LO 1
P1 Background of the study with aim and objective.
Globalisation has lead to the advancement of the all the sectors of the economy in the
environment. Due to the globalisation people are raising there standard of living. Many goods are
available to many people with certain moment of time. Same as in the working environment in
the organisation(Beck, 2018.). The company has to understand the need of the recruitment and
the training development that needs to be taken strategies in the international market. The
company has to put variety of methods and technique so that they can hire a cream variety of the
respondent or the candidate that can make the organisation to achieve its goals and the vision.
The company usually operates at the smaller are and want to give maximum satisfaction to the
customer. With the help of training the skill of the hired candidates are polished and moulted
towards the requirement of the organisation. These all the development is taken by the HR
department in the company who looks after the rules and regulation of the company and
contribute in the productivity of the organisation.
Aim:
“To examine strategies of recruitment, selection, training that can be adopted by firm to meet
international requirements: A study on Nestle”
Objectives
 To understand conceptual framework of globalization
 To evaluate variation in recruitment and training process that need to be adopted by
Nestle to run operations in international market successfully.

 To examine effectiveness of different HRM approaches that may help Nestle in gaining
success in global market
P2 Discuss the project management plan
project management plan refers to the scheduling of all the activities that are going to
take place in the at the time of the implementation of the project. Making a outline of all the
activities that are going to take place in the project tries out to give efficiency and effectiveness
to the project. Everything will be timely managed and the work will be properly delegated to the
each department. It is important in the project management to have the detailed about the cost,
scope, communication, resource planning , quality and time. This is the responsibility of the
mangers to brought up with plan so that the effective communication can be there are project get
finished on time(Steger, 2017.)
Cost – it is considered to be the most important aspect that is required for the working of nay
project. In this factor various other factors are also there which directly or indirectly effect the
cost. So for the execution of the project £100 amount will be required in which the – amount
will be there in miscellaneous cost. The manager will look after the management of the
allocation of the resources in such way that the effective research can take place. The cost of the
project will be around 2500 £ to have the effective training of employee relate to the
development in international market.
Scope – there is high scope for the development of the product through this project. The
company will analysis the requirement of the employees and what are the skill present in the
candidates. The project will help the HR department to have the decision making process
regarding the training and the development of the employees. Through this research project, the
companies HR to how to improve the selection and the recruitment process to meet the
international requirement in the organisation(Baylis, Smith, and Owens,2017.).
Time- the effectiveness of any work can only be measured with the respect of the time. It in one
of the essential part of the research so that everything can be done in time. The mangers will
distribute the time according to the every task, so that the proper scheduling can be done. Proper
scheduling leads to increase the effectiveness of the organisation.
Quality- the manger has to look after the research method that has to followed in the performing
the research so that the efficient data can be collected. The data should be of the quality
respondent as the it will help the HR department to take the decision regarding the

training(Crane, Kawashima, and Kawasaki, 2016.) and the development of the employees. The
valid conclusion can only be drawn if the data is correctly measured and evaluated.
Communication- for the proper conduct of the research the effective communication should be
there in all the members of research. If the proper communication is there then the
misunderstanding will be reduced . All the members and the stakeholders of the company should
correctly pass the information to all the members so that the effective research can be performed.
As to accomplish this research project we will try to communicate with respondent with the help
of questionnaire and through email. During personal meeting interaction with students for taking
suggestion.
Resources- for the successful completion of this research , the requirement of the physical
resources, technical resources and the most important the human resource will be required. The
manger has the responsibility to manage al these resources in the efficient manner(Beck, 2018.).
P3 Work breakdown structure and Gantt chart
Work breakdown structure
This is the one of the technique used y the mangers in the organisation to get the
complex work to be done in short terms. In in the way in which the larger projects are used to be
divided in the smaller parts so that the efficient working to the work can be done. It is the
hierarchical tree structure that has the outline of the project ans then break it down in the smaller
and the managerial portions(Benería, Berik, and Floro, 2015.). due to this effectiveness and the
productivity of the project is increased and it becomes more easier to achieve the goals of the
project management also.

Gantt chart
it is nothing but the visual or the pictorial representation of the of the task that are
scheduled to be performed over period of time(Benería, Berik, and Floro, 2015.). this show that
what is the work that is assigns to the particular day along with the size of the project. In this
representation along with the date of the project how much time is required to complete the
project and by whom it has to be completed is also mentioned in the Gantt chart. The coloured
box of the task assigns makes it more beautiful and attractive . It increase the productivity in the
management of the particular task by the mangers(Steger, 2017.).

policies that are currently prevailing in the nestle organisation. The company is having the need
to change in the HR policies as to make there organisation compatible to compete in the
international market. So the employees in the nestle are not satisfied with the current HR
policies.

the survival in the international market for the longer run. If the company doesn't changes it HR
polices , it will became reluctant for the company to survive against the competitor. Every
company has to become more competitive with the differential in the cost or the differential in
the practices also survive in this global market. So the employees of the organisation want a
serious improvement in the HR policies of the nestle.

Interpretation
As the data interpreters, the nestle organisation is hiring the new employee through the internal
recruitment company is trying to hire the employee within the organisation so that no major
training and development program is given to the employee(Nayak, 2016. ). There way be the
various reason why the nestle is majorly handling the recruitment process through the internal
process. Sue to this HR policy it is difficult to attract new talent to exceed in the global market.

As the data interpretate, the company is using the internal recruitment process in the hiring the
new employee in the organisation. There are many benefit of the internal research in the
organisation, but the majorly consider are the minimization of the search time in the
organisation. The HR personnel find it more cheaper as compare to any other process that to be
acceptable in the company. The maximum benefit to the nestle is that the company is saving time
by recruiting the employee through the internal process(Crane, Kawashima, and Kawasaki,
2016.)

as the data interpreted that the the best method for the delay of the employee in the nestle
organisation can be that the company should opt for the external recruitment. With the help of
the recruitment from the external way, it became more easy for the company to hire the new
talent which can help the organisation to compete in the global market.
LO 3
P5 Research Methodology.
Research methodology is a methodology or process which facilitates any organisation in
practising its operations flawlessly and effectively. The implementation of the process of
research methodology involves using various tools and techniques for practising research. It
helps in addressing each question separately and builds a clear understanding for researcher. The
various tools and techniques used are :-
Research Philosophy :- Research Philosophy can be briefly explained as the different modes and
methodologies used for data collection by the researcher. Two main classification of the research
philosophies are :- positivism philosophy and interpretivism. When hypothesis is formulated for
researching the required topic, it is referred to as positivism. interpretivism on the other hand
involves implementation of various theories and models and focuses mainly on qualitative
aspect. Interpretivism depicts facts and tendencies of human beings. In the present report,
interpretivism approach has been used for conducting research. This has facilitated the researcher

in accumulating qualitative data regarding various strategies that Nestle can adopt for
recruitment and selection on international level(Beck, 2018.).
Research Design :- Research design can be implemented in three different categories namely
descriptive research, causal research and exploratory research. For studying the characteristics of
the sample, the research design that should be used is descriptive research. In this report also,
descriptive research has been used to conduct the study and outlining the methods for conducting
such research(Payne, and Askeland, 2016).. This design will facilitate the researcher helping him
to analyse all the elements related to adoption of different strategies for conducting recruitment
at international levels of the Nestle company. This has assisted in conducting research in lieu
with the objectives with which the research is to be carried out(Pieterse, 2019.).
Research Approach :- Under research approach, the researcher has to determine the manner in
which the research has to be conducted. There are two different methods for conducting the
research namely inductive and deductive approach. Deductive approach is used for quantitative
analysis of data where hypothesis id formulated for conducting research activity. Under
inductive method instead of formulation of hypothesis, qualitative models and theories are
implemented. This is used for assisting qualitative research. In this report, the most suitable
approach is inductive approach as the researcher is collecting and analysing facts rather than
figures and hence the researcher has used inductive method.
Data Collection :- Collection of those facts and figures which are required for conducting the
research are the crucial elements in conducting the research successfully which further assist in
formulating the relevant conclusions. The two methods are primary method and secondary
method of data collection. Primary method involves those methods through which the researcher
himself collects all the data using interview or questionnaire method technique. Secondary data
on the other hand involves collection of those facts and figures which have already been
researched and published in books, journals etc. in the present, both secondary and primary data
has been used for collecting the relevant data(Beck, 2018.).
Sampling :- Sampling means selecting those individual out of the entire population which are
relevant in conducting the research successfully. These individuals collectively are referred to as
sample(Beck, 2018.). It is the most crucial part in conducting the research which gives the result
that is required and thus the selection should be relevant and precise. Here, in this report
researcher has used random sampling method for data collection which has removed any

biasness on part of the researcher. In this report, the sample size taken is of 20 managers
managing different departments in Nestle. This will help in collecting different view points
regarding recruitment(Payne, and Askeland, 2016). strategies of Nestle.
Data Analysis :- To formulate the relevant conclusions; it is necessary to conduct a systematic
study which involves analysis of all the relevant data after it has been collected by the researcher.
In this report, the researcher for presentation of information in a relevant and required manner,
he has used thematic technique of data analysis. Thematic analysis is basically analysis of the
information by creation of different and relevant themes by breaking down the information
collected in smaller and different parts and then formulating tables and charts for the researcher
so that he can carry out the interpretation in the correct manner and make recommendations.
Ethical Consideration :- For carrying out the research and to achieve the goals stated in the
research objective, the researcher must keep in mind the ethical consideration to be made. For
analysing and identifying the correct strategies that can be used for recruitment and selection at
international levels, the researcher while collecting data must not force the individuals in the
sample size for giving any particular opinion or prioritize one factor or aspect over another. It
also involves declaration from those individuals that they were not manipulated and they
provided the data at their free will ad consent of the researcher.
P6 Finding and recommendations
As from the above report it can be concluded the the nestle has to pay more emphasis in
changing its HR policies so that they can compete in the global world. The company has to take
the overview if its perform and change the strategy of the raining and development for the longer
run. The company has to look after the training and the development strategy so that how they
can improve the working of there efficient employees.
The recruitment department should look after the different qualities for the candidate that
will help them to understand the international market and increase the efficiency of the
organisation.
LO 4
P7 dicuss the learning and the outcome of the the research report.
From the above research report I have come to know how much it is difficult for the
successful organisation like nestle to compete in the the world of the globalisation. In this
research report I have come across the various research design and the evaluation process for the

conduction of the successful research report. There were various new concept and ides that I
have across the in this research report. With the help of this research report, I can identify the pro
and cons of the different training, development and recruitment process. Through this research
report my technical and the presentation skill has been improved . I have across the various
respondent at the time of having the primary research and know about the different perception of
the different respondent regarding the particular topic. My interpersonal skills also come to be
very interactive I am know more confident in the working foe such research report. In this
research report various analysis ha s been done according to what are the demand of the current
global world and how the one person can exceed in this global environment I the longer run. I
have also come to know what were the drawbacks for the nestle top complete in the global
world.
CONCLUSION
After going through the research conducted in above report, it can be concluded that
Nestle needs to expand its recruitment policies at international level. They are presently
conducting research at internal level and their practices are restricted in the UK. For
globalisation of the firm and expanding their activities at an international level, the recruiters
need to train employees at international levels and train them accordingly. This report also
concluded that, for employees and the company to excel at international level, it is necessary for
the HR managers at Nestle to train their employees about inter cultural values and the societal
norms in which they are operating. They should focus on hiring those personnels which can
easily adapt themselves with the changing cultural values and can understand the requirement of
the customers. The lack of adopting international measures for recruitment has hindered the
growth of the company in expansion at international levels so appropriate training should be
given to the employees along with modification in the recruitment process. This report also
emphasized upon the research methodology and the various tools adopted for conducting the
research so that appropriate strategies can be formulated for recruitment and selection strategy at
global level.
