7. Recommendations
Going with the management's optimism,
Project TKO is an ambitious but a viable project. Since Project TKO will be majorly entrusted to the India team,
there is a lesser possibility that cross cultural misunderstandings will impede the project.
We recommend that Bella India undertake this project as it has the resources and capabilities to do so.
Although, it has to strongly reflect on Project Baton's failure and try not to repeat the same mistakes.
It should focus on:
-Research
-Training to Employees to fill Skill Gaps
If done with proper planning, management and coordination, there are high chances that
Bella India will succeed in this endeavor.
