ABSTRACT
Every organization, whether it is a multinational, private business, government offices, etc.

depend on its people. These people working as General Managers must be trained and kept motivated,

Telecom industry is growing in Pakistan, with new companies getting license the competition is tough as

market leader both in terms of growth as well as having the largest customer subscriber base in Pakistan -

• www.pta.org
2 Newspapers
I have tried to attain the maximum authentic and complete information regarding company.
LIMITATIONS
One of the major limitations while carrying out this research was the lack of cooperation
on the part of the management of the Mobilink in providing the data regarding the company
and its policies.

CELLULAR INDUSTRY IN PAKISTAN
Cellular Mobile segment of the industry is considered an engine of growth for telecom sector in
Pakistan, cellular Mobile sector continued to add 2.1 million subscribers per month during the year 2007-
08, cellular mobile operators continued their aggressive marketing and network expansion, competition
among operators became more intensive with aggressive entry of CMPak, a China Mobile subsidiary in
Pakistan. CMPak with their brand Zong and Telenor have added significant subscribers very rapidly,
several cellular operators offered various Value Added Services at lower rates to attract more customers.
The sector exhibited slow growth than year before, Cellular Mobile teledensity jumped from 39% in 2006-
07 to 54.7% in 2007- 08, collective Revenues of the sector have grew by 35% in the year 2007-08 against a
record growth of 48% in the year 2006-07, cellular subscribers grew by about 40% in the year 2007-08, as
against 82% in 2006 -07 and more than 100% during 2005-06, Main reason for its slow growth could be
the rising inflation which affects the affordability, higher taxes, saturation of the urban markets and low
tariffs.
INTRODUCTION
Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E: Established in 1998 and has grown to become a major player in
the telecommunication market.
OTH is considered among the largest and most diversified network operators in the Middle East, Africa,
and South Asia, and has acquired in early 2008 a license to operate mobile services in North Korea.
Orascom Telecom is a leading mobile telecommunications company operating in six emerging markets
having a population under license of 430 million with an average penetration of mobile telephony across
all markets of approximately 40%. OTH operates GSM networks in Algeria (Djezzy), Pakistan (Mobilink),
Egypt, Tunisia , Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. OTH had exceeded 74 million subscribers as of March 2008.
In Pakistan, the Pakistan Mobile communications Ltd (“Mobilink”) started its operations in 1994 and,
until early 2001, had a market share of 40%. In April 2001, OTH took over management control of the
company. As the market leader, Mobilink serves more than 31.5 million subscribers, representing a
market share of 38.5% (as of March 2008).
OTH has positioned itself as a leader in the region for its diverse GSM operations with various GSM
support and Internet operations. One of OTH's main strategies is to create its own non- GSM subsidiaries
to act as a backbone of support for its regional GSM operations. OTH has achieved this by dedicating
financial, technical and management resources for supporting its subsidiaries.
OTH is dedicated to provide the best quality services to its customers, value to shareholders, and a
dynamic working environment for its nearly 11,000 employees.

PREMIER CELLULAR COMPANY
Mobilink Pakistan Premier Cellular Company Claims be to have 10 Million Subscribers

nationwide what you call such a company pioneers giants whatever but the fact is that Mobilink is the
largest Cellular Company in Pakistan.
Mobilink is giant is this the reason that they are still expensive as compare to other companies like Ufone
and Warid Tel. As people relay on Mobilink services that’s why Mobilink still charging high rates people
specially business class hesitate to switch to other cellular company.
Company is large and has the largest subscriber base in Pakistan. Mobilink recently started GPRS services
with RS. 500/month of unlimited usage this is the treat for GRPS users those who want to take their office
with them Mobilink give them ease with reason able charges. Mobilink also started 3 friend and family
number with a charge of 2.25/min still expensive as compared to Warid but giving incentive to
subscriber there is an additional cost of RS 25 to add friends and family number which is not fair.
Mobilink is major cellular company and will stand in first place many years to come with professional
approach and highly skilled staff behind Mobilink is the premier choice for subscribers nationwide. The
only problem I see with Mobilink is the call rates, which in my point of view are somewhat high. As the
competition is growing I hope the rates will be cut down to attract more subscribers.
NETWORK
During the last 13 years, Mobilink has set up one of the largest cellular networks in the country.
Currently, we are covering more than 10,000+ cities and towns. This has involved an investment in the
company of more than US$ 1 Billion. We have 66 Switches and more than 6,300 cell sites and the number
keeps growing at a rapid pace. We also have deployed around 5,000 km of optical cable.

BCG GROWTH-SHARE MATRIX

Companies that are large enough to be organized into strategic business units face the challenge
of allocating resources among those units. In the early 1970's the Boston Consulting Group developed a
model for managing a portfolio of different business units. The BCG growth-share matrix displays the
various business units on a graph of the market growth rate vs. market share relative to competitors.
BCG Growth-Share Matrix

On the vertical axis, market growth rate provides a measure of market attractiveness. On the horizontal
axis, relative market share serves as a measure of company strength in the market.
The growth-share matrix defines four types of SBUs:
CASH COW - (LOW GROWTH, HIGH MARKET SHARE)
A business unit that has a large market share in a mature, slow growing industry. Cash cows
require little investment and generate cash that can be used to invest in other business units.
STAR - (HIGH GROWTH, HIGH MARKET SHARE)
A business unit that has a large market share in a fast growing industry. Stars may generate
cash, but because the market is growing rapidly they require investment to maintain their lead. If
successful, a star will become a cash cow when its industry matures.
QUESTION MARK - (HIGH GROWTH, LOW MARKET SHARE)
A business unit that has a small market shares in a high growth market. These business units
require resources to grow market share, but whether they will succeed and become stars is unknown.
DOG - (LOW GROWTH, LOW MARKET SHARE)
A business unit that has a small market shares in a mature industry. A dog may not require
substantial cash, but it ties up capital that could better be deployed elsewhere. Unless a dog has some
other strategic purpose, it should be liquidated if there is little prospect for it to gain market share.
Some limitations of the Boston Consulting Group Matrix include:
• High market share is not the only success factor.

• Market growth is not the only indicator for attractiveness of a market.
• Sometimes Dogs can earn even more cash as Cash Cows.
Some negative criticism for the following reasons:
• The link between market share and profitability is questionable since increasing market share
can be very expensive.
• The approach may overemphasize high growth, since it ignores the potential of declining
markets.
• The model considers market growth rate to be a given. In practice the firm may be able to grow
the market.

Strategic Business Units of Mobilink
• Jazz One
• Jazz Budget
• Jazz Ladies First
• Jazz Easy
• Jazz Octane
• Mobilink Indigo
• Mobilink PCO
Classification of SBUs according to growth-share matrix:
CASH COW
• Jazz Ladies First

• Mobilink Indigo
• Jazz Budget
Because these two packages are low growth, high share products. These established and successful SBUs
need less investment to hold their market share. They produce a lot of cash to support the other SBUs that
need investment.
STAR
• Jazz One
This package is a high growth, high share product. There is need to invest more for its rapid growth.
QUESTION MARK
• Jazz Easy
• Mobilink PCO
These packages are low share in high growth markets. They require a lot of cash to hold their share.
Management needs to think hard about question marks it should try to build into stars or should be
phased out.
DOG
• Jazz Octane
It is low growth, low share product. It may generate enough cash to maintain itself but do not promise to
be large source of cash.
Comments
There is need to invest in the more promising question marks to make them stars and to
maintain the stars so that they will become cash cows as their markets mature.

MARKET SHARE
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE

Market Segmentation
Market segmentation is dividing a market into distinct groups of buyers who have distinct needs.
The market consists of many types if customers products and needs. The marketer has to determine
which segments offer the best opportunities. Consumer’s can be grouped and served in various ways
based on geographic demographic psychographics and behavioral factors. The process of dividing a
market into distinct groups of buyers who have different needs characteristics or behavioral who might
require separate products or marketing programs is called marker segmentation.
Every market has segments but not all ways of segmenting a market are equally useful. For example
Tylenol would gain little by distinguishing between low income and high income pain reliever users if
both respond the some way to marketing efforts. A market segment consists of consumers who respond
in a similar way to a given set of marketing efforts in the car market for example consumers who want
the biggest most comfortable car regardless of price make up one market segments. Consumers who care
mainly about price and operating economy make up another segment. It would be difficult to make one
car model that was the first choice if consumers in both segments companies are wise through focus their
efforts on meeting the distinct needs of individual marker segments.
Following are the different segments of Moblink
• Business class
• Ladies
• SME sector
• Sports
• Flight Roaming
Marketing Targeting
The process of evaluating each market segments attractiveness and selecting one or more
segments to enter.
After a company has defined market segments. It can enter one or many of these segments. Market

DIFFERENTIATION
Differentiation is actually differentiating the market offering to create superior customer value,
once a company has chosen a desired position it must take strong strips to deliver and communicate that
position to target consumers. The company entire marketing program should support the chosen
positioning strategy.
Mobilink has differentiation its products by doing different activities as follows
• Price affordability
• Hire famous personalities
• Only company offers package for ladies
• 34% shares
• Airplane roaming
• Mobilink PCO
POSITIONING
Positioning is arranging for a product to occupy a clear distinctive and desirable place relative to
competing products in the minds of target consumers.
In positioning its product the company first identifies possible customer value differences that provide
competitive advantages upon which to build the position. The company can offer greater customer value
either by charging lower prices than competitor or by offering more benefits to justify higher prices but if
the company promises greater value it must then deliver that greater value. Thus effective positioning
begins with differentiation.
As whenever we hear the word indigo we quickly evaluate that it is Mobilink, so the Mobilink has very
strong positioning in customer minds. Another example is jazz.
PLACE
Place includes company activities that make the product available to target consumers, it includes
channels, coverage, location, inventory, Moblink Sims and connection are available all over the Pakistan,

covering more than 10,000+ cities, towns, and villages across Pakistan, Sims are available on more than
700 franchises all over the Pakistan.
PRICE
Price is the amount of money that customer have to pay to obtain the product, Moblink offers
different packages of different call rates to capture the market, Moblink also offers discount, advances,
post paid, prepaid connections that a customer easily afford.
PRICING STRATEGY OF MOBILINK:
It is well known brand of Mobilink.

Previously Mobilink was offering Jazz connection for
about3000 rupees 5 years ago. Its market oriented
statement is “Aur Sunao” But through the passage of
time\now Mobilink is offering Jazz connections for about
100 rupees.
In 2002 Ufone which is one of the leading competitor of

Jazz introduced its prepay connection for about 2500
rupees. In 2005 Telenor came into existence in Pakistani
market and offered its connections for about 500 rupees.
Then in 2005 Warid also entered the market offering its
connections for 250 rupees. In this way price war started between these telecom brands in the market.
Previously it was Jazz’s oligopoly as they offered their prices. In 2005 Jazz offered a
cellphone+connection+prepaid card implementing a product-bundle pricing strategy for creating more
attention and attraction. The major shift in the pricing strategy came in when they started 30.second
operations using the promotional pricing strategy.
In the early days Jazz was offering its sim-cards for a high-price using captive-product pricing strategy as
its SIM-card is a main product that must be used along with the cell phone.
Initially Jazz’s call rates and SMS charges were also reduced using discount and allowance strategy and
initially directing towards promotional strategy as the competition between cellular brands in the market
grew faster.
Recently Jazz introduced its offerings of 0.99 per minute call rates in their “happy hour package” which
represents their operations with the promotional as well as psychological pricing of their services.
Through its happy hour package they are also operating with promotional strategy as they are engaged
in continuous promotion through their offerings. Besides that Jazz adopted segmented pricing strategy as
they were charging different call rated from one city to another but its competitors have emerged
tremendously they have responded efficiently towards their actions through cutting their pricing mainly
applying promotional and psychological strategy.

As Ufone, Telenor and ZEM are offering great offers of call rates and SMS rates, day by day Jazz in also
responding efficiently through its strategic pricing offers.
ATTRACTIVE TARIFF PACKAGES
Since liberalization of the cellular sector in Pakistan, the tariffs declined tremendously. Telecom
regulator used to regulate airtime tariffs of cellular mobile operators through price-cap prior to
liberalization and did not allow operators to go beyond ceilings determined by PTA.
However, in competitive environment, the market forces are determining the tariffs, which are, declining
rigorously, the operators are targeting different segments of the customers and offering concessions and
packages to these customers. Interestingly, the SMS seems more attractive to operators for revenue
generation where they offered lowest tariffs during the quarter.

different packages. Recently, Mobilink has also introduced 1.4

like ''strings'' and Cricketers like Wasim Akram to show their brand ambassador, Sponsored award
shows.
CORPORATE LEVEL STRATEGY

As their corporate level strategy, they have entered into partnerships with different
organizations.
On the basis of findings, it appears that for the past few years (1999-2003), Mobilink had a focus on
internal growth. All this is evident from the fact that since the deregulation of the mobile service industry
of Pakistan, Mobilink has undertaken various efforts to ensure that it changes its stance from
concentrating on its existing market to growing its market presence. The main reason for this change is
mainly to keep up with the competition and to retain and increase its market share. This transition is
obvious in Mobilink’s repositioning itself and hitting the market with a new face with the catchphrase
“Reshaping communication”
With the threat of new entrants into the industry after the deregulation, Mobilink’s strategy took a new
turn. To keep abreast with the company, Mobilink took the following steps during the last 2 years:
• Expanded its international roaming Service scope in 14 more countries including Vietnam,
Germany, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Iran, Venezuela, Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia, Uganda, Sudan,

Bahrain, and Caribbean Islands. Bilateral roaming agreements signed with 100 countries around
the world to have true roaming service operational in 151 operators of the world.

Samsung or Sony Ericson right from Mobilink Service Center. On every purchase the customers

BUSINESS LEVEL STRATEGY

As their business level strategy it has focused on Differentiation strategy ever since it started.
Mobilink has always made successful attempts to distinguish their products or services from other in the
industry. They make their product unique through.
Advertising
• Highly creative people in the marketing dept
• Billboards, TV commercials, bringing in famous personalities from media to endorse their
packages
Distinctive Product Features
• Value added services
• Online billing
• GPRS enabled
• Mobilink also started 3 friend and family number with a charge of 2.25/min still expensive as
compared to Warid but giving incentive to subscriber there is an additional cost of RS 25 to add
friends and family number.
• International roaming: Bilateral roaming agreements signed with 100 countries around the world
to have true roaming service operational in 151 operators of the world.
Exceptional Service
• There are certain areas of Pakistan where PTCL connections are not available; the PTCL cables
have not reached yet, but Mobilink has its service in those areas.

• Providing services in 413 cities
• Best customer service in the cellular market: Biggest Call Center in Pakistan, which is there to
assist the customers 24 hours.
• Only cellular service in Pakistan to provide coverage on the M2 motorway.
New Technology
• Introduced GSM tech- bye to AMPS?
• GPRS system – fast and inexpensive
• MOBILINK GSM Short Message Service Center allows Vehicle Tracking and Fleet Management
services that are being provided by Tracker (Pvt.) Ltd., under the brand name of C-Track, a
company licensed by Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA). Tracker currently operates from
Karachi but can provide these facilities at all those locations where GSM coverage is available.
Their differentiation strategy is usually targeted at people who are not particularly concerned with price,
so it can be quite profitable e.g. indigo and blackberry are relatively expansive packages; blackberry is
mainly targeted for the business class who can afford it. In this way, the revenue generation remains
high. Mobilink offers tariff plans that are exclusively designed to cater to the communication needs of a
diverse group of people, taking into account occasional users to businessmen. To achieve this objective,
mob offers both postpaid (Indigo, relatively expensive) and the prepaid (JAZZ, relatively inexpensive)
solutions to their customers.
Low Cost Strategy

Mobilink does not follow a low cost strategy. Mobilink is a giant in Pakistani mobile industry Tel. Since it
first started its operations, it has been focusing its products on the upper strata of the society. That is why
its rates are higher than its competitors, Ufone, Warid, Telenor, etc.

Functional Level Strategy

Compotators Analysis
Subscribers Growth and Penetration
Cellular Mobile sector has shown an impressive

growth over the years. Pakistan has been one of the fastest
growing mobile markets among the emerging telecom
markets, Subscription o f subscribers remained impressive
for another year and all companies together added more than
25 million subscribers to their networks. Total subscribers
crossed 88 million at the end of 2007-08. During the year
2007-08, Telenor added about 7.4 million subscribers as
compared to 7.1 million in 2006-07; Mobilink comes second
with the addition of 5.7million subscribers during the same
period. Warid telecom succeeded to add another 4.8 million
subscribers this year. Ufone added 4.0 million subscribers’ in
2007-08 as compared to its addition of 6.5 million in previous year1. CMPak entered the cellular market
with aggressive marketing and infrastructure roll out. Its growth was negative previous year but this year
it added 2.9 million subscribers in last few months. lular Mobile penetration in Pakistan reached 54.7% at
the end of 2007-08, which is 15.3 percentage points higher than the last year, despite impressive addition
of cellular subscribers by operators during 2007-08; Cellular Mobile market could not maintain its growth
patterns of the last 3-4 years. Generally, the growth of subscribers has declined considerably in 2007-08,
which is evident in Table - 7. Total subscribers growth has been reported 40% in 2007-08, which has
declined from 82% in the year 2006-07, growth of cellular subscribers has declined by all major
companies. Mobilink growth declined from 53% to

22% while Telenor growth has declined from 199% in 2006-07 to 69% in 2007-08, CMPak has entered the
market recently and has shown positive growth.
Cellular Mobile Penetration in all provinces has increased in last one year; the province of Punjab toped
in numbers though its total teledensity is second to Sindh, Total subscribers in Punjab at the end of June
2008 reached 52 million compared to 37 million in 2006-07, growth of cellular subscribers remained
highest in the province of Baluchistan where subscription grew by 57% in 2007-08 with total cellular
subscribers approaching 2.2 million compared to 1.4 million in 2006-072. When compared with 2006-07
and 2007- 08, Cellular Mobile penetration has increased by 36.8 percentage points in Punjab and its total
teledensity climbed to 58.0% at the end of 2007- 08, which was 42.4% in 2006-07. A significant
improvement in Baluchistan has been noted where its cellular Mobile teledensity has reached 27% in
2007-08 which was just 17% at the end of 2006-07. This improvement is due to the special attention of
regulator and Government of Pakistan for this province in telecom sector in last year.
Market Share
Market share of operators is considered an important

tool to gauge the level of competition in any sector of the
economy. Marker shares of Cellular Mobile Operators
indicate that market is moving toward perfect competition
where the share of major operators are declining and new
entrants are able to grab more share in the market. During
the year 2007- 08, Telenor has emerged as fastest growing
operator who has improved its market share from 17% in
2006-07 to above 21% slightly higher than Ufone who also
has 21% market share. On the other hand, the leading mobile
operator, Mobilink is losing its

Significant Marker Power place rapidly and its share has declined by about 5 percentage points and
reached 36% in 2007-08 compare to 41% in 2006-07.
CMPak is also growing very fast and it has added 2.9 million subscribers, which is an impressive number
and one could hoped that in future it will grab more market share. CM Pak has added more subscribers
in last few months and it has continued its aggressive media campaign along with infrastructure rollout
which helping it to grab more market share in short span of time.
Coverage Analysis
Low Average Revenue per User

(ARPU) and tough competition in cellular
mobile market of Pakistan compelled all
operators to expand the network rapidly
so that they can add more subscribers on
their network to improve their revenue.
Currently more than 91% of the
population has access to cellular mobile
service all across Pakistan though the
access is more in thickly populated
localities. Some areas of Baluchistan and
NWFP remained uncovered due to disturbances in those areas; rest of the country is almost covered by
now.
To expand the infrastructure, operators are rapidly installing new cell sites all across the country. During
the year 2007-08 all operators have added around 8,000 new cell sites, which is an impressive figure
because it takes huge investments to install the cell sites. Ufone has added the highest number of cell sites
in 2007-08 and that addition was 1,827 new cell sites during 2007-08. With addition of these, Ufone total
cell sites have reached to 3,471. Next was Mobilink who added 1,817 cell sites, its total sites stand at 7,339

which is the highest among all. Total Cell sites in Pakistan reached 21,518 which were only 13, 752 in
2006-07. In terms cell sites growth, Ufone growth was 111% while CM Pak growth remained 100%.
Franchise
Despite aggressive cellular

subscriber growth, franchises
increased normally at 3%. During
the year 2007-08, total cellular
operators franchises increased to
1,679 which were 1,619 the
previous year. One reason for this
slow growth could be the closure
of some franchises by PTA being
involved in unauthorized sale of
SIMs which was causing problem
of law and order in the country, other reason could be that expansion is going on unpopulated
areas where the operators already allotted franchises.
Financial Analysis
Financial health of the cellular mobile industry seems to be volatile and most of the operators are
operating in loss though their revenues have increased significantly over the last few years. The only
operator, Ufone has reported profit of Rs. 1.3 billion in 2006-07 who is not dependent on off shore loans
and rapid infrastructure roll out. Most of the operators are engaged in rolling out infrastructure and
operators have to spend a huge amount on import of machinery and equipments. Depreciation of
Pakistani currency has further exacerbated the financial position of the industry. Particularly those
operators who are engaged in rapid infrastructure rollout and dependent on foreign loans from off shore
sources have to bear loss due depreciation of currency.
Depreciation of local currency has increased the cost of

doing business considerably. Moreover, low tariffs and
increased tax rates could also be responsible factors for low
profit margins in the industry. However, the revenue growth
seems quite comfortable of all operators though it lower as
compared to previous years. In the year 2007-08, revenue
grew by 35% compare to 48% last year, among the operators,
Telenor is the most efficient operator in terms of revenue
generation who has increased about 97% revenue in 2007-08
compared to previous year and reported Rs. 45 billion
revenues in the fiscal year 2007-08. Mobilink earned about
Rs. 80 billion revenues, which is 24% higher than the last

year. Mobilink and Telenor hold about 70% of the total revenues of the industry while 29% is held by
Warid and Ufone. Warid and Ufone have 15% and 14% of total revenue respectively.
Revenue per User
Average Revenue per User (ARPU) is an important

tool to measure the financial health of any telecom sector.
The emerging markets of cellular mobile segments in South
Asia are considered the low ARPU markets. In Pakistan
ARPU has declined significantly over the years. In the year
2003-04, ARPU in Pakistan was US$ 9 which has declined to
only US$ 3.1 in 2007-08. However, the cellular mobile
operators in Pakistan succeeded to maintain ARPU in 2007-
08 at the level of previous year and reported only 3%
further decline. ARPU for Instaphone phone declined by
57% which is due to its transitional phase. CMPak’s ARPU
has declined by 52% in 2007-08 which is due to its large
expansion and low l eve l of subscribers, Mobilink’s ARPU
declined to US$ 3.5 compare to US$ 3.8 in the year 2006-07. Similarly, the Telenor's ARPU declined by
only 3% and reached to US$ 3.9 compare to its US$ 4 in 2006-073.

RECOMMENDATIONS
• Mobilink follows a differentiation strategy. If it wants to grow in this market and rise above its
competitors, it should also follow low cost strategy through it can reach to more people and
comfortably increase its market share.
• Mobilink has been fined twice by Pakistan telecommunication Authority over its bad service. It
must try and emphasize on providing better services to its customers instead on concentrating
only on expansion.
• Mobilink should revise its distribution channel in Pakistan. Different package cards are available
at variable prices across the country. There is no consistency in process across the country. It
should devise some strategy to deal with this trouble.
• Further it does not have any promotional offerings that would attract customers. For example, in
the previous year, Ufone offered free connections to the masses and Telenor had offered SMS
service within its Network in summer 2005. If such measures were implemented, they would
increase its brand name and add value to the organization.
