It offers wide range of products such as baby food, confectionery, breakfast cereals, pet foods,
ice cream and so on which operates across the globe in an effectual manner. In this study, it
encompasses development of project management plan, work breakdown structure and Gantt
Chart. Moreover, data collection and its interpretation and based on that provide suitable
recommendation for improving overall performance of company in a better way.
TASK 1
P1 Identify project aim and objectives
In this modern era of world, the term globalisation plays an integral role in all aspect of
business operation or function as it helping them to enhance their market size or share in an
effectual or expeditious manner without any barriers or restriction on trade. Globalisation is
concerned with those process which enable countries or economies to interacting with each other
by transferring or exchanging ideas, technologies, strategies for an accomplishment of pre
determined goal within prescribed time period (Clinton and Whisnant, 2019). Along with this, it
render wide range of benefits to organisation like free movement of goods or services, no trade
barriers, increased access to technology, greater opportunities and many more that aid them to
enhance their profit margin in an amended mode. In context of Nestle, it is well known brand

Research Question
 What is the importance of employee's recruitment, selection and training for
multinational company?
 What are the different strategies for improving recruitment, selection and training of staff
within Nestle?
 What is the importance of trained employees for Nestle in achieving international
requirement?
P2 Development of project management plan
PMP is a detailed document which is utilised within organisation to describe each and
every phase of project in order to accomplish pre determined goal or objective in an trenchant
and expeditious manner (Crane and Matten, 2016). Moreover, it comprises various sort of
2

strategies and plans like scope, schedule, cost, quality, communication, risk, procurement so that
Nestle can complete their task in an appropriate way by gathering accurate or valid documents in
order create project more impressive and authentic with less cost. Henceforth, the investigator of
Nestle company takes an initiative to design effective project management plan that is discussed
below:
Cost: This component is concerned with those aspect which occur during processing of
project or task. However, it is regarded as one of the main element which enable an investigator
to accomplish their task in a given time frame without any hindrances. Hence, in order to make
an effective or authentic report, researcher of Nestle require certain amount of money that enable
them to fulfil its requirement in a better manner (Le Roy and Fernandez, 2015). Thus,
investigator evaluated the cost which incur while conducting an investigation in a wider range
are shown beneath:
Activities Amount
Research equipment 60
Research material 30
Travel 70
Total 160
Time: This feature is relates with the duration which a particular project takes for the
completion in a better way. However, Nestle researcher makes an effort to examine the condition
of market as well as analyse the time for finishing the given task in an efficient manner.
Henceforth, as per investigator view, it has been analysed that to complete this project, it will
take three months (Deresky, 2017).
Quality: This element is directly connected with an image or representation of an
establishment within competing industry. In context of Nestle, maintaining high and best quality
of products or service enable them to acquire best position within competitive industry in an
innovative and creative style. In addition to this, the focal point of researcher is to render the

improve their overall performance in an trenchant manner (Kendrick, 2015).
Risk: This factor is one of the major criteria which every organisation face in achieving
goal or objective in an efficient manner without nay obstacle. However, in relation to this report
that is based on Nestle, an investigator undergoes through several kinds of problems or
difficulties like disputes or misunderstanding among manpower that impacted the entire process
