Opportunities
Expand globally Mergers(As Warid is going in loss so it is a big opportunity for Zong to acquire Warid team.) Innovation

Threats
Bargaining power of buyers New entrant Loosing customer base for service blockage on events and occasions.

Conclusion o Complains
from northern and southern region belong to maintenance flaws. oLack of strong advertising oLess number of franchises (only 272 which are not enough for huge customer base.) oLack of diversity from competitors oBusy network and get jammed on events.

 Lack

of innovative services as compare to customers. Zong does not have the proper list of customers which results in un authorized Sims and creates threats for prepay package.

Recommendations
The franchise staff should be well trained and professionals. The one of major issues that mostly customer complaint is billing issue, the system performance should be updated. Management information system is updated and Zong must use improve technological versions for the data record of customers. Increase focus on advertising campaign to fetch more and more customers.
