training program for employees?
3. How global requirement can be accomplished by uplifting training, recruitment and

P2) Preparing project management plan by discussing scope, time, quality, communication, risk,
cost and resources
PMP is designed by Kraft Foods to examine, monitor and to evaluate the overall
performance of the staff members working day and night to meet the desired outcomes.
Time: To complete the task total time frame required is ten weeks . This plays a
significant role in achieving the desired goals and objective (Holmes and Parker, 2017). By full-
filling the work according to the time frame best outcomes can be attained which is a plus point
for the business administration. In order to complete the research work in effective and efficient
manner the total time require is 10 weeks.
Cost: It is the backbone of every organization . To gain competitive advantages in cut
throat competitive world sufficient amount of fund is needed. Lack of money reduces the
2

workforce efficiency which is a negative sign for the business. To conduct the research work
smoothly adequate amount of cash amount required so that proper findings can be attained. An
estimated amount of $70000 is required to run the research activities smoothly. The research
work expenses are, travelling cost, stationary items, research cost, and so on. In order to conduct
this research activities easy sufficient amount of cash is needed.
Communication: To gain accurate findings for the conclusion of research work Kraft
Foods e need to adopt free flow of communication in their working premises. By this data and
information can be transferred easily from one end to another. It ultimately leads to best
outcomes in global environment (Killingsworth and Gilbertson, 2018). Email, face to face
communication, written method of communication, broadcast media communication etc. are
various communication channels that can be used by researcher in order to convey their message.
Face to face communication channel is used by researcher in order to exchange the idea
regarding the topic.
Quality: To bind the research for longer time duration it is important to provide them
quality work. It makes the project more valuable for the customers who are garbing the
information. It raises the goodwill in the eyes of the customers regarding the researcher. It leads
in accomplishing set standards in cut throat competitive world. Researcher gather the data from
qualitative approach so that expected result can be achieved easily. It does not have numerical
data in it which makes it easier to grab information.
Risk: It is the success ladder through which Kraft Foods can attain set goals and
objectives in global market. While conducting the research work various risk factors were
ascertained for which organization need to design unique strategies so as to overcome them.
Arranging the accumulated information in systematic manner was the huge risk faced by
researcher in their project completion. Due to which lot of time is consumed while arranging
them in proper order.
Scope: The scope of the research work is to provide authentic information by gathering
information from qualitative and quantitative method . To gain the productive results Kraft
Foods make changes accordingly in the framed tactics. The information is gathered from
primary data collection and researcher has huge scope in their project. The information is fresh
and is not used by any other respondent in their research topic.
3

Resources: Kraft Foods adopts recycling and other ozone-friendly method so that
effective utilization of resources can be done . The necessary resources needed to conduct the
research work are optimized at the fullest. Along with this employees are motivated to perform
better to set tough bench mark for others. (Lauring and Klitmøller, 2017) In order to proceed
with the research project various resources are required such as, human capital , finance, tools
and techniques in order to gather relevant information from the public.
Literature Review:
According to Beverly Bird and Carol Kopp, 2019, globalization refers to as
commercializing and distributing goods, jobs, technology and information across the national
boundaries. It creates huge job opportunities and raises economy of the nation (Definition of
globalization, 2019).
According to Smriti Chand, 2019 , recruitment is defined as the best and productive
way to investigate skilled nominee and stimulating them to apply for the post vacant in a firm.
By this huge applicant apply for the post due to which recruitment process become better
(Definition of recruitment, 2019).
According to Diksha S, 2019, Selection refers to as candidate is categorised into two
parts, one nominee who are to be hired for the vacant post and second participant who are not
alligable for the post. By placing right candidate at the right place it raises productivity level
(Definition of selection, 2019).
According to Jack Hallora, 2019, training is the procedure of interchanging the
information in order to resolve an issue emerging in the firm. Training is provided to tackle the
problems in easy way for productive results (Definition of training, 2019).
P3) Preparing Gantt Chart and WBS
Gantt Chart: This is well known by other name which is Harmonogram. Henry Gantt
was the inventor of Gantt Chart in the year 1910-1915. In this case top level management is
aware about the project schedule (staring and deadline). Gantt Chart lists the work to be
performed on vertical axis while, width of the horizontal bar depicts graphs showing duration of
each activity. And horizontal axis showcase time intervals.
4

Work Break Down Structure: WBS is widely adopted by organization as it makes
complex work into simpler task. Here, the task is divided and assigned to the staff members on
the basis of their skills and performance. This directly helps to complete the project in the set
time-frame which is a positive mark for organization. Kraft Food adopts work break down
structure so that staff members can easily achieve the desired set goals and objectives in the cut
throat competitive world. This is the top approach of categorising the whole work into smaller
part that benefit researcher to start and finish the activities in due time frame (Mayfield and
Mayfield, 2017).

P4)
Qualitative Method: Kraft Foods adopts this approach in order to gain productive
outcomes in the global market. Data collected from this method are fresh and new so it incur lot
of time and money. Along with this lot of fund is needed to conduct qualitative method. IT
provides readers quality information which can be easily captured by the readers as there is no
mathematical figure used in it.
Quantitative Method: In this case there is more use of graphs, diagram and numerical
data. It makes the presentation more attractive and readers is able to understand the information
easily. Information might not be reliable in nature as it is collected from secondary source. As
compare to qualitative method less time and money is needed to conduct it (pearson, 2017).
Kraft Foods is adopting qualitative method to gather information from external
environment it provide more reliable, fresh and authentic data for the research findings. Kraft

Factors Explanation in context of your company
Language issue Kraft Food come across language barriers while
globalizing the product across the boundaries. Due to
which targeted customers are not made satisfied with the
type of goods and services offered to them (Gardner and
Dunkin, 2018).
Political conditions To grow the business globally it is important that nations
political conditions is stable in nature. Fluctuation in
political conditions decrease the productivity level of the
workers. This is another barrier which is faced by Kraft
13

Food whole expanding the business at a international level.
Taxes on import goods To meet the international requirements there should be free
flow of goods in terms of import and export. Kraft Food

Factors Explanation in context of your company
Resistance from staffs side Kraft Food's staff members does allow to welcome the new

Lack of funds In an organisation huge fund is required to conduct
training, recruitment and selection approach for better
results. Deficiency of cash amount can resolved by
gathering the money from banks, other financial
institution, friends etc. This is another barrier which is
faced by Kraft Food while improving this criteria (Shenoy
and Aithal, 2017).
Consume more time Training, recruitment and selection approach are more of
timing consuming in nature. Lot of time is required to
perform this activities effectively in Kraft Food. It leads to
slow down the business function as it it take time to fill the
vacant post.
Q3) State several ways through which Kraft Foods can improve recruitment, selection and
training program for employees?

without any discrimination so that best candidate can be
hired for the vacancy. It leads in achievement of set
objectives.

Kraft Food focus on the feedback gathered from the people
and make tactics to work on the loop holes. This act helps
the organization to assure their staff members that they are
valuable asset of the company. It increases the retention
ratio to a large extent .
Keep optimizing your on-boarding
program.
To upgrade the training, recruitment and selection
approach Kraft Food need to work continuously on the
designed on-boarding program. It assist in hiring the most
deserving candidates as per the experience, knowledge etc.

15

P6) Design appropriate recommendations from data interpretation in order to draw meaningful
conclusions
By examining the project assignment it can be summarized that management of Kraft
Foods should improve their recruitment, training and selection approach to create tough bench
mark for others in competitive market place. Additionally, to meet international requirements it
is mandatory to improve HRM practices effectively (Smith and Pitts, 2018). To grow and
flourish continuously in the cut throat competitive world modification in training, recruitment
and selection is must. The different stakeholders of Kraft Food are, creditors, employees,
government, shareholders, unions, suppliers, directors etc. They contribute more in uplifting the
business as compare to rivalry. Proper communication should be there among them so in order to
gain competitive advantages against competitors. Here, are some of the recommendations
which are suggested to top level management of Kraft Foods which are mentioned below:
1. Management of Kraft Foods is suggested that recruitment should be done through
external sources so that fresh candidate can be hired. Also, aptitude test need to be
performed so that their skills and knowledge can be tested accordingly and to asses
weather it is suitable for job vacant.
2. Kraft Foods finance department is recommended to ensure enough time and funds should
be assigned while recruiting and selecting skilled, potential and capable nominee for the

given to the workers of Kraft Foods. This particular act aid in conducting business
activities in appropriate manner as it leads to meet international requirement of the

implementation of modern plant and machinery because workforce training can be taken
place in smooth manner.

that they should either frame unique strategies to improve them or hire experts to conduct
human resource management activities.

points regarding company growth and development.

7. In decision making process employees, unions, suppliers and directors should be
involved in order to take best decision for up-coming plan.
8. Creditors, government, shareholders and unions suggestion should be taken for
improvement in business function.
P7) Reflect on the value undertaking the research to achieve stated objectives and self learning
and performance.
During undertaking and completing the project activities I came to know that which are
my core strengths and in which skills I lack behind or are weak in nature. While undertaking the
assignment strengths identified my me were effective time management skills and has the
ability to take the decisions in adverse conditions for better outcomes. The discovered skills
motivated me to move towards understanding the purpose of the project in systematic order and
therefore completing the task within the time duration. Some of the weak areas discovered are
issues associated with accumulation of correct information from the communicator and
convincing respondents to provide authentic data and information. With the phase of time this
skill will be developed by raising interaction with the clients and the customer and therefore, it
directly assist in raising communication skill. However, reliable and authentic data can be
assembled by selecting the right people for answering the questions. It aid in drawing
meaningful conclusions which helps company to take better decisions for the betterment of both
employees and employer .
As I was a part of research project I have learned several skills related to research such
as, data collection skills, analysis of information from distinguished sources, data analysis skills,
etc. while full-filling the project. The identified skills assist me in the near future so as to
complete research work more accurately and perfectly over time period I will be uplift the skills
. This will assess my assignment work directly or indirectly which will be a positive mark in the
open market place. To nourish this skills I am regularly attending seminars and numerous
personality development sessions. All this to some extent has turned out be fruitful for me as
they have mould my skills to a large extent. By uplifting the weak skills I will assist me in my
career growth in the coming years. Moreover, I will be able create though bench mark for others
in the competitive market place.

`Research has motivated me to complete the task in the set time duration which directly
leads in attainment of set objectives. The topic was interesting so was self motivating myself in
order to accomplish the task effectively and efficiently. Along with this some of my skills and
knowledge in every stage has boosted me up to timely achieve the set standards as per the
specific time period which is a positive sign for the me. Which ultimately resulted in completing
the task in systematic and proper manner. Research has directly or indirectly encouraged me to
wind up the assignment with quality and relevant information(Dany and Torchy, 2017).
Basis Ways to improve skills Benefits gained after
upgrading the weak skills.
Communication skills While undertaking the research
activities I discover that I lack
behind in communication
skills. In order to raise the
weak area I am watching
online video, attending
seminars, attending personality
development classes. All this
has helped to improve my
skills with the phase of time.
As my communication skills
are raised I will be able to
convince team mates to work
on the common goal.
Additionally, capable and
potential staff members are
retained for longer time period.
Research skills I lack behind in research skills
which I came to know while
undertaking the project in
effective manner. To improve
my skills I am watching online
research video. This method
has helped to uplift the skills
to a large extent.
As my skills will be raised I
will be able to provide the
findings more accurate and
authentic in nature in my next
assignment. Here, readers will
be bind for long term with
their findings and information.
This leads in raising goodwill
in intense competitive world.

CONCLUSION
The above discussion conclude that by preparing aims and objective employees of the
firm is motivated to perform better. The discussing scope, time, quality, communication, risk,
cost and resources performance management plan is designed accordingly. This is important to
prepare so that best and quality outcomes can be attained in the competitive market place.
Business administration design Gantt Chart to complete the work in set time duration while,
Work Break Down Structure is adopted by firm in order to simply the complex task into smaller
divisions. Also, staff members are assigned task according to their roles and responsibilities
which lead in attaining productive results in competitive market place. Qualitative and
quantitative method is studied deeply so that best approach can be implemented in the company.
Along with this appropriate tools and techniques are adopted to explain the gathered information.
