Introduction
This report will focus on the economic, cultural and ethical effect of globalization on the
production line up of Renault group, which is a French automobile car manufacturer company.
Globalization of production of products of any organization will affect that industry
economically, culturally and ethically. According to some data, in 2009 Renault was the ninth
most company around of world in car manufacturing. This report also focuses and will explain
how globalization can affect different departments of Renault positively. Discussing Renault
more deeply, they have started their manufacturing engines in 1903. According to a report,
Renault is controlling a total of 43% of stocks in Nissan motors established in Japan. Culture
plays an important role in production units of particular countries. This report will focus mainly
on how culture in different aspects affects Renault productions due to globalization.

Project aims and objectives of this report in the context of Renault motors.
Appointed as the project manager, this report is needed to evaluate the effect of globalization on
Renault production units and another department in the company. This Aim of this report is to
evaluate the effect of globalization in the context of cultural, economic and ethical positively.
Objectives of this business project:
 To investigate the cultural and ethical changes in the production of Renault motors.
 How globalization affects this organization due to a change in culture from one country
to another.
 To investigate through qualitative and quantitative small-scale research, by the data
collected through questionnaire and survey which can serve the project topic.
 To evaluate how globalization is affecting the Renault motors productions unit due to
cultural, economic and ethical changes (Frigant, 2017).
A project management plan that covers cost, scope, time, quality, communication, risk, and
resources.
In managing a business project, effectively planning and execution of the same is very important,
from the initial stage to the final stage of the project.
Cost: The cost of research is the most important and integrated term affecting the project by
factors like scope, research, collected data through primary and secondary sources, approaches
used in the research and some other important tasks involved in the project. To make a budget
for the project, these tasks described above should be properly conducted and evaluated so that a
more accurate budget for the project can be formulated.
Project tasks Cost in Pounds

Research and development for the project 1200
Data collection process 400
Resource procurement 1000
Controlling of the project 1350
Other tasks 250
Total cost 4200

Scope: The scope of the project is totally depended on the objectives of the project. The scope of
the project is also dependent on the cost of the project, hence scope should remain the same, if
not cost would be affected.
Time: A time frame is required to work efficiently. This project is totally dependent on the
globalization and its effect on the production unit of Renault; hence time frame should be
defined which can analyses how the production of Renault motors changes with the change in
culture, economic and ethics involved in the organization.
Quality: The quality and accuracy of the result is very important. In the small-scale research,
qualitative and qualitative research, qualitative research is more accurate in comparison with the
qualitative research method.
Communication: The positive effect of globalization can be exponentially increasing with
healthy communication between different departments and hierarchy of Renault motors.
Risks: Risk can be evaluated related to project where production unit may come across certain
issues, which a good project management plan can disintegrate. The cultural, economic and
ethical barriers would be discussed in this project report.
Resources: Resources are very important for stable and efficient running of the research report,
resources such as technology, money, human resources, etc. would be used.

Comprehensive project management plan and milestone schedule.
The milestone scheduled to reach the objective of the project, milestone schedule involves
activities which are required for the evaluation of the data collected through primary and
secondary purposes. The purpose of small-scale research is to analyses the questionnaire used in
this business project to develop a conclusion. The project management plan is made and focused
mainly to analyses and evaluate the answers of the sample of respondents used in the research
over the objective of this project which is to evaluate the effect to the production of Renault due
to globalization.
Critically evaluate the project management process.
Irrespective of the size of the company, it is very difficult to manage small or large projects in
any organization. Renault motors which is one of the largest car manufacturing company, have
many small and large projects scheduled and it is difficult to manage such projects. Being a big
organization in the automobile industry, it is quite difficult to analyze and evaluate the projects
involved in the production unit of Renault. There are some skills required to implement such
projects because conducting the questionnaire itself require a skill. Collecting data from primary
sources require good communication and interpersonal skills.
Pros of Project management plan are:
1. It is easy to manage time among the tasks involved
2. Resources available can be utilized easily.
3. It gives job opportunities.
Disadvantages of project management plan:
1. The cost increases due to the lengthy process.

2. Sometimes, lack of communication is an issue.
Risk register
 Globalization can create risks in Renault and its production because globalization
increases production demand, which sometimes creates a risk of decline in the quality of
the product.
 Globalization increases the flow of foreign currency in the economy of Renault motors,
which can create an uncontrolled flow of money within the organization.
 Due to globalization and expansion of business in different countries with different
economy and culture, many products which might not suit a particular culture or country
can create a risk of failure.

Small scale research by applying qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Small scale research is helpful in the evaluation of the data collected through primary and
secondary resources. The small-scale research can be conducted by two methods which are
qualitative method and quantitative method of research.
To conduct small scale research, a survey can be conducted where responses of customers and
former employees can be taken regarding the production of Renault and how globalization and
expansion of business affected it.
Qualitative method is used to get the indebt information about the expansion of business due to
globalization and how Renault has responded culturally and economically. And on the other
hand, the quantitative method is used to analyses the already evaluated data and its results can be
used to conduct such small-scale research.
Qualitative is considered above than quantitative method because the data already evaluated in a
quantitative method can be manipulated (Fremeth, 2016).
Evaluate the accuracy and reliability of different research methods.
In this research project, qualitative and quantitative methods are used, which can evaluate data
collected through primary and secondary data collections. Among the two, the qualitative
method provides more indebt analysis of information but on the other hand quantitative method
is much based on evaluated data already. Qualitative is preferred above the quantitative method
because it is more accurate and reliable (Dauth, 2015).
The primary data collected is more accurate for the evaluation and effect of globalization in
Renault motors. The Primary data collections involve survey and questionnaire which is used in
this research project. The secondary data collections involve research papers, journals,
newsletters, etc. which are not reliable.

Analyze the research and data using appropriate tools and techniques.
Questionnaire
Renault motors of London have applied primary research methods to evaluate their performance
of management in growing business (Katerina, & Aneta, 2014). The main concentration on this
project showcases how the globalization activities affect the business activities in the long run.

management of Renault motors. Based on this research, the researcher has triggered their own
employees and a few of their customers as a respondent of their sample survey.
Design of questions
