Topic- How do multinational companies improve the recruitment, selection and training of
their employees to meet international requirements?
INTRODUCTION
Multinational firm are agent of globalisation as they affected by it in both good and bad
terms. Globalisation is the competition in international market. Theretofore, globalisation is
process that aids to develop internation or start operating business activities on an international
scale (Charles, Schmidheiny, and Watts, 2017). It is organisation that can operate their business
activities in more than one home country. Thus, provides access to customers in order to give
more than one opportunity to develop and cater product and services to full fill the needs of
potential customers.
The present report is based on business activities of Nestle, it is global leading brand
engaged in clothing, furniture, beauty, wine and grocery products etc.
Furthermore, this report is based on to identify the ways that supports to have
improvement in process of recruitment, selection and training of their employees to meet
international requirements. Thus, aim and objectives needs to be framed in order to cover the
topic of multinational firm to improvize recruitment, selection and training process. Therefore,
research methodologies are needed to be selected in order to conduct the depth analysis and
interpretation.
P1 Produce aims and objectives for chosen topic specified in project.
MNC's operates on global level provides number of product and services to their
customers. Globalisation is process that termed out as integration and interaction among people,
companies and government at the worldwide level (Crane and Matten, 2016). This is helpful that
allows the movement of money and people that needed to keep economic globalisation working.
The process of globalisation mainly based on four aspects as migration and movement of people,
dissemination of knowledge, trade and transactions etc.
Thus, number of factors are there that can influence process of globalisation that aids to
have improvement in transportation, technology, competition and capital flows etc. It aids to
have enhancement in increased level of investment ( G5 benefits of international expansion,
2017). Thus, aims and objectives are formulating in the following manner as-
Aim-
1

To investigate the ways to bring improvement in recruitment, selection, training if
employees to meet international requirements. With references to case study of Nestle.
Objectives-
1. To articulate the affect of globalisation on multinational firms.
2. To identify the positive and negative impact of globalisation on multinational corporation
as Mark & Spenser.
3. To explore the challenges of globalizing on multinational corporation to meet
international requirements.
4. To recommend the suggestive measures to improvised recruitment, selection and training
of employees to meet international requirements.
P2 Define project management plan that covers cost, scope, time, quality and communication.
The project management plan includes practice of initiating, planning, executing and
controlling the work in order to meet specific goals and objectives. It is established in order to
ensure the successful completion of project. This is project management plan that Thus, project
management plan defined in following manner as-
Project scope management- It is based on topic that aids to identify the ways to improve the
recruitment, selection and training of their employees to meet international requirements. The
main scope of this research project is to meet the international requirement (Davies, 2016). Thus,
PMP will mainly focus over to draw aims and objective so that entire report can be conducted
effectively.
Cost- It is crucial to estimate the total cost of undertaking the entire research project. Thus, cost
of man, material, labour all are needed to be covered so that activities can be carried out in better
manner. Thus, direct and indirect expenses are needed to be covered so that all activities can be
carried out effectively.
Time- It is one of crucial component that aids to accomplish the task activities effectively. Thus,
each activities in research report must be allotted a particular deadline. In addition to it, all things
can be done in better and proper manner (.Matveev and et.al., 2016). The following things must
be identified as due dates, budget and identifying variables etc.
Resources- The number of resources aids to carry research activities effectively. Thus, list of
things will be covered of labour, equipment and material. It is must be ensure that all resources
2

are must be identified to reach the activities in better. The all things are needed to find first so
that it aids to avoid planning conflicts.
Communication- The proper and systematic communication must be maintained in order to
carry out the whole process effectively (Neubauer and Lank, 2016). Thus, all team member of
the project must have proper communication about the activities so it can lead to perform
business functions effectively. Thus, stakeholder to the project must have proper idea about the
all undertaking of project.
Risk management- It is systematic term that aids to develop the process in more efficient
manner. By managing the risk associated with project aids to conduct the all activities in
effective mode.
P3 Define work breakdown structure and Gantt chart to provide appropriate time-frames.
This is method of organizing and completing the whole work in a project. It is termed out
as deliverable oriented breakdown that divides the whole project into smaller components. Thus,
it aids to conduct the whole activities effectively and its defined as body of knowledge that
defines work breakdown structure as deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of work
( Venkateswar and Bandyopadhyay, 2016). It aids to conduct the activities in more manageable
components. Thus, its defined in following manner as-

Gantt chart- This is graphical tool that aids to show activities or task that needs to be performed
against time (Waddell,2017). It is visual presentation of horizontal pie chart. This defined as-
P4 Description on small scale research to cover aims and objectives.
This term is defined as procedure that aids to collect information and data for the purpose
of making decision. Thus, it defined systematic gathering of data. In addition to it, research
methodologies defined in following manner as-
Research philosophies- It is belief that aids to gathered, analysed and used. Thus, philosophy to
the research classified into categories as ontology, epistemology and axiology etc. Under it,
epistemology divide into term as positivism, realism and interpretive. Therefore, it is vast topic
and has to be defined all things in greater details. In this, interpretivism aids to determine to
interpret the elements of study into depth manner. On the other hand, positivism philosophies is
based on to gather the investigation that depends on experiments and survey.

Research approach- This term is defined as plan and procedure that relates with the broad
assumption of detailed method that is inclusive of data collection, analysis and interpretation.
Thus, research approach classified into categories as deductive and inductive approach. Under
this, inductive approach is concerned with the generation of new theory that aids to analyse and
emerged from the data. On the hand, deductive approach defined as aimed and testing of theory.
In order to determine the implication of globalisation over multinational corporation, the
researcher has used inductive approach.
Research strategy- This is termed out as step by stem plan of action that aids to provide proper
direction to topic of research. It enables the researcher to conduct the research activities in proper
and adequate manner. Therefore, it helps to produce the quality result and detailed reporting.
Thus, research strategies defined in categories as descriptive, exploratory, survey and number of
observational traits etc. In order to carry out the implication of globalisation in order to meet
international requirements the researcher has used descriptive technique so that depth
information can be gathered and analysed.
Data collection- This term is defined as process of gathering and measuring information on
varied variables of interest. Thus, accurate data collection is very essential to integrate the
accurate picture of the whole scenario. It aids to collect the information from relevant source.
The process of data collection defined in manner as primary and secondary. In this, primary
method defined as to collect first hand information by the use of survey techniques. In order to
access the impact of globalised over international corporation the researcher has used primary
technique. On the other hand, secondary method will be helpful to collect the information with
help of books, online articles and journals etc.
Sampling- This is technique that aids to conduct the research activities effectively. This is
defined as statistical procedures in which predetermined number of observation can be taken
with help of selecting the particular size of respondents. Thus, sampling is classified into factors
as random, stratified, cluster and systematic. In this, researcher has used sample random
technique with sample size of 30 respondents as employees of Mark & Spenser. In this,
probabilistic techniques has been used so that information can be gathered effectively.
Data analysis- the data analysis termed out as process that aids to inspecting, cleansing,
transforming and modelling data with help of discovering useful information, informing
conclusion and also support in decision making. Thus, there are differed method conducting data
6

as qualitative and quantitative. In addition to it, qualitative technique will be adopted in order to
discover the information with help of having better level of understanding and interpretation and
for this researcher has used thematic analysis. Furthermore, quantitative technique will be
adopted in order to get investigation with use of collected and observed numerical data.
Ethics- It is principle that aids to have systematizing, defending and recommending the concepts
of right and wrong. In order to disclose the information prior consent must be taken from the
participants to research. With help of maintaining the confidentiality of data the research study
can be conducted in better and effective manner.
