Chief Executive, annual meetings of the regional offices led by the concerned General Manager,

of monthly review meetings is to review the progress of each department, while the annual
meetings are meant to evaluate the overall performance of the company, its regional offices,
and individual employees during the past year.

Different types of reports are prepared on suggestions or recommendations on personnel,


activity execution time and plans for overcoming the difficulties.

communication. The following written communications are used for external communication:

Quotations are used to communicate to the prospective customers, prices of the


required products or services. They have a fixed pattern and format.

Analysis of the Organization In Light Of The Subject Topic

STRENGTHS

BUSINESS COMMUNICATION CHANNEL MAINLY BASED ON WRITTEN COMMUNICATION

Wateen main customers are government departments as well as private sector organizations,

therefore, there all external communication is mainly based on written communication. To

cope with this task they are using most sophisticated and modern techniques of word processing.

FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT

The management of Wateen has made intentional efforts to create a friendly environment which is free
from the feelings of distrust, fear and threat. Such an environment is greatly supportive to effective
communication in all manners
WEAKNESSES

To counter this scenario, the idea to meet with representatives of their customers’ organization was
very helpful for me. I have studied and analyzed the complaints. The following deficiencies have been
identified in communication setup of the subject organization.

LACK OF ADEQUATE EFFECTIVE BUSINESS WRITING KNOWLEDGE - USING JARGONS

The management as well as the employees are not sufficiently trained in business

communication principles because they are using too much technical jargons usually in

their correspondence. This act is creating not only confusing situations but also made

correspondence unclear because of purchasing departments of government’s organization

as well as most of purchasing officers of private sector organization are not fully

acquainted with computer systems and their peripherals.

LACK OF ADEQUATE TRAINING - DELAY IN INFORMATION

Engineers and the marketing people are not providing necessary details immediately

because they are themselves not fully aware of latest product. Management assumed that

personnel will get to know the new products themselves, by using it, or playing with it.

Whereas the engineers require in-depth technical know-how of the products to do their

job properly.

LACK OF CUSTOMER AWARENESS THROUGH ADVERTISEMENTS

Many of the customers of computer related products are even unfamiliar with the name of

Wateen, because of Wateen’s inability to reach its target market through advertisements.
Some advertising has been used, but the message has not been effectively conveyed to

the prospective customers.

IMPERSONAL APPROACH

In some cases, Wateen’s personnel does not pay much attention on the little complaint

letters of unfamiliar customers, due to which the customers are likely to lose their interest

with the organization.

POOR EXPRESSION - TECHNICAL PERSONNEL HAVE NO COMMAND ON EFFECTIVE BUSINESS WRITING

Another problem area identified is that messages are not properly expressed. In fact, ability to

use good words, and proper format for the letters varies from person to person, in Wateen. There

is no such thing as standardization of all messages.


RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVEMENT

After having analyzed the deficiencies of Wateen Data Systems, I would now recommend strategies to
overcome these weaknesses in the following lines:

ADEQUATE EFFECTIVE BUSINESS WRITING KNOWLEDGE

Adequate knowledge of business communication tools, techniques, and strategies, needs to be


imparted on the managers as well as employees of the organization. This would give all persons
in the organization, a better understanding of the communication principles and enable them to
communicate more effectively with regard to use of jargons.

REPETITION

Repetition of a message, such as an advertisement, creates greater impact on the recipients.


This technique should be employed. It is important to note, however, that repetition should be
only where it is necessary.

TRAINING

Wateen’s customer engineers should receive more training from their principals, so that they
would not feel handicapped when faced by a problem at a customer’s site. Imparting of such
training would greatly improve the communication skills of the engineers on technical matters.

EFFECTIVE BUSINESS WRITING

While writing letters or other any type of written communication to others specially to
executives of organizations, be sure about the accuracy of figures, facts and words of the
correspondence.
Communication with other Business
Management Criteria:

Management, we simply say this is a way through which we can easily obtain our organizational goals,
we can say management is ongoing activity, entails reaching important goals, and involves knowing how
to perform the major functions of management so these functions are critical to effective management.
Wateen use variety of management criteria’s in order to make its working environment excellent. These
management programs are

 Contract with Moto


 Contract With Al-falah

Moto Manages Wateen:

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT - message board) today announced that it
has signed a nationwide managed services contract with Wateen Telecom-Pakistan, part of Warid
Telecom International, to drive the design and implementation of a MOTOwi4(TM) nationwide wireless
broadband voice and data network in Pakistan, with initial network deployment expected to be
completed during the second half of 2006. Enabling Wateen to focus critical resources, the Motorola
managed services contract will also empower the service provider to increase efficiencies and keep up
with rapidly advancing technologies.

Management service Contract:


Under the managed services contract, Motorola will take responsibility for the operations and
maintenance of the wi4WiMAX/IMS network according to an established set of key
performance indicators. The services included in the contract will ensure that Wateen's evolving
WiMAX infrastructure stays current and responsive to business demand.

The Wateen network is a multi-faceted project that combines a number of new technologies.
This managed services agreement with Motorola will enable the combined team to realize
Wateen's vision of 'Broadband Pakistan' quickly and efficiently,"
"This managed services agreement allows Wateen to leverage Motorola's standards-compliant
infrastructure, skilled staff, clear operational processes and demonstrated ability to manage a
network of this complexity and diverse emerging technologies,".

Wateen And Bank Al-falah:

 Bank Al-falah is providing services of Wateen bills payments

Integrated market communication:


One of the key elements in Wateen Telecom-Pakistan's decision to opt for a managed services
agreement was time to market. "Often in these wide-ranging nationwide infrastructure roll-outs, the
operator has to devote large portions of their internal team to managing the day-to-day operational
requirements of the network,".

"Wateen's management had the vision and clarity to opt for a single point of contact that
integrates the response to all service requirements, freeing the operator to focus on running its
business and serving customers across the country,".

Media:

Use of Media Effectively:

For the very first time in the telecom history a very effective campaign was lunched on
T.V, radio, reputed newspapers, journals etc. Wateen has its monogram after a long trail
of selection. Impressive slogans are developed, very modern and attractive ads are
presented to the public, above all, the services of electronic media are hired in the
prime time and the messages are repeated over and over again.

Sports Policies:

Sport also plays an important role in the marketing point of view. It is an important way to advertise on
international level to compete with their competitors.
