This research proposal investigates the influence of globalisation on business success, using Marks and Spencer as a case study. The proposal begins by outlining the research question, objectives, and the rationale for selecting this topic, emphasizing the importance of understanding globalisation's impact on business strategy and skills development.

The proposal details the activities to be carried out, including literature review, data collection, and analysis, along with a timeline and the use of a Gantt chart for project management. The research approach and methodologies are described, including the use of primary and secondary data collection methods, a deductive research approach, a pragmatist research philosophy, and quantitative data analysis. The proposal highlights the importance of research approach, strategy, and the time horizon for the project's completion. The research aims to provide valuable insights into the effects of globalisation on business performance and strategic decision-making for companies like Marks and Spencer.
