Company Profile

Back ground

The history of Fauji Foundation dates back to 1945, when a Post War Services
Reconstruction Fund (PWSRF) was established for Indian War Veterans who served the
British Crown during WW-II. At the time of partition (1947) when Pakistan came into being,
the balance fund was transferred to Pakistan in the proportion of its post WW-II veterans. Till
1953, the fund remained in the custody of the civilian Government, when in 1954 it was
transferred to the Army.

The Army instead of disbursing the balance fund of about Rs 18.2 millions (USD 0.2 million)
among the beneficiaries, invested it in establishing a Textile Mill. Later from the income of
the textile mill, it established first 50 bedded TB hospital at Rawalpindi.

Fauji foundation is proud that from Rs 18.2 million in 1953, it today runs more than 18
industries, the income from which is utilized to serve about 9 million beneficiaries (5 % of
country's population). Generally, more than 80 percent of the income goes towards the
welfare activities every year.

Sona Urea is the most concentrated solid, straight nitrogenous and most
widely used fertilizer in the country. Mostly it is manufactured in the form of
prills, but FFC is producing in prilled as well as granular forms. Prilled and
granular fertilizers are white in color, free flowing, readily soluble in water
and both contain 46% Nitrogen. Because of its high solubility, it is suitable
for solution fetilizers and foliar application. Urea is the best suited to our soils

2. DAP

 Sona DAP is the most concentrated phosphatic fertilizer containing


46% P2O5 and 18% Nitrogen. From nutrients' concentration point
of view, it has got the highest quantity of total nutrients in a 50 KG
bag i.e. 32 KG of nutrients / bag. The highest concentration of plant
nutrients in a bag helps saving costs of transportation, handling,
storage and application. It is the widely used phosphatic fertilizer in the world as well as
Pakistan. The solubility of DAP is more than 95%, which is highest among the phosphatic
fertilizers available in the country. Due to high solubility it can also be used through
fertigation as well as by foliar application. Its nitrogen to phosphoris ratio (1: 2.5) makes it an
ideal fertilizer for Basal application to meet the initial requirement of most of the crops.
Having an ultimate acidic effect on the soil, it is well suited for our alkaline soils. Its salient
characteristics are listed below:

Nitrogen(%) 18
P2O5 (%) 46
Crushing Strength (Kg) 6
Size (mm) 2~4
Moisture (%) < 0.7

3. FFC SOP

This fertilizer is an important source of Potash, which is a quality


nutrient for production of crops especially fruits and vegetables.
Potash is an important nutrient for activation of enzymes in the
16

plant body and helps increasing sugar and starch contents. Potash
Page

improves the resistance of the plants against pests, diseases and


stresses like water / frost injury etc. FFC SOP contains 50% K20
in addition to 18% sulfur, which is also an important nutrient
especially for oil seed crops and it also has an ameliorating effect
on salt-affected soils. As readily soluble in water so it can be used through fertigation as well
as foliar application. SOP is well suited fertilizer for all types of crops and soil. Use of

potassic fertilizer in Pakistan is minimal, which needs to be promoted for qualitative as well
as quantitative crop production.

4. SONA BORON

Sona Boron is a crystalline fertilizer in the form of Sodium


Tetra Borate Decahydrate in 3 Kg packing. It  is an essential
micronutrient required for plant nutrition, which pays a vital
role in a number of growth processes especially new cell
development, pollination, fruit/seed setting, translocation of
sugars, starches, nitrogen and phosphorous, nodule formation
in legumes and regulation of carbohydrate metabolism. Boron deficiency results in curled

Porter’s Competitive Forces Model:


Porter’s Competitive Forces model analyzes the nature and intensity of competition in a
given industry in terms of five major forces.

•Rivalry:
FaujiFertilizer has rivalry with the other fertilizer manufacturing companies in the fertilizer In
dustry of Pakistan. The companies that offer rivalry to FFC are
I. .Engro Chemical
II. Dawood Hercules
III. Pak Arab Fertilizer
Various competitive tactics among rivals lower prices that can be raise costs of doing
business.

•Bargaining Power of Customers:


At Fauji Fertilizer Limited there is no customer power of bargaining, because the company is
already giving good quality at a reasonable rate.

•Bargaining Power of Suppliers:

In the fertilizer industry of Pakistan there is comparison between the rivals in prices. But as
Fauji Fertilizer is not an autonomous body in manufacturing their products so they face
encounter bargaining power of suppliers.

•Threat of substitute products:


Fauji Fertilizer as threat from their rivals in the industry,
but they maintain their quality standards and manufacturing status at a relatively affordable
rate.

Hofstede’s Model of Cultural dimension


Institute of Banking and Finance
Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan MBA (HRM) 4th
What About Pakistan
If we explore Pakistani culture through the lens of the 6-D Model©, we can get a good
overview of the deep drivers of Pakistani culture relative to other world cultures.

Power Distance
This dimension deals with the fact that all individuals in societies are not equal – it expresses
the attitude of the culture towards these inequalities amongst us. Power Distance is defined
as the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organisations within a
25

country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally.


Page

With an intermediate score of 55, it is not possible to determine a preference for Pakistan in
this dimension. 

Individualism
The fundamental issue addressed by this dimension is the degree of interdependence a

Institute of Banking and Finance


Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan MBA (HRM) 4th
society maintains among its members. It has to do with whether people´s self-image is
defined in terms of “I” or “We”. In Individualist societies people are supposed to look after
themselves and their direct family only. In Collectivist society’s people belong to ‘in groups’
that take care of them in exchange for loyalty.

Pakistan, with a very low score of 14, is considered a collectivistic society. This is manifest
in a close long-term commitment to the member 'group', be that a family, extended family, or
extended relationships. Loyalty in a collectivist culture is paramount, and over-rides most
other societal rules and regulations. The society fosters strong relationships where everyone
takes responsibility for fellow members of their group. In collectivist societies offence leads
to shame and loss of face, employer/employee relationships are perceived in moral terms
(like a family link), hiring and promotion decisions take account of the employee’s in-group,
management is the management of groups.

Masculinity
A high score (Masculine) on this dimension indicates that the society will be driven by
competition, achievement and success, with success being defined by the winner / best in
field – a value system that starts in school and continues throughout organizational life.
A low score (Feminine) on the dimension means that the dominant values in society are
caring for others and quality of life. A Feminine society is one where quality of life is the
sign of success and standing out from the crowd is not admirable. The fundamental issue
here is what motivates people, wanting to be the best (Masculine) or liking what you do
(Feminine).
Pakistan scores 50 on this dimension, and as this is an exactly intermediate score it cannot be
said if Pakistan has a preference to Masculinity of femininity. 
26

Uncertainty avoidance
Page

The dimension Uncertainty Avoidance has to do with the way that a society deals with the
fact that the future can never be known: should we try to control the future or just let it
happen? This ambiguity brings with it anxiety and different cultures have learnt to deal with
this anxiety in different ways.  The extent to which the members of a culture feel
threatened by ambiguous or unknown situations and have created beliefs and institutions
that try to avoid these is reflected in the UAI score.

Institute of Banking and Finance


Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan MBA (HRM) 4th
Pakistan scores 70 on this dimension and thus has a high preference for avoiding uncertainty.
Countries exhibiting high Uncertainty Avoidance maintain rigid codes of belief and
behaviour and are intolerant of unorthodox behaviour and ideas. In these cultures there is an
emotional need for rules (even if the rules never seem to work) time is money, people have an
inner urge to be busy and work hard, precision and punctuality are the norm, innovation may
be resisted, security is an important element in individual motivation.

Long Term Orientation


This dimension describes how every society has to maintain some links with its own past
while dealing with the challenges of the present and future, and societies prioritise these
two existential goals differently. Normative societies. which score low on this dimension, for
example, prefer to maintain time-honoured traditions and norms while viewing societal
change with suspicion. Those with a culture which scores high, on the other hand, take a
more pragmatic approach: they encourage thrift and efforts in modern education as a way to
prepare for the future.
With an intermediate score of 50, the culture of Pakistan cannot be said to indicate a
preference.

Indulgence
One challenge that confronts humanity, now and in the past, is the degree to which small
children are socialized. Without socialization we do not become “human”. This dimension is
defined as  the extent to which people try to control their desires and impulses, based on the
way they were raised. Relatively weak control is called “Indulgence” and relatively strong
control is called “Restraint”. Cultures can, therefore, be described as Indulgent or Restrained.
Pakistan, with an extremely low score of 0 on this dimension, can be said to be a very
27

Restrained society. Societies with a low score in this dimension have a tendency to cynicism
Page

and pessimism. Also, in contrast to Indulgent societies, Restrained societies do not put much
emphasis on leisure time and control the gratification of their desires. People with this
orientation have the perception that their actions are Restrained by social norms and feel that
indulging themselves is somewhat wrong.
