INTRODUCTION
Globalisation refers to a procedure by which a firm start operating its enterprise upon
global standard. It helps organisations in developing their international influence for running
business successfully in new market (Urry, 2012). The present assignment has made a discussion
on impact of globalisation on organisations positively as well as negatively. For this purpose,
Jaguar has taken, this is a British multinational car organization that deals in manufacturing
industry. It is headquartered in Whitley, England and established in 1935. they provides a wide
range of commercial and personal vehicles. In order to conduct this project, researchers have
formulated appropriate aims and objectives by focusing as per present case scenario of Jaguar.
Here, some approaches and types of data analysis have discussed under research methodology
section, in order to make interpretation and further recommendation for respective company for
move its business into new emerging marketplace.
TASK 1
P1 Project aim and objectives
Internationalisation is referred as a procedure of growing interdependence of nations,
which leads to increase business in international market. It can be done by integrating the
concept of free trading, finance, people mobility and innovative ideas into business (How to
define globalisation? 2019). Here, free trade agreements and cross-border investment are taken
as main elements of such kind of integration. In respect of chosen firm, it is the fastest growing
organisation that serve its products in many countries, has gained various benefits by
implementing the concept of globalisation.
Initially, it is beneficial for accounting department as it facilitates technological
advancement which have decreased cost of transportation, computation and communication to a
wide extent. Secondly, reducing in overall cost of operations, company become more
comfortable to adopt new technical machines or software for improving their operational
activities. It will provide support for reducing duration of time as well as increase in produced
units of product. Thirdly, marketing sections easily get sufficient funds in order to make
promotions more effective which results into boost up sales and profits of company. Moreover,
human resource department gain an opportunity of develop new policies and practices which
facilitate to set up business globally in respect of achieving success of business respectively.

Therefore, it is economically feasible for respective company to locate various phases of
production in many countries. Similarly, some other factors that increases liberalisation of capital
market and trade in international market are- international competition, lawful proscription,
import tariff and non-tariff barriers and many more. Concerning on these factors, managers of
Jaguar can develop more effective policies and strategies to move business in Africa marketplace
(Held, 2013).
Topic: The positive economic, cultural and ethical impact of globalisation on entire operational
activities of organisation
Aim: “To evaluate the positive economic, cultural and ethical impact of globalisation on entire
operational activities of organisation. A case study on Jaguar”
Objectives: The main objectives of present research are mentioned as below:
 To ascertain the concept of globalisation for international expansion.
 To determine the optimistic effect of economic process in context of culture, economy as
well as ethical for Jaguar.
 To determine the challenges that Jaguar can face while moving its business in new
emerging marketplace.
Research question:
 What is the concept of globalisation for international expansion?
 What are the the optimistic effect of economic process in context of culture, economy as
well as ethical for Jaguar?
 What are the the challenges that Jaguar can face while moving its business in new
emerging marketplace?
P2 Explain project management plan that includes cost, time, scope, communication, risk,
resources and quality
For managing and developing a project report, researchers generally use the concept of
Project Management Plan (PMP). It provides the approaches for delivering the scope of a project
and developing appropriate planning as per requirement. It also acts as blueprint that gives
specific direction to researchers for attainment of specific aims and objectives.
Scope of project: Here, this tool of project management plan defines the scope of a new
project by which a organization can attain its long and short-term goals. In context with Jaguar as
it seeks to launch its new cars in Cape Verde, Africa marketplace, where people always look out
2

to purchase innovative vehicles which will fulfil their desires. Therefore, by identifying the
global impact of different aspects of globalization, in terms of economy, social, cultural and
ethical manner, it has evaluated that there is a large scope for Jaguar to start its business over in
new market of Cape Verde, Africa. By analysing the concept of globalisation, its management
can formulate effective strategies accordingly to grab attention of new targeted customers
towards its commercial and personnel vehicles.
Resource: For performing the current investigation which is based upon analysing
ethical, cultural and economic effect of globalization on Jaguar's operation, project creator need
an competent quantity of resources. It includes effective amount of funds, labour capital,
communication method as well as few another resources such as tangible and intangible. While
for Jaguar, to move its business in Cape Verde, Africa market, managers need to bring latest
technologies in business and give recruitment to talented product-designers and engineers at
workplace (Lovelock and Patterson, 2015). They will give support in making innovation as per
demand and preference of international customers.
Cost: This part of project management plan entails the amount which will be required to
complete a project. It also includes cost at which a company implements a new project in
business in order to gain profitability (Webster, 2014). In respect to current investigation, for
attaining this, research team needs approx 20,000 Euros. While, with respect to Jaguar, to start its
operations in new countries it has to spend an approximative amount of £180 million Euros.

Risk: As through various researchers' point of view, it has analysed that concept of
globalisation proves beneficial for companies in moving their businesses into global
marketplace. But yet this arises different challenges as well as problems related to run business
ethically in global market. In this regard, this is important for respective firm to focus upon such
risks which will develop while starting its operations in Cape Verde, Africa marketplace. As
people of Cape Verde, Africa majorly focuses on quality and innovation of products instead of
price before purchasing, therefore, Jaguar needs to concern on making improvement in its
vehicles and services before serving it directly into emerging area (Lasserre, 2017). While in
context with project point of view, risk associated with same also arise difficulties for researcher
in completing their activities in desired manner. In this regard, major difficulties arise with
completing each activity in given period with limited resources and capital.
Quality control: In order to obtain effective outcomes in efficient manner of a project,
this is significant for research team to concern on quality of same. By monitoring the procedure
under which each and every activity is carried out, project managers gain chance to reduce the
occurrence of its failure. Along with this, they can provide better recommendation to Jaguar
Company for moving its business into Cape Verde, Africa market. It will aids respective
organisation to develop as well maximise its goods or services quality efficiently, as well as
make business more accessible for targeted customers.
Communication: This part also plays a crucial role in completing a project successfully
as per desires and expectations. In this regard, this is important for project leaders to implement
an appropriate communication method (Gopalakrishnan and et. al., 2012). This would help
inamount of funds, labour capital, communication method as well as few another resources such
as tangible and intangible. While for Jaguar, to move its business in Cape Verde, Africa market,
managers need to bring latest technologies in business and give recruitment to talented product-
designers and engineers at workplace (Lovelock and Patterson, 2015). They will give support in
making innovation as per demand and preference of international customers.
Time: This aspect of PMP plan also consider as most element part that entails duration to
complete entire activities of project in desired manner (Cooke, 2012). Along with this, it also
suggests time-period under which a company can accomplish its goals and set objectives.
Therefore, to analyse the concept of globalisation and its role in moving Jaguar into new
4

marketplace as per case scenario, project-makers require near about 63 days. While for starting
business into Cape Verde, Africa era, respective company needs approximate a year.
P3 Explain work breakdown structure and Gantt chart
This technique mainly uses to divide major activities into smaller and manageable segments.
Through this process, researchers gain advantage to manage or maintain quality of project more
appropriately, as per expectation (Hamilton and Webster, 2018). Therefore, for managing a
successful business project, the major activities are given below:
To frame each and every activity which is divided by Work Breakdown Structure,
researchers of present project can consider the concept of Gantt Chart. It has developed by Henry
L. Gantt in the year 1917, for framing activities of a task in proper duration. This would help
researchers in managing a certain project in appropriate manner. In addition to this, by
representing the activities in graphical form, project-makers get chance to monitor, track and
make modification under procedures to obtain effective outcomes of project (Thomson and
Thomson, 2012). Therefore, in context with present research, as major activities include
identification of problem, selection of suitable topic, formulation of aims and objectives,
literature review, research epistemology to collect information and more, time allotted may be
performed in an given way:

TASK 2
P4 Carry out small scale research
For completing a investigation, it is vital for project makers to consider the concept of
research methodology. It provides various techniques and sources, through which researchers
can organise, realise as well as interpret the information more efficiently. In this regard, majorly
two main concepts are involved in a project. It includes qualitative and quantitative data, which
helps in gathering reliable and relevant information as per desired manner.
Primary data: It consists information which is gathered through primary techniques. It
includes survey and questionnaire methods, interviews, group discussion and more (Lawton,
McGuire and Rajwani, 2013). This would aid researchers in obtaining original and reliable
information as well as obtain highly efficient data for making effective decisions for a company.
Secondary data: This method of data analysis includes external sources, from where
various researchers have given their viewpoints on same topic. For example: By extracting
articles from websites, investigators can obtain large amount of data in short period of time,
more easily.
Working on project and finding result is the most common method which has been using from
the last few decades. It has been further classified into qualitative and quantitative research
which is as follows:
Qualitative research: It defines as the information which gives in-depth knowledge of
the company. Knowledge to find management mind towards its future perspective planning and
the survey of its every move which has been taken in the past years.
Quantitative research: It defines the data which comes in the form of numbers. A hard
fact which has been derived from the collected data, structured in the form of statistics. It helps
in forming graph when a company wanted to know the general conclusion.

Research Methodology and Data Accumulation
Research Methodology: This consists techniques by researchers may collect adequate
amount of information from various internal and external sources (Dunning, 2014). These kinds
of data help a company in making appropriate decisions for attaining their longer as well as
shorter periods objectives.
Data collection: It includes process by which researchers can collect data from different
sources like- primary and secondary techniques. Here, primary source provides methods like
surveys, interviews and questionnaire to collect original and reliable information. While,
secondary sources provide internet access from where researchers can gather information in large
manner more easily.
Sample size: Since it creates various difficulties for researchers to conduct survey on
large population and analyse opinion of each respondent. Therefore, under this present research,
project makers have selected 10 respondents from entire population of size 100, on random basis.
This would help in gathering primary data and making interpretation of each in effective manner.
Sampling method: For selecting respondents from total population, project makers can
use various sampling methods viz. Simple Random, Stratified, Cluster and more. Here, under
this present report, researchers have taken random sampling method for choosing respondents on
random basis.
Secondary Research: This methodology includes external sources like articles, books
and journals, government census report, magazines, business statement of chosen company and
more, to collect relevant data and obtain outcomes in desired manner.
Questionnaire: It can be defined as a technique to analyse perception and opinion of
different people on same topic, for making effective decisions by a company. Under this method,
researchers of present project have set of variety of questions to analyse the conception of
internationalisation and if this proves advantageous for respective firm to emerge its business in
Cape Verde, Africa, a questionnaire is formulated for which 10 respondents are selected from
employees of respective company.
