CONCLUSION

HR PRACTICES AT ZONG
THANK
YOU…………
CONCLUSION
Zong offers several promotions, services and packages to cater
to different needs of a wide variety of customer base. They
have done considerable research In order to understand
customer needs of this country based on their cultural as well
as religious compulsions. For the first time users will get what
they want, rather than being made offers that suit operational
needs more than user needs. China mobile has proven itself as a
brand now and it seems like they are going to give competitive
environment to other cellular companies in coming days. The
hardest part of china mobile is to rebuild the image that had
been lost by Paktel. They are still a fairly new brand and their
customer base is limited in comparison to the market giants so
they need to be really innovative and use young/experienced
talent in order to reach the top.
