.CHAPTER 2- LITERATURE REVIEW
Introduction about globalisation aspect
According to the Stephen Hundley, 2015 the term globalisation is defined as
interconnectedness among individual and business. This refers to the cultural, political,
economical and social integration among all individuals. Moreover, it is the ability of individual
and it is used in managing the business at international level. TESCO is performing their work

organisational goals and objectives.
All the essential aspects like communication, risk, resources etc. that required for completing
task according to the project management plan mention as follow:
 Organisation structure- An organisation structure is adopted by the management to
complete project as per specified time. An effective organisation structure also leads
organisation to accomplish company objective within minimum utilisation of resources.
In context of research the format or structure is followed by organisation to complete all
work in an as per decided format (Hjelmbrekke, Klakegg and Lohne, 2017). This also
leads to select right and accurate conditions to explain all provided information in an
easy manner.
 Scope- Within the context of project scope it is analysed that employees are required by
all type of organisation for performing operations and functions in decided time period.
Therefore, by understanding all aspects related with diverse workforce it is easy to
manage employees of organisation. This also refers that researcher are completing their
work with motive of collecting all essential information related with employees or
individuals.
 Communication- In order to accomplish desired results communication is one of the
best effective method which leads researcher to transfer and share all information among
all team members of organisation. Along with this there are different communication
tools is required by researcher such as mobile phone, internet etc. which leads to select
right information and also to deliver them in an appropriate manner (Kerzner, 2018).
This also results that an accurate and effective communication system is established
between researcher and respondents by using communication in an accurate manner.
 Resources- For completing the research on equality and diversity topic there are various
resources required by researcher for completing the researcher in an organised manner.
Laptop, Printer, paper and internet connection are some most important resources

required by organisation. Moreover, researcher collects all essential resources for
completing each task in an accurate manner because it helps to generate meaningful
outcomes from report. In the last, by using printer machine is used to collect all
information in form of hard copy.
 Communication matrix- The tool of communication matrix relates with use of
collecting and designing all information that leads to select right team members. In
context of organisation it is used for completing all information which leads to
implement right communication system (Marshall, 2014). Moreover, it also result
individuals complete all research in decided time period by using communication matrix
among all departments.
 Cost- In the present scenario, with the increase in number of research project it is
identified by researcher that cost for completing project is also enhancing. The estimated
amount for completing research is estimated with amount of £300. In the context of cost
it is identified by researcher that the cost is used by management to purchase of books,
printer and to pay travel expenses (Murdock and Varnes, 2018). It results research is
completed by researcher within decided budget.
 Time- According to decided time period which is provided for completing research
relates with seven weeks in which researcher manage project aims and objectives. In the
context of completing work it is used in managing project through which task are
completed as per schedule. Moreover, according to the right time it is used in managing
time for complete of project as per decided timeline.
 Risk- This is the last aspect for researcher which is impacting on the outcomes of a
project. Along with this risk is impacting on all research perspective due to which it is
complex for obtaining desired and accurate results. In context of identifying the existing
research perspective researcher is able to generate right policy which leads to overcome
from different risk aspects.
 Quality- Information or data which is gathered by the researcher must collect and
manage according to the quality aspect. This is also used by investigator for completing
all work according to decided objectives. In context of quality it is used by researcher to
collect right and relevant information from respondent to generate meaningful outcome

from research. Quality control chart is used by the researcher for generating specific
outcomes.
Formulation of Gantt chart and work break down structure
Gantt chart- Gantt chart is an effective tool that is utilised by organisation for generating
a schedule for all project activities (Rahrovani, Kermanshah and Pinsonneault, 2014). With
developing an effective schedule for all actions and activities related with research it is easy to
obtain and utilise right information which relates with organisational project. Further, Gantt chart
also demonstrates different activities that are required by researcher for completing each activity
according to decided time period.
Work break down structure- WBS is determined as a tool that is used by the
organisation for generating right and accurate plan. Further, large organisation such as Tesco
develops large plans which are complex to implement. WBS aids to conduct better results for
simplifying the project plan by delegating into smaller components. So management is also able
to make accurate decisions by organising all activities and it also used by organisation for
generating longer results by analysing essential aspects of business like, human resource,
resources and many more.
