry Gantt, which
mainly shows the equilibrium between time as well as activities performed by individuals in
order to complete the task. Gantt chart is a graphical representation of activities performed
and time duration which mainly shows the time duration of activities on x axis and on the
other hand performed activities on y axis on the chart (Glukhov, Ilin and Levina, 2015). In
the context of present research, investigator adopt this method which indicates the starting
as well as finishing point of activities. With the help of this, investigator will be able to
perform their work according to the predefine time period. This as a result, create positive
outcome within specific time period.

Work breakdown structure: WBS is a tool mainly used by project manager in order to divide
complex and time consuming task in different small activities. This method plays very
important role in the present research as it enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of team
members. WBS structure is used by project leader in order to complete the task within
specific period of time and in effective manner (Hillary, 2017). It has also been said that

each team member is assigned with work according to their efficiency. With the help of
WBS structure, researcher will be able to enhance the accuracy and reliability of result.

Reflection
While conducting the whole research in an effective manner, it has been observed by
me that there are various issues which affect the whole result of this project. When I was
interacting with individuals, I got to know that my communication skill and my time
management skill is not so effective which affect the whole outcome of the research. My
initial research didn't go well because I was lacking behind my schedule and my
communication skills were reducing my level of confidence. In addition to this, it has been
said that when I was gathering information from the respondents, my communication skill is
enhanced which provide me ample number of opportunities in near future. Along with this,
it has also been examined that all my capabilities and skills are enhanced when I was
conducting this research which gives me various positive results in near future.
Furthermore, there are different types of activities performed by the researcher in
order to produce positive outcomes effectively. It has been identified that one of the most
crucial as well as essential task for the researcher is to collect information from the
respondents in an effective manner. There are some factors or elements which affect the
overall result of the research. While collecting information it has been identified that my
communication and convincing skill is not effective which reduce the quality of research
outcome. It has been analysed that while collecting information, respondents do not provide
correct answers which affect the whole process in a negative manner. It has been said that
one of the good thing which is done by the researcher is that my skills has been analysed
which provide me various opportunities in near future. This is the process which requires lot
of time, cost and patience which affects the result as I was quite nervous while
communicating with respondents. Along with this, majority of respondents thinks that it is
one of the most time consuming activity which negatively affects the output of this research.
But at the end of this research, my communicating and time management skill is improved
which aid me nearly in future. I completed my work before deadline and I learnt various

skills which was not part of my personality earlier. This was the only good that I can take
from my project. It has been said that one of the biggest thing which is being learned by me
throughout the whole research is that for producing positive outcome it is essential to gather
high quality information and data.
CONCLUSION
With the aid of above stated report, it is concluded that globalization is the method
which extremely affect the performance of the organization in positive & negative way. It
has also been identified that each and every organization need to adopt effective recruitment
policies which assist in selecting, hiring and recruiting best candidate for the development of
company at the competitive marketplace. In this report, a Project management plan is
prepared with the assistance of which researcher can effectively conduct their work
positively and within specific time period. Along with this, researcher chose primary &
secondary method for collecting data which as a result produce positive outcome which is
authentic and accurate.
