Organization analysis:-
For analysis the organization I have choose that where’s it standing from the business point of
view today. Basically analysis also consists on different factors such as environment which
consists of actors and forces which are effective able to ma management abilities and also
maintain the relationship with target customer it also to provide the solution to the customer in
the form of products or services to maintain the healthy relationship. It also has further divided
into groups.
1.internal environment
2.external environment
1.Internal environment:-
It is given the name of culture it manages the decision making factors within the institution with
collaboration it work internally as a whole it can be positive or negative. As I have been doing
internship in SAP (Shaheen Airport services).
2.External Environmental:-
It influence the decisions it has further two groups.
Athar(70074605)
1.micro environmental
2.macro environmental factors
Micro environmental factor are the factors which are which on small scales influence the
business decisions directly in short term whereas macro environmental factors they influence on
long term decision on large scale indirectly.
Here we 1st discuss about the macro environmental factor in detail as per the chosen internship
topic SAP.
The company:-
Shaheen foundation is an airline company which work for Pakistan organization of the air force.
It has 6 airport all over Pakistan and is also the largest industry. It was established in 1982 and
got a great success by providing people with safe and cost effective quality services for
customers. It has very good management facilities and security on airport such as aircraft
handling and flight dispatch, load and ULD control, ramp and cleaning services. Today SAP has
been working so successfully that it is handling 10 schedule airlines with 11,000 flight annually.
Shaheen is a member of IATA's Ground handling council. SAPS is proud to place on record for
an above 96% on time performance.
Athar(70074605)
5.Peshawar Bacha Khan International Airport
6.Quetta Airport
Marketing intermediaries:-
Yes SAP also work as in indirect and direct both intermediaries for the supply of products.
The lines are blurring between sales channels and marketing platforms (e.g., OTAs). Search
engines, social media, crowd sourcing, and mobile are redefining the consumer journey,
particularly in the discover and research phases. Consumers can now book directly from travel
metasearch portals that were once strictly for research. Moreover, as the consumer journey
becomes more digital and complex, there are more opportunities for suppliers to market across
multiple touch points. Emirates, for example, uses Instagram posts that tout premium products
and encourage consumers to imagine dream destinations. Finding the right touch points between
social media and direct sales channels will be important for airlines.
New digital technologies also allow airlines to reach consumers in real time during their research
phase. Airlines can further personalize the travel experience. TAM, for example, used Facebook
profiles to personalize inflight magazines placed on the seat of each passenger to celebrate the
35th anniversary of its Sao Paulo to Milan route. Each cover bore a different passenger’s photo
and name, in accordance with the seat assignments, and content was geared toward each
individual’s interests and life experiences. Airlines need to improve their specific destination
content and inspirational media if they are to stay relevant in the search/inspiration part of a
consumer’s travel booking journey.
Airlines can benefit from this only if they undertake three major initiatives within a holistic
strategy enabled by technology. They have to transform their travel distribution model in both
direct and indirect channels. They must pursue closer partnerships with channel, content, and
technology players. Finally, they should enhance internal capabilities (operating model,
processes, skills, and technology) to capture the opportunities of the new distribution trends and
so become centred on customers in their organizational setup. In particular, airlines need to
adeptly manage digital innovation and use these technologies to improve areas of the business,
particularly direct channel sales, marketing, cross-selling, and dynamic pricing and inventory
management.
Customers:-
●Types of customers
1-consumer customer
2-business customers
3-reseller markets
Athar(70074605)
4-government markets
5-international marketers
Three global trends are reshaping travel distribution business models and threaten to weaken the
connection between airlines and their customers. These trends are shifting customer behaviour
on both retail and business side changing dynamics within direct and indirect sales channels, and
the rise of digital technologies. The consumer trends involve an increasing use of online channels
for search and booking, the use of multiple devices, and the growing popularity of social media.
Meanwhile, changing dynamics within direct and indirect sales channels.
● online travel agents, traditional travel agents, and travel management companies
●offer opportunities and pitfalls for airlines.
Airlines can benefit from this only if they undertake three major initiatives within a holistic
strategy enabled by technology. They have to transform their travel distribution model in both
direct and indirect channels. They must pursue closer partnerships with channel, content, and
technology players. Finally, they should enhance internal capabilities (operating model,
processes, skills, and technology) to capture the opportunities of the new distribution trends and
so become centred on customers in their organizational setup. In particular, airlines need to
adeptly manage digital innovation
Environmental factor:-
●Point 6 public further has 7 types.
Financial public:-
This is directly linked with the company which can influence the decisions of SAP.
This is a factor which is interrelated with company funding and this is done by people. People
also effect the campiness abilities to take loans and favourable payments. This determine how
the customer or other publics perceive the business. And this also make sure that it doesn't
influence the company negatively.
Media factor:-
Its the mode of communication which carry news feature and editorial services they delivers the
news to people with in the few seconds.
It have different medium of delivering the news such as:
●YouTube
●Instagram
●Facebook
Athar(70074605)
So the company needs to built up the very strong relationship with mass communication this also
help us survive compactly. It can be negative if Healthy relationship are not built up and it has a
great impact on the company the business level can go down because media has the power to
show all the hidden truth of anything too. We can invest so much money and benefit out of this
and Shaheen airways has also strong relationships as very few number of accidents and the
mishap has been in the front of viewers
Government public:-
●It passes the legislation and law they can put restrictions on the company action
●It also municipality FINAS and other government bodies
Citizen public:-
●Includes the minority group that can question the company and put them into spotlight.
Local public:-
●Communication organizations that question the company that impacts the company are
responsible for local area and their actions
General public:-

●It consist population at large
Internal public:-
●It is the public which deal within the company and organizations the construction work of the
company product. In this company the workers rights are given.
●It has a positive attitude spill over external public.
Economic environment:-
●This factor effect the Power of buying and spreading patterns
Athar(70074605)
●It show the influence of customers spend their money
Natural environment:-
These are the requirements of the company that also affect the marketing activity they are the
natural useful material needed as input
●Shortage of minerals resource will effect the price of products
●Increased population
●Government should intervene the production activity and save endangered environment
●Increased government intervention
●Happen in natural resource management
●Logging activity may reduce timber supply
Technology environment:-

●Technology help a company to increase its productivity
●Company should pay close attention towards technology so they don’t have negative impact on
the economy
●Political and social environment
●It influence the law government agencies and rights of individuals in given society
●Marketers should be aware of the law and rules and should also follow them and give the
impose taxes
Culture Environment:-
●Some persistent values like core values cannot be changed which secondary can be changed
●All forces and institutions that effect the basic value, perception and behaviour
Proactive Approach:-
●Company take aggressive action to effect the public and forces
Athar(70074605)
●Companies even hire lobbyist to influence legislation affecting their industry and stage media
event to gain favourable press coverage
Reactive approach:-
●The company must control the marketing environment on which they react and adapt
●They analyse the force and design the strategies
●To avoid threats.
BCG matrix:-
BCG matrix contain four types
STAR:-
Star is actually the Turing point of a business where it determine the market share on the same
wavelength otherwise it will become a cash cow.
●Heading with the example of SAP
●It needs to keep the high quality management in the same way that reach it to campiness
success.
●SAP needs to provide with the same high quality services
CASH COWS:-
Athar(70074605)
They are the foundation of the company and often of yesterday star. They generate more cash
than required. They are located in an instantly that is mature not growing or declining. More
profit is extracts from the source in cash cows.
●Heading with the example of SAP
●SAP has its own material manufacturing companies with that it has more profit than buying
from outside.
●SAP is only private limited company and ground handling services.
DOG:-
According to the BCG matrix dog come in the 4th quadrant of it tells that their low growth and
low market rate. They actually the cash trap high cost and low quality. Business is situated at a
declining stage.
●Heading with the example of SAP
●SAP as come to its declining when CAA was introduced
●Because it provided students with free internship whereas SAP it paid so fewer number of
students comes here.

and unloading of the aircraft, and the transfer of cargo between the storage facilities and land
transport
.●For outbound cargo, the preparation includes consolidation of cargo, building up of the air
cargo pallets and containers, inspection and documentation.
●For inbound cargo, the preparation includes customs and other regulatory procedures, as well
as deconsolidation.
●For transhipment cargo, the operation is generally limited to unloading, reconsolidating, and
reloading the cargo but can be as simple as a direct transfer between aircraft. Although air cargo
ideally remains in the airport for a relatively short time, it is necessary to provide storage
facilities. Bonded facilities are required for imports and international transhipment cargo.
●For perishable cargoes, it is necessary to provide cold rooms.
●For outbound cargo it is necessary to provide X-ray scanners to inspect the cargo.
●Since most air cargo is low density, most of the cargo is stored on racks, preferably in large
open warehouses with high ceilings. The storage areas must be equipped with loading docks on
the landside to allow for rapid movement of goods to and from trucks.
● Most airports also provide offices near the warehouses for the airlines and forwarders to
receive/deliver cargo and prepare shipping documents, and for customs to clear import and
export cargo.

Description of the internship project:-
I have done my internship in SAP in the cargo department. My basic purpose in the cargo
department was to access the documentation process. During my duration I have done small
activities for example I visit many departments there like in cargo department I determine the
cargo handling process. In this process I feel how the employees use their vehicles, what kind of
vehicles they use during storage of cargo, What was there process of import and export, what
was the time limit. During my internship I also visit in passenger and baggage handling
department. There I saw the process of check in and boarding and arriving passengers, the
screening of the baggage and how many stages a passenger passed. There I saw the key
connection between the employees and passenger like how they check the passenger during all
the stages. There I saw one thing that is very important according to me was that in case of lost
of the baggage the customer care staff was very keen to register the complain and have a very
quick respond reaction.

Project description:-
As I mentioned above I work in the cargo department during my internship. I work under the
supervision of Ms.Muhammad ali. They were very professional and so skilful. I learn lot of
things from them.
Project title:-
Critical review of the cargo documentation process in Shaheen airport services at
ALLAMA Iqbal international airport in Lahore Pakistan.
Project design:-
It was a project of two members. Our project was to determine the process in the cargo
department and all there activities performed during cargo operations and in ramp area. During
our project in the cargo department we visited two to three days in the ramp area we personally
feel that how the process of ramp handling is performed . We observe that the time departure of
the flight is on time and they are deployed proper ground support equipment and sufficient
trained manpower. We observe that in the cargo department during loading and off loading the
vehicles that was used by going handling staff were good standards and they were follow the
standard operational procedure. There were almost 20 to 30 staff were working during this
procedure of loading and off loading. The time that used during loading and off loading was
taken almost two hours. Some dollies were also used for the transportation of baggage, mail
bags, cargo cartons between the aircraft and terminal. In the cargo department we saw how the
documentation process was done. We formally interview many employees that was working
there. We gather some data from them compile it and derive our results.
Key findings:-
As we were two members we divided our project intro different parts as we decide that we first
visit our primary department observe all the process there and then we visit other departments.
During our visit we observe the following things:
Positive things:-
●In each department the staff was very well dressed and well mannered.
●The staff main goal was primary focused on the customer satisfaction.
●The staff attraction amongst the customer was good and the behaviour was adequate.
●The staff was doing there work with fully dedication.They were fully trained and professionals.
Athar(70074605)
●The shopkeeper was well educated.
●We met with some customers for their reviews and they gave us some feedback and that was
acceptable and up to the mark.
Negative things:-
As I mentioned some positivity about SAPS but in every organization there are some cynicism
like SAPS:
●The price of the product was so high according to there standards and quality.
●The hygienic conditions was not at required standard.
●Some vehicles that were used at the ramp was so old.
●In the passenger and baggage handling department there was lack of discipline.
●In the catering services there were lack of variety in the meal.
Recommendation:-
●First of all SAPS needs to improve the quality of there products. As SAPS offers paid
internship so they need to improve there standards. Mostly students do there internships in other
organizations as some are free and some charging less rather than SAPS. The basic benefit of
improving there services is that many students are come back to SAPS for internship that are
totally beneficial for the organization.
●SAPS needs to develop a proper mechanism for improving there quality management services.
●SAPS needs to improve there documentation process because it was very slow.
●SAPS needs to focus on the discipline in the baggage handling department .

●Internship experience:-
I have been working in SAPS as an internees. The reason for choosing SAPS was that it is the
biggest private sector in Pakistan that provide many services. As there are companies for
example Pakistan civil aviation authority, Pakistan international airline and many other
companies provide Internship but I decided to work in SAPS because of it’s great reputation,
facilities and friendly environment. As I was working there I was not a permanent employee of
the company but in all this period of time I learn so many things that help me in gaining my
skills and knowledge about many departments.
During my work I keep one thing in my mind that its my opportunity to acquire as many skills I
can and this will help me in my future. All the management staff in each department helped ma a
lot. They were very cooperative and they guided me during all this period. During my work they
never let me feel that I am just a internee as they treated me like their employee. This was the
first time I really feel that I am doing some practical work and gaining something. During all my
time there I tried so hard to perform my duties and tasks that was given to me with my
concentration and full responsibility.
Athar(70074605)
The key to success is to do the work properly on time. For the job, we should be sensitive to any
situation. These are the same types of working environments as not for all areas, but we have to
be flexible for any working environment. There we have to be very cautious of thought when
implementing the world as in aviation we have to take decisions very carefully so consider a lot
of time and then make a decision. I had also learned to be sensitive so that if I had made some
mistake and others mentioned it to me, I would have to consider it because we are wrong
somewhere and should give chance to others to make it correct.

cleared to them it will cause nothing to gain. The main thing is to learn about the things that
should have to learn first and study that thing so that it will be easy to understand at the time of
work. Make sure about the performance of the students during the period of the internship so that
it helps them in highlighting the areas of weakness of both students and colleagues.
