main use of the management of the project in authentic way for planning and documenting the
planning according to the assumptions, facilitates and decisions when the project has been
approved (Kerzner, 2017).
Scope:- it is generally a way to gather and collect the information and data that is
basically determined to be scope in the project management plan. Research scope is so much
wide because when the information has been collected at the time of conducting this research has
been useful in so many areas in present and future. Scope of the research is very much helpful in
academic sector where the students can learn so many things from that and gaining knowledge
about the project and it is useful in future for conducting the research on same topic (Meredith,
and et.al., 2017).
Risk:- Risk is usually uncertain and includes many risks has been occurred due to the
uncertainties. It is important for researcher to analyse the risk which has been occurred at the
time of conducting this research because the occurrence of the risk directly affect the research
project. Thus, lots of risk has been occurred such as theft of data, physical injuries and lack of
money etc.
Communication:- It plays a very important role on managing the project activities plan
where having and effective communication helps in collecting and gathering data and

information about the topic and also helps in communicating with others. There are so many
tools & techniques has been used for communicating such as messengers, Emails, telephones etc
(Fleming and Koppelman, 2016).
Time:- It is considered to be one of the important element of the research because it is
very important to utilize time and use it in very effective manner. It is necessary for the
researcher to make an schedule. If the time has not consumed then it becomes very difficult to
complete the research on time. Research has been completed with the reliability and viability
when time has been managed.
Cost:- cost is essential for conducting this research and it is only possible when the
researcher will make an effective budget for that so the research has been completed in effective
manner. Cost is very useful in data collection and data analysis. The cost which has been
required is $5000 for completing this project (Heagney, 2016).
Resources:- Resources is major thing in conducting this research and there are so many
resources has been used for this research and scholar as well such as internet, equipments, books,
computers, laptops etc (Kerzner, 2018).

P4 Research methodology
It includes the appropriate planning which is adapted by research to verify their research
work and examined various facts and figure to get the appropriate and accurate data (Pramanik,
Mondal and Haldar, 2019). It further elaborates with the following methods such as11 Research types: It varies from different various types of research method but the
researcher had to choose the appropriate study to further forward their research activity. It
mainly designs with two methods of research such as Qualitative and Quantitate method.
Thus, in this researcher had applied the Qualitative method to carry their research work.

By adapting this method thye can conduct survey, interviews and also preprepared
questionnaire to carry their research into better scale.11 Research Philosophies: In this method various philosophies are used in context of ideas,
thoughts, expression, beliefs and undertaking of any data which can give an appropriate
review of their selected topic (Polonsky and Waller, 2018). Thus, in these philosophies it
further interpreted with two methods such as Positivism and Interpretivism. In this type
of methods researcher had used the interpretivism method to interpret their research and
also by this method they can interpret the collected data and get more accurate results.11 Research Approach: It carries with various planned activities which is used by
researcher to carry their research work in effective way. It mainly describes with two
methods of approach such as inductive and deductive. Thus, here researcher had applied
the inductive type of research to gather more information and data from internal sources.
By applying this method there are more propionate chances to get the accurate
information and they can differentiate their research to some authors.11 Research design: This method is used to make the research authentic and different from
other research and thus they can use various techniques to make it differentiated from
other (Larson and Gray, 2017). It examines two methods of research such as Descriptive
and experimental and here researcher had applied the descriptive method to carry the
research by gathering the information in full description.11 Data collection: By applying this method data are to be collected form various sources. It
includes two method from which data are to be collected such as primary and secondary
sources. Thus, researcher had applied both the sources to gather information as primary
method is adapted to gather information from original sources on contradictory secondary
method is used to collect data from other sources which is not primary.11 Data analysis: By adapting this method, the data are to further inspected, analysed and
organised them, in systematic manner to get more accurate results (Kerzner and Kerzner,
2017). It mainly consists of two methods such as thematic and non thematic method.
Thus, researcher had applied the thematic method to conduct the research and by this
method they can organise the data on the bases of theme. By this method they can
organise there data in more appropriate way and make it presentable.

11 Sampling: Sampling method is taking into account when there are higher number of
population and the researcher had to gather data from all such employees. Thus, they use
the random sampling method to carry their research activity (Mackey and Gass, 2015). In
this research, researcher gather data from 20 managers of Nestle company by examining
their thoughts regarding the selection and training procedure of staff members to meet
their global level.11 Ethical consideration: Ethics are such Norms and instructions which researcher by
taking care of certain ethical norms which is examined by government by collecting data
from such places which are restricted or had to take special permission to inspect such
matter. Researcher cannot disclose any such information without taking approval of
disclosure by employees and company. They had to take certain care of the public by not
hurting them by their thoughts and question and also not torture by giving any such
judgement which affects their health issues.

not understandable with such language than it results in facing barriers in their learning and there
skills are limited to their scope only.
