LITERATURE REVIEW
Concept of training, recruitment and selection
As per the thought of Crane and Matten, (2016), it has been said that training refers to the
process where managers enhance the performance as well as efficiency of employees by
providing them guidance. It is one of the most effective method through which management
team of the organisation provide various growth opportunities through which they can growth at
both personal as well as professional level. In case of selection and recruitment process,
managers hire best and suitable candidate for their organisation so that they can accomplish their
goals and objectives effectively. In addition to this, it is also very essential to provide training
sessions on a regular basis so that they can easily adapt changing environment while they meet
their requirements at international marketplace.

Different training, recruitment and selection methods adopted by Nestle to fulfil their
requirements
According to the view point of Huntington, (2018) , it has been identified that
organisational performance is mainly depends on the effectiveness of employees as both is inter
related with each other. It is very essential to have effective employees within organisation so
that they can attain organisational goals and objectives within stipulated time frame. Apart from
this, it has been said that management team use different methods in order to select, hire, recruit
and appoint skilled candidates for the organisation. Some of these method includes online
recruitment, campus placement, internal recruitment and many more. Candidates who are
interested in the job profile can send their resume through emails and grab different
opportunities.
Various issues faced by managers of Nestle while given them training sessions to the
employees to fulfil their international requirements
According to the thought of Dutta and Bose, (2015), it has identified that there are
ample number of issues which is faced by management team of organisation while they
provide training to their staff members in order to meet their international requirements. It is
very important for the management team to provide training and development sessions on a
regular basis so that they can gain various opportunities for their future development. But
there are some issues which affects the whole method of providing training. It includes
different perception of individuals, technological barriers, environmental differences and so
on. These barriers might affect the performance and effectiveness of business organisation.
P2 Project management plan
PMP is basically a written document which is confidential. It is a kind of blueprint of
what all activities will be undertaken during a year. It consists of different strategies which will
be used to execute project. This type of document is very helpful in building a project as it helps
other teammates to know what work has to be done and in what manner (Crane and Matten,
2016). In this investigation, researcher has made project management plan so that there is
efficiency in executing it. Important elements of this Project management plan is listed below:
 Scope: This research has a wide scope. As industry will get a new direction with the
help of this plan. Apart from the scope there are some limitations of this research which
need to be consider by the investigator, it includes limited amount of money and time

which affect the whole result of the research. Every project has a particular scope which
is basically reason behind existence of that project. Researcher defines scope of every
project before starting of that project. With the assistance of research scope, investigator
will be able to know about the effectiveness of present research topic. Along with this,
scope of the research is very wide which provide various opportunities to the
organisation in order to expand their business functions at international marketplace.
 Cost: Financial resource is very important for every project. Without it no activity can
be successfully executed. Different types of costs are involved in every project with the
help of which researcher will be able to conduct the present investigation in an effective
manner. Such as cost for operations, cost involved for other resources these all have to
be calculated before starting of project. So that sources from where such funds can be
arranged are also determined. In the present report, overall cost of the research is
£40,000 in order to conduct the research in an effective manner. Apart from this,
£60,000 requires by the company in order to adopt all the recommendations in an
effective manner. If the overall cost of the research will be increase it will affect the
outcome of the research in a negative manner. Therefore, in order to monitor the budget
in an effective manner there must be use of appropriate tools and techniques.
 Quality: Quality is one of distinguishing feature. Decision related to strength and
capacity is made. All different decisions have a impact on whole project's quality.
Hence, each decision is crucial from point of quality of actual output. Along with this, it
is also very essential to maintain the quality of information gather by investigator in
order to conduct the research effectively. It is required by the investigator that they have
to maintain the quality of information in an effective and ethical manner. Along with
this, management team of the company need to maintain the quality of products and
services offered by the organisation. It is said that all the information gathered by
researcher is from authentic sources which ensure that the quality of data is high and an
investigator can easily rely on the collected information. Also, the gathered information
is collected from valid and authentic sources which provide assistance in attaining the
result of the research.
 Communication: Communication is very important for maintaining effective
coordination in all activities. Information must be properly transmitted between team

members in an effective manner so that they can produce positive outcome within
stipulated time frame. It is very essential for the researcher to adopt effective policies in
order to communicate with their members so that they collect required information in an
effective manner. Along with this, managers of the company need to communicate with
their staff members and stakeholders on a regular basis with the help of email, telephone
and so on. Also by conducting a meeting all the findings as well as recommendations
will be presented properly in front of their stakeholders.
 Time: There is a start and end time specified for every project. It is very important to
decide a particular time for completion of activities in a project management plan. all
activities in every project management plan (Deresky, 2017). Require some time. This
varies with every different activity. In this project researcher has decide a time of around
3 months so that they can effectively conduct the research. In context of the chosen
organisation, managers need to develop some strategies so that they can attain their goals
and objectives in an effective manner within given time frame. If present research will be
not conducted within given time frame then the overall outcome affect in a negative
manner. Therefore, it is essential to divide all the task so it will become easy to achieve
also it is very important to finish the whole research within given time frame so that
required outcome will be produced.
 Resources: Without resources no activity can take place. At every stage resources are
needed in terms of capital, labour, land and many more according to their requirement.
In this present research financial, technological and human resource are major resources

TASK 2
P4 Quantitative and qualitative
A research methodology is a specific techniques effectively utilised by analyst for
identifying, selecting, process and analysing informations about particular problems. Basically
there are two type of research tools that is qualitative and quantitative, for collecting raw
information. Thereafter, these tools are found to be effective, to identify alternative solutions for
specific issues in a systematic manner.
Primary Data: The primary (new) information is been collected from various sources
such as focused groups, personal interviews, observations and many more. The analyst uses
questionnaire for critically analysing issues and drawing conclusion (Dutta and Bose, 2015).
With the help of this method, investigator will be able to collect new and fresh information for
conducting the research in an effective manner and produce positive outcome. The disadvantage

of using primary data is investigator have to focused on “why, what, how and when to collect the
information”. Also, majorly analyst have to face various barrier such as ineffective data
gathering technique, ensuring high quality information and high cost required for collecting
informations.
Secondary Data: The secondary data is defined as informations utilised from previous
source. The analyst found secondary sources quick and easy techniques, for drawing immediate
result on particular problems. The source of collecting secondary sources are government
publications, books, journals, articles and internal records. The secondary data is found to be
economical in terms of cost effectiveness. The utilisation of secondary information totally
depends on need of investigators. Also, there could be chances that data gathered are not
accurate.
In the context of present research, investigator chose primary method for collecting
information and data for which they select questionnaire method. With the assistance of this
method, investigator will be able to produce positive outcome.
Qualitative Research: The qualitative data is scientific method of observations that
majorly focuses on gathering non-numerical data (Glukhov, Ilin and Levina, 2015). The
qualitative research have given emphasis on “why, where, what, when and whom”, while
analysing the issues. This type of research are utilised by academic institutions, for making
reports and thesis. Also, it help investigator for observing human behaviour among populations.
The investigators uses likert scale for measuring qualitative data, for coming to conclusion of
study.
Quantitative Research: The quantitative data are defined as collecting numerical data
that are utilised in preparing graphical charts. The quantitative research focused on “how many
and how much”, for estimating the proportion of responses. The statistical analysis is been
formulated through mathematical computations. There are tow main type of quantitative data
such as continuous and discrete data. The continuous data defined as values resulted in fractions
or decimals. On other hand, discrete data is defined as having finite number of possible values.
The analyst uses nominal and ordinal scale for measuring quantitative data.
In the context of present research, investigator chose quantitative data for collecting
information and data along with qualitative data. With the assistance of this method, investigator
will be able to produce positive outcome.
