responsibility; their social responsibility and their environmental responsibility. As a good corporate
citizen, China Mobile Limited is committed to the harmonious development of its business, society and the
environment. China Mobile Limited will remain humble and keep innovating in order to achieve preeminence.

Society. It aims to build an omnipresent mobile network to provide a colorful set of mobile
communication applications with omnipotence, to promote the citizens level of informationalization and
enhance China Mobiles competitiveness at an international level.

applications to suit the individual needs of consumers and the prompt adaptation to new changes to the
environment.
Omnipresence and Omnipotence are China Mobiles ambitious plans and also the objectives that
China Mobile aims to achieve through its ethos Perfection.

Mobile communication is now a utility. You need your mobile phone. Zong team seeks to meet consumers
all communication needs by providing the best technology at an affordable price. They give you:
Coverage - at an affordable price Convenience - at an affordable price Connectivity - at an affordable
price
It would be their prime objective to be rated as the best cellular service provider in Pakistan by expanding
their service area to every corner of the country which is to be backed by excellent after-sales service.
As a major step towards achieving their goal of expanding their services rapidly They have decided to
award the expansion contract to different vendors in Pakistan. These high ambitions would certainly lead
us to become a major force in the development of telecom industry in Pakistan.
We know that their partners Alcatel-Lucent Technologies, Ericsson Pakistan Limited, Huawei
Technologies Pakistan and ZTE Pakistan are very well-known globally for their technical expertise and
professionalism. The professionals representing their partners will help CMPak achieve its goals in the
shortest possible time.
Zong have completed acquisition of 100% shares of ZONG. US $ 723 million worth of FDI has already
been made in the country and on top of that Theyll be investing millions of dollars in the future.
Let me reiterate their resolve and uncompromising commitment that China Mobile is here to stay which is
why They are planning to continuously invest to improve their network coverage and quality. China Mobile
has the resources and technical expertise to become one of the largest operators of the country. HR
Policies

It is China Mobiles part of H.R policy to retain and recruit the local employees, which would benefit both
the parties, thus they would be contributing in reducing the unemployment rate in the country by providing
new job opportunities & the opportunity of training & development.
They would make this company the most sought after in terms of human resource, network, and brand
and customer service to begin with and show all their stakeholders that They are the best professionals in
this industry and They mean business.
To support and assist the local employees, CMPak would be calling in Chinese experts who possess a
rich experience in the relevant fields.
Moreover, on the front of Corporate Social Responsibility, They as a team owe a lot to this society and
would render their support in some social development projects. They will also show and announce about
their environment friendly Towers as soon as possible.
Their plans aim to make this company grow very rapidly in areas like human capital, brand, technology,
distribution and services etc. However, none of these plans can be achieved without a strong national
workforce in Pakistan.
Career
ZONG is committed on attracting and retaining the best human resource from all over Pakistan. Its also
provides a working environment which satisfies the professional and personal needs of its employees.
Strategic Planning
The Company has set up a strategic management system to formulate the company s
five - year development plan and three-year strategic plan, which includes five management modules:

the strategic planning.
Core Values
The Company upholds its core value in earnest, namely Responsibility Makes Perfection. With
Communicate a Boundless World and Construct an Information Society as its mission, the Company

two-fold meaning of "sincerity" and "integrity" in ancient Chinese culture. Sincerity is the starting-off point

Sales Department
Marketing and sales departments are two departments which leads organization to success or failure.
The sales department of CMPak is working very hard to get the market share and lead the organization to
success. There are six Zonal and assistant managers with their own teams. These managers are trying
their level best to make the work force work for the best of organization. The work force consists of RSOs
and DSOs.
Structure of Sale Department
At the top of the sales department there is GM sales, then comes Head or Sales department, then
Regional

Manager Sales and Distribution, then Zonal Managers/ Assistant Managers who control RSOs and
DSOs.
HIERARCHY OF SALES DEPARTMENT
GM Sales
Head Sales
RSOs
Assistant Manager Sales
Zonal Manager Sales
Reginal Manager Sales and Dsitribution
DSOs
Culture (Internal Environment)
The internal environment of the organization is very friendly. Like working in sales department I have
noticed that the monthly targets are given to the Regional Manager Sales and Distribution. The RMD
divides the targets amongst the ASM with mutual consent. They sit together and device methods by which
they will divide targets amongst them. There is no restriction on the division of targets from the higher
management.
Also one dont have to follow the managerial hierarchy for certain situations. Like being an internee I had
to discus my proposals with my concerned manager but I was not bounded I can directly discuss that
proposal to the Regional Manager or even the Head of Sales.
Also the Assistant managers and Zonal Managers have full autonomy on controlling their respective
teams. There is no bound form the management on how to control the teams they are concerned about
the results. That is why I have even seen managers in dual moods sometimes they are very lenient with
the team members and some times they seems to be very harsh on them. Because sales is target
oriented job and they have to achieve the targets.
Customers and Market
CMPak exist to serve both the corporate and non corporate clients. Currently the CMPak is following the
same strategy which is adopted in China i.e. Cater the Youth. Because according to CMPak if you make
youth a user of your services it will have a long term impact like greater level of Loyalty. Also youth as we
all know are techies so by new innovative services it is easy for the company to capture the segment
comprises of Youth.
But the company hasnt limited itself to youth only. Right now the company is investing a lot on expanding
the network by installing 2500 BTS by the end of this year this is done not to increase the network
capacity of CMPak but also to change the perception of the people which they hold toward Zong i.e. The
network is not good.
Customer Services
Customer Services department exists to serve you. Any queries you may have about getting a
connection, account information, coverage details, information about their franchises, value added
services, SMS information, anything at all you that you want to know about them and their services.
Three Factors Drive Business Growth
New

Traffic
Initially ZONG was in the question marks where they got mediocre size
investments and were unable to convert to cash cows.
This amount of investment was actually a waste of money as they should either
have received enough investment for their SBUs in order to achieve real market

dominance and become cash cows which of course was impossible in case of
ZONG which had very few finances.
According to the new strategy, it is our aim to place ZONG in the matrix as cash
cows which have high market share with a low growth rate.
The most important factor for keeping the company in this grid is that, here we
have to invest low and the return on investment is comparatively high.
Markets
ZONG Coverage
ZONG is constantly expanding its coverage, adding new cities and regions to its country-wide network.
Powered by their commitment to setting new service standards, the ZONG network coverage extend up
to 600 cities and towns of Pakistan.
Where ever you go, we will follow you!

Managerial View
Planning Process and Related Issues
As I was in sales department I will discuss the planning according to sales department. All the planning
was done by higher management. The targets was set by the higher management and then given to the
regional manager. The regional manager then setup a meeting with the ASMs and zonal managers to
discuss about those sales targets and how to divide targets amongst the managers. They develop certain
formulas on the basis of which they allocate targets to the managers. Planning Tools and Techniques
Sales targets were set on monthly basis and the technique used is the review of previous months
performance and achievement of targets. Certain formulas were developed to allocate fair targets to the
managers. Who then try their best to achieve those targets through their respective teams.

In my internship the style of manager, regional manager and head of sales was more likely laisez-fair and
sometimes democratic. They never used to be dictator.
Controlling
Managers and above have the controlling authorities in CMPak. A manager can control his sales force
using any means being lenient with them and even harsh sometimes. Every higher authority can control
the subordinates.
Controlling Against Fraud and Illegal Actions
Sales managers try to control the fraud and illegal actions by compelling the sales force to have the copy
of N.I.C of each customer to which they sell a connection. Then a complete form is filled by the sales
officer with customer details and then submitted to record office of organization.

Structural Dimensions
Formalization
Formalization is the degree to which the jobs within the organization are standardized. Job are
standardizes in CMPak. Document exists for every activity. Like in sales promotion activities a complete
proposal has to be made in order to get approval on that proposal.
Specialization
Specialization is the degree to which organizational tasks are subdivided into separate jobs. Different
department exist in CMPak which refers to specialization. There are separate departments for Human
Resources, Marketing, Sales, Finance, Engineering etc. Every department is concerned with his assigned
task.
Hierarchy Of Authority
Centralization
Centralization is the extent to which the decision making is concentrated at a single point in the
organization. In CMPak the main decision making is concentrated at higher levels of management, they
dictate the goals to achieve but it depends on manager sales and sales force how they achieve it.

Professionalism
Work staff is highly educated and experience according to their post or job title. Staff has both formal
education and job experience. The staff is regularly provided with extensive training.
Personnel Ratio
Most of the CMPak comprises of male staff. There are certain positions held by females like HR Manager
is a female.
Contxtual Dimensions
Size
Size can be counted as number of employees in the organization or through total assets or total sales. As
CMPak has recently acquired PAKTEL and lot of restructuring is going on so its very difficult to have an
exact number of employees. Approx 230 employees are there in Lahore office.
Technology
Technology plays a key role in producing quality services to its customers. At CMPak technology is
properly installed in order to ensure efficiency and quality in the services offered. Technologies include

mobile towers, switches, telephones, fax machines, computers, internet, intranet, printers, photo copy
machines etc.
External Environment
External environment plays a major role in the development and working of any industry. At CMPak
external environment that can effect the organizations operations are the services offered by competitors,
regulation by PTA etc.
Culture
CMPak has a good corporate culture. Sales managers have least politics amongst them. Employees care
for each other.
Goals And Strategy
Mobile communication is now a utility. You need your mobile phone. ZONG team seeks to meet
consumers all communication needs by providing the best technology at an affordable price. They give
you: Coverage - at an affordable price Convenience - at an affordable price Connectivity - at an affordable
price
It would be their prime objective to be rated as the best cellular service provider in Pakistan by expanding
their service area to every corner of the country which is to be backed by excellent after-sales service.
As a major step towards achieving their goal of expanding their services rapidly They have decided to
award the expansion contract to four different vendors in Pakistan. They will be their strategic partners in
a contract which is worth US $ 500 million to execute the most aggressive expansion plan in the history of
the country. In the coming years
They plan to invest in the areas of building new network capacity of more than 20 million customer base
and other infrastructure. These high ambitions would certainly lead us to become a major force in the
development of telecom industry in Pakistan.
We know that their partners Alcatel-Lucent Technologies, Ericsson Pakistan Limited, Huawei
Technologies Pakistan and ZTE Pakistan are very well-known globally for their technical expertise and
professionalism. The professionals representing their partners will help CMPak achieve its goals in the
shortest possible time.
As you are aware their new company name now is CMPak Limited and They have completed acquisition
of 100% shares of ZONG. US $ 723 million worth of FDI has already been made in the country and on top
of that well be investing millions of dollars in the future.
Let me reiterate their resolve and uncompromising commitment that China Mobile is here to stay which is
why They are planning to continuously invest to improve their network coverage and quality. China Mobile
has the resources and technical expertise to become one of the largest operators of the country.
It is China Mobiles part of H.R policy to retain and recruit the local employees, which would benefit both
the parties, thus They would be contributing in reducing the unemployment rate in the country by
providing new job opportunities & the opportunity of training & development.
They would make this company the most sought after in terms of human resource, network, brand and
customer service to begin with and show all their stakeholders that They are the best professionals in this
industry and They mean business.
To support and assist the local employees, CMPak would be calling in Chinese experts who possess a
rich experience in the relevant fields.
Moreover, on the front of Corporate Social Responsibility, They as a team owe a lot to this society and
would render their support in some social development projects. They will also show and announce about
their environment friendly Towers as soon as possible.
Their plans aim to make this company grow very rapidly in areas like human capital, brand, technology,
distribution and services etc. However, none of these plans can be achieved without a strong national
workforce in Pakistan.
Dynamic Process Management

Decision Making
At CMPak the decision making is centralized at top level. The regional manager sales and distribution is
informed with the decisions made by top management and then he is responsible to communicate it to the
subordinates.
Power And Politics
Every employee has his relevant power. Like sales manager can control his sales force by any means
without consulting with regional manager.
Politics is a part of every organization some faces less some faces more. During my stay I didnt saw
much politics amongst sales managers.

Micro Environment
Micro environment revolves around organizations internal affairs. Micro environment revolves around
organizational strengths and weaknesses, conflict of employees, relationship/ bargain power of suppliers
and retailers, supply chain management.
In CMPak the organization is not very prone to its internal environment. The only thing which is creating
hurdle is the customers perception towards organization because of least network support.
The organizations telecom network and bad word of mouth is the main weakness company is having
right now.
The major strength of CMPak is organization is having a lot of budget to survive in the long run. CMPak is
claiming that it has budget for next 10 years which none of the existing company is having. Telenor is at
second place with five years budget in hand.
Customers
Right now the customers are reluctant to subscribe to CMPak because of negative word of mouth.
Employees
There is lot of restructuring going on in the organization. Before the acquisition of CMPak there were lot of
down sizing in the organization and the nos. of employees were very limited. Now the organization is
trying to hire skilled work force but the top management of different organization which CMPak is trying to
hire is still thinking to join the drowning ship.
Suppliers
CMPak has developed good relationship with the suppliers. Normally the work is done in time.
Retailers
Retailers are showing resistance on selling CMPaks connections because they say that there is no
market demand for CMPaks connections. Now the organization is trying to convince them by giving
certain incentives o them.
Macro Environment
Macro environment revolves around the external environment of the organization. It includes all the
competitors, governmental policies, rules, regulations etc in short any kind of external situations which are
out of control of organization contributes to organizations external environment. Macro environment can
produce both opportunities and threats.
Opportunities
The Major opportunity for the company is it is the richest telecom sector company in Pakistan. It has a
budget for next ten years. Secondly right now only 1.3rd of Pakistani population is cell phone user so 2
segments are still left to exploit so CMPak is not too late to get into the market. CMPak has good chance
to capture the market. Also with big budget CMPak is trying to hire many skilled management and work
force from the major companies of Pakistan.
Threats

The main threat is the market share of existing companies. Also companies like Telenor are utilizing its
budget very efficiently which can hider the way to success. Last but not the least the negative word of
mouth of Paktel in customers mind.
Competitors
Every industry is surrounded with the threat of competitors. Competitors normally try to hinder ones way
to success and same is the case in Telecom sector. Right now every telecom company is using massive
advertisements. Also the existing companies have quite a good share of market and CMPak has to travel
a long way in order to catch with them.
Governmental Rules/ Regulations
Governmental policies has a big impact on every industry same is the case with telecom sector with the
deregulation of telecom sector the industry becomes very competitive. The companies are continuously
lowering the call rates also providing innovative features at the same time.
There are many rules, regulations and procedures by the Government of Pakistan, Ministry of Science
and Technology, IT and Telecom Division which telecom companies have to follow. Like getting the
license, modification to the license, transfer of license, Interconnection between compatible systems etc.
Marketing Mix
Product
Product is known to be the heart of marketing mix. As this is the one for which price, placement and
promotion is done. CMPak is a service sector organization providing cell phone services to it customers.
CMPak is providing both Pre and Post pay services with GSM network. Keeping the needs of consumers
in mind CMPak is coming up with new packages to cater different segments of market e.g. youth,
students etc.
CMPak has launched two main packages Power Package and Party Time. Power package with low
call rates and party time with free SMS facility on the deduction of specific amount. Perfectly for students
and youth.
Pricing
Pricing is a very major issue considering a product. Price is normally associated with the quality whereas
price should be such which is affordable for target consumers.
CMPak recognizes this fact and is providing much lesser rates for different services comparing to other
companies. After the acquisition CMPak has launched two main packages Power Package and Party
Time. Power package with low call rates and party time with free SMS facility on the deduction of specific
amount. The above
mention packages have 30 second billing and when comparing with other companies the rates are much
cheaper.
Distribution
CMPak has its own sales force which provides retail and direct sale services.
Every sales manager has its own assigned area and sales force. There are two categories of sales force
at CMPak RSO and DSO. RSO stands for Retail Sales Officer. The duty is to manage sales through
retail out let and franchises. Whereas DSO stands for Direct Sales Officer, the duty of DSO is to sell the
service direct to the customer; CMPak is doing this by putting stalls at several locations of Pakistan or
managing events. Every manager is responsible to manage sales in his area. DSO is the position which I
am holding at CMPak.
Promotion
Promotion was the area on which I am really working on my internship. My responsibility is to promote the
two packages Part Time and Power Package through different sales promotion activities. To promote
the brand and package, I with my team made a marketing and sales plan for CMPak. Also They worked
on several proposals for sales promotion like They arranged a two days activity at STEP Institute, New
Muslim town. In their own department They arranged an event which was having Quiz Competition, SMS
Competition, and Dares etc on 16th of Aug, 2007. There were also many proposals on which They
planned to work but were not possible due to several constraints.

They supported their sales promotion activities with various gifts and giveaways which were provided to
us by CMPaks management. The gift includes IPODS, Flasks, FM Radios, Parker Pens, T-Shirts, and
Caps etc. They gave two IPODS in the activity held on 16th of Aug, 2007 in their department.
Marketing Research
Marketing research is conducted by the sales force of CMPak on monthly basis. Sales force provides
information about the market to the management and then management reviews it.
In my internship I also developed a marketing research questionnaire which can provide valuable
information to CMPak.
Review, Conclusion & Recommendations
STRENGTHS Richest company of telecom sector in Pakistan Largest company of China on the basis of
subscribers. Plans of aggressive network expansion
WEAKNESSES Comparatively late entrant in market. Currently negative word of mouth in consumers
mind. Weak network support. Less man power.
OPPORTUNITIES Only 1/3rd of Pakistani population is cell phone user so 2/3rd segments are still left to
THREATS Competitors. Governmental policies.
exploit. Growing trend of mobile telephony.
Conclusion
After spending time with organization I have figured out that CMPak is quite optimistic about its growth
and success. It seems like management has get rid of the old and negative thoughts of ZONG and putting
their maximum effort for CMPaks success.
The management has a pre planned level of achievement which they say that they will achieve that in the
year 2011. Also the management seems like they are expecting some great promotions in the mean time
every one has crossed fingers.
Also the way company has planned to expand the network it seems like the organization will really
achieve their targets. They have planned to install 5500 BTS by the en of this year. Till now they have
installed 2950 BTS. The management said that you yourself will see the difference by the end of this year.
So over all in my view the aggressiveness of company shows that it will soon become a leading cell
phone operator of country.
Recommendations
After working with the organization I would like to recommend certain things to the company.
Get rid of the ZONG policies as soon as possible. They must analyze the following for better generation of
revenues They suggested following tag lines for CMPak
Give maximum coverage to users
Communication Reinvented
Pioneers are back
Give quality services Try to co-brand with some IT-based company like Microsoft (Acer) that
will surely add value and prestige to the products and services of
CMPak especially w.r.t advanced technologies.
In future the company can collaborate with banks in order that the customers/users can directly refill their
credits or can pay bills through the ATM machines.
The company can go for kiosk marketing at places like airports, shopping malls and centers. This
marketing technique will promote the brand image.
