TASK 1
P1 Project aims and objectives.
Research Aim: “How do multinational companies improve the recruitment, selection and
training of their employees to meet International requirements” ?
Research objectives:
 To analyse the importance of employ changes in recruitment, selections and training
practices in firm.
 To evaluate the methods of recruitment and selection.
 To analyse how an organisation can meet international requirements of consumers by
improving their recruitment, selections and training practices.
Research Questions:

coordinate each and every attribute in better way by communicate vision and mission of their
organisational objectives in proper way. By bring changes in their internal structure and practices
at time of expanding in global market Nestle should easily access the needs and wants while
operate at international level or requirements in positive way.

P2 Project management plan.
Project management plan is a written document that useful to describe the each step of a
project by including the components that are planning, executing, monitoring and controlling
each attribute.
Cost:
Cost is one of most important aspect for a project to plan each and every attribute in
proper way. In the research project after dividing the cost researcher should accomplish desirable
results to reach at potential outputs (Bartlett, Doz and Hedlund, 2013.). The total cost of the
project for evaluating the importance of change in HRM practices while going global 65000
pound.
Scope:

resource practices while operating at global scale. In order to it proved beneficial for both
organisations as well as individuals to determine the importance of various kinds of practices to
get right kind of outputs.
Time:
Time is crucial for an project holder to attain desirable outcomes at right time by
dividing works and activities in proper time frame. With out proper time frame of each and every
activity probability of failure of the project should be enhanced. So researcher divides each and
every activity and it takes almost 15 months to complete that particular research project.
Quality:
Quality is crucial aspect to lead in market as concerned with researcher to get best and
potential outputs while conducting research and development (Boutros and Purdie, 2014). In
that particular research project to maintain quality samples should be taken from the large no. of
population to get accurate and error free outcomes.
Communication:
Communication is very much essential for an researcher to deliver right kind of values
and knowledge to right people at right time to attain organisational goals. In that particular
project they follow systematic path of communication in which higher authority passes through
the systematic chain.
Risk and resources.

Risk and resources is critical for a researcher to deliver potential results value to gain
research objectives and goals in positive manner. The major risk is about failure of the project
for that researcher have to plan each and every attribute. With in resources consist of manpower,
material and management to deliver right kind of values.
P3 Work breakdown structure and Gantt chart to provide time-frame.
WBS Per forma:
WBS proved beneficial to divide complex projects into simpler and manageable tasks in
that process to get fruitful objectives (Cleden, 2017. ). This method used by project manager
with objective of simplifying the tasks for execution of a project. With help of it much larger
tasks should be broken into chunks of works. In context of Nestle they use WBS to simplify
works to manage activities for attain potential results.
Gantt chart:
Gantt chart is an visual display of various tasks into scheduled activities to get desirable
objectives over time. It proved helpful for researcher to plan all kinds and sizes projects and

showing the works and action to be scheduled on a specific day. By it, Nestle can be able to
specify works and activities in pre determined time period to get potential outcomes.
TASK 2
P4 Research analysis/ methodology.
A research methodology is an formalised activity to get out some hidden facts and figures
. It can be draw kinds of methods that are qualitative and quantitative methods in which includes
experiments, survey research and observation with questionnaire.
Qualitative research:

That research mainly a kind of exploratory research. It proved beneficial to grab
important information about intellect, thought and causative to get right kind of objectives in
organisational context. It helpful to develop ideas and related hypothesis by conducting potential
quantitative research. In that particular project qualitative research proved beneficial in that
subject material should be evaluated with greater details.
Quantitative research:
Quantitative method of research focus on measurement of objectives by using statical
tools and mathematical with numerical analysis with help of polls, questionnaire and various
kinds of surveys by using computational tools. It proved beneficial for that particular research
project that it is able to gain accurate and measurable results.
Primary research:
Primary research is conducted by researcher itself usually in context of customer’s to
gain target by asking questions to gather important knowledge and information (Drucker,
2012.). The major examples of primary research are interview and questionnaire.
Secondary research:
Secondary research includes the summary of the whole project, collation and synthesis of
the existing research project. Secondary research contrasted with the primary research that
involves generation of ideas and data on other hand in secondary research in which collection of
newly collected data (Fageha and Aibinu, 2013.). It is not too much costly and easily available
to gather important data and statistics. In that particular project the secondary data should be
collected by books, journals and articles.
Sampling:
sampling is the process used in a statical analysis that used by pre determined using no.
of observations that are taken from large no. of population. In that particular project the sample
should be taken from large no. of population and sample size should be 12.
