for achievement of their objectives (Williamson, Carson and Foley, , 2019). In the present report
Jaguar has been considered as organisation dealing in luxury cars. It was founded in year 1922
and its headquarter are present in Whitley, Coventry UK. This report deals with aims &
objectives, project management plan and a discussion related work break down structure & Gantt
chart. Further there is application of quantitative and qualitative methods and analysis of research
tools & techniques. At last, there are findings and recommendation followed by reflection of

LITERATUER REVIEW
Concept of equality & diversity
According to view points of (Tardos, and Paksi, 2018). equality & diversity is a concept
playing a major role in enhancement of productivity of employees. If there are no discriminatory
practises being followed in a organisation then it will have a positive impact on employees
performance level. Workplaces are becoming very competitive day by day and to meet various
objectives. A diverse workforce is very helpful in promotion of a diverse & positive culture. In
jaguar such type of culture leads to enhancement of overall brand image in external market.
Different factors which are translating employees performance in Jaguar
According to view points of (Syed, Ali and Hennekam, 2018), equality & diversity
practises have a critical impact on employee performance. Equality & diversity practises has a
major impact on translation of employee performance in a positive manner. There are various
policies made with regards to equality and diversity in areas such as training of employees. In
various decision such as promotion as a motivational tool if there are no discrimination done
based on caste, race creed or colour then it results in increasing overall satisfaction level of
employees. There are no probability of internal conflicts between employees. In case of jaguar,
this organisation is responding to demographics & working patters. Employers are being more
flexible so that they are able to retain their competent employees according to their specific
requirements.
Importance of equality & diversity practises & policies in enhancing employees performance
According to views of (Nordqvist, and Röjd, 2018). When there are equality diversity
practises prevailing in a workplace then it leads to creation of equal opportunity of development
to all employees that results in increasing their performance level. There is growing importance
of equality & diversity practises at workplace such as it leads to drawing of ideas from different
experiences, skills, talent and resources. All this helps in gaining of a competitive advantage. In
Jaguar, this concept is applied by top management that helps them in reaping of market benefits
in a more better manner. There is gaining of knowledge from various areas of community that
helps in increasing of team productivity & raising organisation profitability.

P2 Project management plan with details of various aspects such as scope, time, quality, risk,
communication and resources
Project management plan is a document or can be related as a blue print that consist of
detailed description of different activities that has to be performed by a researcher in achieving
their overall objectives (Syed and Ozbilgin, 2019). There are various policies & plans that have
to be considered by management of a company. Various elements such as size, risk, cost, time,
communication & equality. All such element are discussed below:
Cost: Cost is the total monetary amount requited by research to perform various
objectives for accomplishment of research. In present case for completion of the research Jaguar
will require a amount of $ 70,000.
Scope: It is being analysed that this research as a wide scope as it will helps organisation
on performing various functions of business in a more better manner (Zanoni, and Janssens,
2018). In case of jaguar, there will be better understanding of how equality and diversity
practises are affecting overall objectives of organisation.
Time: This is a very essential aspect of every research as it is to be considered by
researcher in completion of all functions in given time frame. In case of Jaguar researcher has
been allotted a time period of six months for completion of research and achievement of various
objectives (Nachmias, Aravopoulou and Caven, , 2019).
Quality: it is not enough to complete a research but maintenance of overall quality is also
very important. Overall quality oaf a research can be maintained of data is collected from
authentic sources only. It leads to achievement of reliable objectives that is further applied by
management of Jaguar in strategy formulation.
Risk: One of major risk associated with research is maintaining confidentiality of
collected information by a researcher (Mahlangu, 2019). It is responsibility of researcher that
they have to provide assurance to respondent that all collected information will be used only for
the purpose of achievement of research objectives and will not be leaked or used for any other
purpose.
Resources: There are various types of resources that are critical for achievement of
research objectives and without without which a research cannot be successfully completed. In
case of Jaguar, researcher will also require resources such as human resources, financial

resources, technological resource in form of internet etc. so that there is effectiveness in
achievement of overall laid objectives (Kelan and Wratil, 2018).
P3 Work break down structure & Gantt chart to understand stages of project completion
Work break down structure: It is a process being implemented by various project
volunteers fir attainment of specific business goals (Iganski and Mason, 2018). Fundamental
concept of this structure is broken down in smaller tasks and then further subdivide in other tasks
for achieving team work. It is related with better understanding and a detail description of a
project (Green, 2019). His structure is used in case of larger projects further divided in smaller
parts. This framework is used in execution of project and all related aspect in a more systematic
manner.

Gantt chart: Gantt chart is referred to a graphical presentation of different tasks that are
being performed in course of a project (Fujimoto, and Härtel, , 201). It is presented by use of a
bar chart that is used for defining date of function to be performed with a specific assigned time
period. This was invented by Henry Gantt and is used in form of horizontal and vertical lines. In
this chart each activity is depend in earlier performed task as next step is only started if previous
one is completed in due course of time. Gantt chart is very useful in providing a basic idea of
how much time will be required in completion of each step of a research project.

TASK 2
P4 Application of qualitative & quantitative methods related to project aims & objectives
Qualitative research:
This type of research involves use of quantified data that is collected with help og
surveys, interviewer or questionnaire (Fejerskov, 2017). Quantitative research is used for
collecting information from present customers with help of samples created as whole population
cannot be approached for purpose of information collection. Basically there are four varieties of
quantitative research correlation, experimental, descriptive and quasi experimental.
Qualitative Research:
This type of research is used by researcher to focus on behavioural approach of
respondents and use it as a base for carrying on of research (Booysen, , Bendl and Pringle,eds.,
2018). This type of research involves bot interpretive research and naturalistic research that is
used for making meaningful interpretations. Major motive is to conduct qualitative research in
gaining understanding of culture, individuals with reference to a particular topic.
In present research, there is use of qualitative method of collecting data.
Data collection:
Data collection is a process used for gathering of data and information by researcher with
context of a particular topic that has to be further used for making analysis. Data is usually
collected by two basic methods such as secondary or primary form of collecting data as
mentioned underneath:
Primary Research:
This is a form of research where first hand information is collected by researcher with
hep of various mediums such as surveys, interviews or questionnaire (Baliamoune‐Lutz, 2016).
In vase of primary research, information is collected first time and is more authentic and
relevant at same time. Reason behind this is data is not extracted from a already exiting sources
that increase its level of reliability and authenticity.
In the present research there is use of primary research and information is gathered
through questionnaire. There are 50 respondents that have been considered by researcher for the
purpose of collected information.

Secondary Research:
This is a research method where data is collected with help of journals, websites,
newspaper, online availability of applications, government publication and etc. it is less reliable
source as compared to primary method of collecting data as it is taken form a exiting source and
there is no first hand information that is being used (Antoniades, 2016).
There is use of both primary & secondary approach of collecting data. In primary
research questionnaire is considered for the purpose of collecting data and in secondary sources,
online available sources have been used for collecting of information.
