resources, technology, labour, etc. This is the most prominent aspect because it helps in
expansion of business. The company which is to be considered for this report is Nestle which has
commenced its business from the year 1866 and deals in confectionery, baby products, dairy
products, chocolates, etc. This research will concentrate on explaining the project objectives and
aims. It will further emphasis on considering the important elements which plays crucial role in
research (Gamage, 2014). Furthermore, the concept of work breakdown structure and Gantt chart
will be explained. The research will explain the qualitative and quantitative research methods
and sources of data collection. The interpretation of the collected data will be elaborated in order
to draw conclusions. Later part of the report will concentrate on performance review and
recommendations.

Nestle.OVERVIEW
Globalisation helps in sharing the knowledge which further helps in business expansion
and growth. With the different uses of globalisation, the company are able to improve the
recruitment, selection and training approaches that further helps in improving the requirements
of the international candidate who are able to meet the business objectives and goals (Foroughi
and. et. al., 2016). The concept of recruitment is concerned with recruiting a candidate who has
applied for the job such that they can work effectively in order to attain business goals and
objectives. The process of selection is important because in multinational companies, there are
several other requirements of candidate are needed like flexibility to adopt the different culture,
languages, etc. The training is the concept which helps in providing the proper guidance to the
employees so that they can work effectively in order to achieve the business goals and objectives
and international requirements of the multinational businesses.

 To determine the importance of improving recruitment, selection and training of
employees in multinational companies like Nestle.
 To study the approaches through which the companies can improve the recruitment,
selection and training of their employees so that they meet the international requirements.
RESEACRH QUESTIONS
 Do you know about the concept of recruitment, training and selection?

P2. Aspects of project management plan
Project management plan is concerned with developing the roadmap or path through which
the business can be guided and proceeded in an effective and efficient manner. Every business
has some definite plans which provides guidance and direction so that the set objectives can be
attained. Therefore, such plans are developed in written form and the company reviews the plan
regularly in order to know that the set business plans are going as per the expectations and if any
deviation occurs then it is to be modified. Therefore, there will be various aspects which will be
considered in order to develop the project management plan and they are discussed below:
 Cost: The term cost is related to define the estimated cost because every business activity
and planning is required to set the estimated budget and cost which will be required to
complete the task (Ekwoaba, Ikeije and Ufoma, 2015). Therefore, in Nestle, the company
will require the estimated cost of £11000 and investigator will also need cost so that they
can carry on the daily business expenses like travelling, stationary, etc. and such cost will
be £1000.
 Time: The time is one of the most important element because every research is
conducted for some specific purpose and once the purpose is accomplished then the
research is said to be finished (Haberfeld, 2016). Therefore, the time required by Nestle

in order to complete the research is 12 weeks whereas, the time needed by investigator in
order to complete the research is 6 weeks.
 Scope: The scope of the project will be concerned with devising the results which will be
achieving after completing the research (Doyle and Locke, 2014). The scope of Nestle
will be defined by the results attained while scope of investigator is concerned with
completing the research effectively and efficiently.
 Quality: The quality of the project is related to the performance and measurement
criteria through which the project can be evaluated. Therefore, for Nestle the quality will
be concerned with the form of reliability and authenticity while for the investigator, the
quality will relate to the fairness, and honesty of the data collected.
 Communication: No project can successfully attain the aims and objectives without
effective communication (Landers and Schmidt, 2016). It is the most important concept
in the project management plan. The Nestle will need communication tools like
presentations, seminars, meetings while investigator will need telephone, internet
connections, etc. in order to effectively communicate.
 Risk: The aspect of risk is related to the threat which is associated in the way of
completing the business goals and objectives. Therefore, the risk which is stick with the
Nestle is loss of privacy, secrecy, theft, etc. while investigator will face the risk of unfair
information, poor climatic conditions, etc.
 Resources: The concept of resources is related to the necessary materials and equipments
through which Nestle can effectively accomplish the research (Dittmar, 2015). Therefore,
Nestle will needs resources like effective labour, finances, time, etc. while investigator
will need resources like time, communication skills, etc.
From the above discussed various aspects of the project management plan, it has been analysed
that in such elements will be determined properly, then the business organisation can complete
the research effectively by meeting all the respective objectives and goals.
P3. Work break down structure and Gantt chart
Work break down structure
The WBS is the tree hierarchy structure which helps in dividing the larger task into
smaller one such that such work can be easily assigned to the employees in order to accomplish
the business goals and objectives (Dany, and Torchy, 2017). By adopting this in work and

actions, the organisation will be able to devise the scope of the project more accurately and
specifically in an organised manner. Thus, the easy allocation of resources will be done by
breaking the work into smaller portions and furthermore proper control and monitoring will be
done so that if any problem arises then quick actions can be taken.
Gantt chart
The use of Gantt chart is very important in conducting the research or projecting a plan
because this helps in assigning the time for each activity which takes place in the project plan.
This was developed by Henry Gantt and the main purpose of this is to set the start and finish date
against each planning activity (Cascio, 2015). This is the representation in the form of graph.
Therefore, this will help in proper planning and scheduling of the projects. It will further help in
giving the brief structure of the all the activities which will taken into the project. The
information of each activity with their relative start and finish date is provided in a visual form.

TASK2
P4. Qualitative and quantitative research
Qualitative research: Under this kind of investigation, the investigator assess the human
behaviour. In this, the study is related to the underlying evidences, opinions, thoughts and
motivations (Armstrong, Landers and Collmus, 2016). In this, the researcher will focus on
learning about the in depth and detailed of the respective data and information. The emphasis is
put on gathering information through communication and open ended questions.
Quantitative research: Under this research, the investigator will focus on gathering the
information in form of numeric terms and statistics. This is because, it will help in providing the
more descriptive results of the collected data and information. In this research, the researcher is
able to maintain the objectivity. Thus, the results which will be drawn are easily verifiable and
justifiable.
Source of data collection
 Primary data collection: Under primary data collection method, the information which
will be assembled by the investigator will be gathered for the first time (Abraham and. et.
al., 2015). Such information were not collected previously and the investigator has
gathered it from various sources like questionnaire, survey, etc.

 Secondary data collection: Under this, the investigator collects the information from the
secondary sources and uses such data which has already been collected. The sources of
such collected data includes internet, newspaper, magazines, journals, etc.
Therefore, in this investigation, the investigator has used the qualitative research method
and the data collection method adopted for this research is primary data collection method in
which questionnaire has been used. Furthermore, the sampling size undertaken for this report is
30 respondents and they can be stakeholders, employees, etc.
