A business should have clear aims and objectives for which it has to operate. Aims are
the long term ascertainment of a business which it desires to achieve. Aim is the primary goal
and the objectives are secondary which are used to achieve the aim. This projects also aims at
regulating CSR activity in the business operations of TESCO. The aims and objectives can be
stated clearly as under:
AIMS OBJECTIVES
To regulate CSR activities in TESCO TESCO wants to develop its business with
CSR so it needs to identify what all plans and
procedures and strategies it would require to

P2: A project management plan to process CSR activities in TESCO
A project management plan is a blueprint of the procedure which a researcher is going to
perform while operating that project. It is the assessment of cost, resources, scope, quality,
communication, time and risk associated with the project (Weaver, 2014). Bringing CSR
activities in operation a company have to estimate all the factors which will be generated while
executing the activities. These activities are briefly illustrated as under-

FACTORS DESCRIPTION
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT The scope of making the project is checked.
What will be the use of it, how will it help
TESCO to develop and how profit would be
maximised through it etc. we can't rely on hit
and trial because it involves huge cost.
COST ESTIMATION In beginning cost associated with the project
has to be estimated. How much the project will
cost is to be ascertained to know the actual cost
in the project. A proper division of the cost to
all the activities and according to that the
budget is prepared for the project.
RESOURCE ALLOCATION A researcher have to allocate all the resources
available in the market (E.G., 2014). These can
be in relation to the production of the product
or it can be in funds ascertainment from
different sources. It is essential to know where
the will get everything to operate.
TIME ASCERTAINMENT The time is ascertained and allocated that how
much time the project will take to be
accomplished from its starting to the end
results how much time will it require. It is
important to utilise the time properly.
RISK ASSOCIATED The risk associated with the project is to be
identified. All the pros and cons associated
with TESCO's operations should be taken into
consideration. The success and the failure of
the project because the business depends on
that only.

COMMUNICATING THE PLAN The plan which is made should be
communicated to all the parties associated with
it (Polonsky, 2014). Employees and
stakeholder should be told about overall
business plan so that the execution can became
transparently. This would decrease the doubts.
QUALITY The quality of management is ascertained. The
strictness requires, the quality of work which is
required to achieve success over the project.
This is how a project has to be managed by taking into consideration all the above factors
which are incorporation with the preparation and in implementation of the project management
plan. All the above are very essential part of a project to regulate CSR activity in TESCO
P3: A work breakdown structure and a Gantt chart
Work has to be divided properly among the people in any organisation, this results in
decreasing duplication of work and all the confusion. A structure of the work division depicts
who has to report to whom, what is to be done by the people in the organisation and all the
factors related to effective management of work in TESCO(Brehmer, 2011). TESCO will require
personnels who will perform the different tasks in operating the CSR activities an to have
effective work accomplishment a work breakdown structure can be as under-

The work is to be divided among the people according to the above chart for effective
completion. Everything should be clearly stated that what is to be done in a project. All activities
in a project has to be done step by step so as to have a successful accomplishment.
A Gantt Chart is a time management chart which states clearly that which activity will
take how much time in accomplishment. The time is divided between the factors in a procedure
which is followed in a particular project (Kindström, 2011). Likewise in this project the
establishment of CSR activities in TESCO requires a time frame about how the time will be
managed by properly dividing in each activity. The following is the representation of the Gantt
Chart-
WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE

ACTIVITIES/WEEK WEEK1 WEEK2 WEEK3 WEEK4 WEEK5 WEEK6
Formation of the plan
Identification of the resources
Implementation of plan
Work evaluation
Comparison The Result
Taking corrective action
Above Gantt Chart represents the time division among weeks. It clearly states which step
will take how much time to process (Gonin, 2013). The formation from formation of the plan to
taking corrective action while processing the CSR activity in TESCO''s operations is clearly
stated.
