project management plan such as:
Cost:- it is one of essential element of conducting this research where it is necessary to make the
budget of the research according to the cost which has been decided by the organization. Cost of
the research has been used according to the plan and effective budget. Each and every activity
required cost. For carrying out all the activities this research conduct approximately $4000 for
making the research very much effective.
Scope :- Research scope refers to the area which has been make the parameters and explored the
study that has been operated. It involves the benefits of the research through scope where it gives
summary and brief about conducting the research and also limits the study to intend for carrying
out. The scope of the research is it very useful in corporate and academic sector for the future
study of research.
Time:- it is one of the most comprehensive way to utilize time. It very important to utilize the
times at the time of conducting the research and also make a schedule according to the days and
time when it is useful in conducting and collecting the accurate data and information. All the
activities has been done according to the schedule that has been fix by the researcher.
Quality: It is also one of the important element which is essential in conducting the valid
research and also make the research authentic. As data is collected from secondary sources thus,
its interpretation is conducted on accurate manner. After preparing aims and objective of the

P4 Research methodology
Research types
Research is basically a type of investigation where it has been study about things and
establish the figures and facts to reach at conclusion. There are basically two type of research
such as Qualitative research helps in collecting the methods for making the structure & semi-
structured tools & techniques and Quantitative research where helps in gaining and
understanding the reasons, motivation and opinions (Andrew, 2019). In this research, researcher
had applied the qualitative methods to conduct the research so that questionnaire methods is used
to determined various facts and information.
Research philosophy
It is a belief for the ways where the data about the things has been collected and analysed.
It has been opposed to the doxology and also encompasses so many activities and philosophies
of research. It has been defined in two forms such as interpretivism and positivism. Where the
researcher will use the interpretivism method for integrating the human interest and explain the
elements of the research (Brown and Rhoades, 2019).
Research approach
Research approach is generally a process & planning the steps which has been broadly
classified and assumptions for giving the detailed about the methods of data analysis, reasoning

approaches. There are basically two parts of the research approach such as inductive & deductive
method. Researcher will use for identifying the relevant data and also it leads to the success for
the completion of the project (Glaeser, Fisher and Su, 2019).
Data collection
It is one of the most important research method where it is a process of gathering the
information from all the relevant sources for easily finding the answers of all the research
problems. It is method where all the data has been gathered. Data collection basically involves
two categories such as primary data collection in which all the data has been gathered by one
person through surveys and interviews and on the other hand the secondary data collection has
been collected from third person and also the data in not real. It is collected from the books,
internet etc. researcher will apply the primary data collection for using the relevant and real data
for conducting this research (Kumar, 2019).
Sampling
It is a process that has been used for the already determining all the numbers of
observations which has been taken from larger numbers of people. The term sampling has been
for making sample of people and it has been measured. Sampling should be representative of all
peoples for ensuring the finding and generalizing the sample of research of whole population.
For conducting this research the researcher will take the 25 managers as conducting the research
(Sabri, Odeh and Saad, 2019).
Accuracy and reliability: By choosing this methods it results in providing the consistency in
results and stability in data if inspection is undertaken from many times. If the data is collected
from previous years there are more chances of getting the same results in current year. Validity
arises in respect of accuracy in data and also its importance of collecting the information from
different sources.

reputation of the company is to be enhanced at international level (Heagney, 2016). Usually

Interpretation: From the above graph it is to be interpreted that the major challengers which is
faced by company to recruit, trained and select employees and also improve their condition of
employees at international levels are majorly focused on having the language barriers (Kamil and

language and thus they also known by different languages which is used in country to deal with
any other country. Thus, the biggest factors which they are facing is related to language barrier
and thus it restricts them to promote their employees at large scale.

Recommendations
On the basis of above report the recommendation has been defined in below contexted
manner as are-
 International expansion of goods and services aids to boost the long run average growth
rate of the economy with help of improvement in allocative efficiency of resources and to
take initiatives to enhance labour productivity.

P7 Reflection
From the above research report it has been reflected that globalisation is process that
allows to have free movement of good and services at the worldwide level. Therefore, aim and
objective to this report has been framed on the basis of given topic. However, research
methodologies has been defined to select the proper method to research in terns to gather reliable
and authentic data. In this, interpretive research philosophy method has been taken to interpret
the elements of study. Inductive approach has been taken that aids to determine the observation
of the study to produce the end result. To gather the depth information to the research, researcher
has used descriptive techniques so that extent information to research can be conducted. This
technique has helped me to gather the specific information to research study.
On the other hand, to carry out this research I have selected primary method and that has
helped me to collect first hand information with help of framing questionnaire. This has helped
me to collect reliable information about the topic of research. Thus, non-probabilistic sampling
method has been selected and this aids to interpret the elements of study with use of thematic
analysis. Thus, thematic analysis has helped me to gain accurate picture of data. Therefore, this
study has helped me to learn the depth insights about the impact of globalisation on enterprises.
CONCLUSION
From the above report it can be concluded that Globalization is basically a process of
integration and interaction among so many peoples, governments, companies. It is growing day

by day sue to so many advance technologies and effective communication. Day to day increasing
the interaction globally that comes to the growth of international market, trade, culture and ideas.
