1.2Brief history of PTCL


The history of telecommunication in sub-continent is as old as our history of slavery. In the
subcontinent before independence, this department was under Indian Post & Telegraph
Department and developed a successful history.

Pakistan Post & Telegraph (P&T)


At the time of independence in 1947, the postal and telecommunication services were
performed by a single department known as Pakistan Post & Telegraph. This department
started its telephone services with only 12346 telephone lines and seven telegraph offices all
over in Pakistan. Pakistan Telecommunication Company has established in 1947 with the
Posts and Telegraph Department. All the telephone systems at that time were manual. The
department continued its business up to 1962. The first step toward reforms in the
telecommunication sector was made in 1962 when the Ayub Khan’s government decided to
split up the P&T department into two separate departments Pakistan Post and Pakistan
Telephone & Telegraph (PT&T) under the presidential ordinance. The PT&T was in fact a
civil service department under the ministerial control. The decision making power was
concentrated with the post of Director General, but the responsibilities were delegated to
General Managers and Chief Engineers. General Managers used to give directly report to the
Director General. The centralized structure of PT&T caused inefficiency in operations and
long delay in implementing decisions.
Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation (PTC)
The decade of 1990’s brought about many changes in the economic structure of Pakistan. The
government of Pakistan pursued the deregulation and liberalization policy in the production
and service industry. The major change in this regard was privatization and deregulation of
many of the departments of government of Pakistan. The objective was to reduce the burden
of the government, minimization of the bureaucratic influence and improvement of the
efficiency of these departments.
A major breakthrough in the history of telecommunication in the country occurred with the
gradual deregulation and privatization of T&T. At the first stage, Pakistan Telephone &
Telegraph Department (PT&T) was converted into Statuary Corporation that was Pakistan
Telecommunication Corporation. On December 15, 1990 the PT&T department was
transformed into Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation with a legal identity; separate
from the Government.
This change in the status introduced by the Government of Pakistan enabled PTC to move
from administrative to contractual relationship with its customers. It provided the opportunity
for the development of telecommunication facilities to an extraordinary level and also for an
increased customer satisfaction. This department started its telephone services with only
12346 telephone lines and seven telegraph offices all over in Pakistan. Pakistan
Telecommunication Company has established in 1947 with the Posts and Telegraph
Department. All the telephone systems at that time were manual. The department continued
its business up to 1962. The first step toward reforms in the telecommunication sector was
made in 1962 when the Ayub Khan’s government decided to split up the P&T department
into two separate departments Pakistan Post and Pakistan Telephone & Telegraph (PT&T)
10

under the presidential ordinance. The PT&T was in fact a civil service department under the
ministerial control. The decision making power was concentrated with the post of Director
General, but the responsibilities were delegated to General Managers and Chief Engineers.
General Managers used to give directly report to the Director General. The centralized
structure of PT&T caused inefficiency in operations and long delay in implementing
decisions.
Working under the PTC Act No XVIII of 1991, the corporation was responsible for
establishment, maintenance of corporation of telecommunication services (Telephone,
Telegraph, Telex, and Tele fax and data transmission) with in the country and establishment
of international link with all member countries of ITU (international Telecommunication
Union).
Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited
Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation (PTC) was established in December 1990 to take
over operations and functions from the Pakistan Telephone and Telegraph Department. Its
operations were governed by the Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation Act 1991. At the
same time the Government of Pakistan began to introduce private participation in the sector
and licenses were awarded for cellular, card-operated payphones, paging phones in the
country.

In 1991, Government of Pakistan first announced its intention to privatize PTC. In 1994, the
Government of Pakistan decided to test the domestic and international capital markets for
PTCL. Consequently, in the third quarter of 1994, the Government of Pakistan issued six
million 'Vouchers' exchangeable into 600 million shares (with a per value of Rs. 10 per share)
of the future PTCL in two separate placements. Later on these vouchers were converted into
PTCL shares in mid 1996. Following such conversion the Government of Pakistan owned
(88%) and 12% by private investors. This department started its telephone services with only
12346 telephone lines and seven telegraph offices all over in Pakistan. Pakistan
Telecommunication Company has established in 1947 with the Posts and Telegraph
Department. All the telephone systems at that time were manual. The department continued
its business up to 1962. The first step toward reforms in the telecommunication sector was
made in 1962 when the Ayub Khan’s government decided to split up the P&T department
into two separate departments Pakistan Post and Pakistan Telephone & Telegraph (PT&T)
under the presidential ordinance. The PT&T was in fact a civil service department under the
ministerial control. The decision making power was concentrated with the post of Director
General, but the responsibilities were delegated to General Managers and Chief Engineers.
General Managers used to give directly report to the Director General. The centralized
structure of PT&T caused inefficiency in operations and long delay in implementing
decisions.
Telecommunication has formed as an independent organization and listed on all stock
exchanges in Pakistan. PTCL has been working continuously to meet the dual challenge of
telecom development and socio-economic uplift of the country. It can be seen in progressive
measures as the establishment of company’s mobile and internet subsidiaries (Ufone and
Paknet) in 1998. The government of Pakistan pursued the deregulation and liberalization
policy in the production and service industry. The major change in this regard was
11

privatization and deregulation of many of the departments of government of Pakistan. The


objective was to reduce the burden of the government, minimization of the bureaucratic
influence and improvement of the efficiency of these departments.
A major breakthrough in the history of telecommunication in the country occurred with the
gradual deregulation and privatization of T&T. At the first stage, Pakistan Telephone &

enabled PTC to move from administrative to contractual relationship with its customers. It
provided the opportunity for the development of telecommunication facilities to an
extraordinary level and also for an increased customer satisfaction.
New Owning Company of PTCL
ETISALAT was founded on 30th August 1976. ETISALAT provides telecommunication
services to the United Arab Emirates, and is one of the leading service providers in the
Middle East. ETISALT is embracing new technologies, new philosophies and new ways of
doing business. Their new corporate identity is a mechanism for this change. ETISALAT
deals in voice communication, wireless communication and data communication. ETISALAT
was one of the first to introduce mobile telephones in the Middle East in 1982 and launched
the GSM Service in September 1994. The staff of ETISALAT has aimed at utilizing the
expertise the skills of PTCL employees in a proper way. Emirates Telecommunications
Corporation (ETISALAT) was the highest bidder for the acquisition of a 26 percent stakes in
Pakistan telecommunication limited (PTCL). This latest reflects the determination of
ETISALT to strengthen its position as the leading telecommunication in the region.
The acquisition of 26 per cent of PTCL provides ETISALAT international access to the
management of the company and pool of experienced professionals. This department started
its telephone services with only 12346 telephone lines and seven telegraph offices all over in
Pakistan. Pakistan Telecommunication Company has established in 1947 with the Posts and
Telegraph Department. All the telephone systems at that time were manual. The department
continued its business up to 1962. The first step toward reforms in the telecommunication

Director General, but the responsibilities were delegated to General Managers and Chief
Engineers. General Managers used to give directly report to the Director General. The
centralized structure of PT&T caused inefficiency in operations and long delay in
implementing decisions.
PTCL is in the process of enhancing organizational and business proficiency through vertical
and horizontal diversification which will lead to the effective and efficient achievement of the
company’s objectives.
To be leading information and communication Technology Service Provider in the region by
achieving customer satisfaction and maximising shareholders’ value. The future is unfolding
around us. In times to come, we will be the link that allows global communication. We are
12

starving towards mobilizing the world for the future. By becoming partners in innovation, we
are ready to shape a future that offers telecom services that bring us closer.

PRIVATIZATION OF PTCL
Paknet
Paknet is a fully owned subsidiary of PTCL. Technical assets and staff were carved out of
PTCL to Paknet, to help new company to meet the competitive market. The staff, thus
transferred had requisite experience and expertise in internet and data communication field.
However most of the employees have been hired from private sector. The recently
reconstituted board of directors of Paknet comprises senior and experienced professionals
nominated by PTCL board.
 Amount of investment by PTCL in Paknet Limited is of
 Rs.150, 000,000 against which 15,000,000 ordinary shares each of Rs.10 are issued.
The main source of funds of Paknet is its retained earnings. Permanent capital in the
wholly owned subsidiary of PTCL having an authorized capital of Rs.350,000,000
represented by 35,000,000 ordinary shares of Rs.10 each and paid up capital of
Rs.50,000,000.
 Paknet has the largest internet infrastructure in the country, with PoP in 44 locations
and internet access availability in over 2,000 cities and towns. Paknet made its start by
inheriting customer base of 6,000 internet users from PTCL and ended its first
financial year with 76,000customers against its target of 50,000 customers. Although
having the
 largest infrastructure, Paknet was unable to fully leverage its competitive advantage
and has incurred losses. Paknet’s revenue for the financial year ended 30 June 2006 is
Rs.169.2 million7 i.e.21% lower than last year. The company made a loss of Rs.125.9
million against Rs.42.2 million losses for the last year.
 The main reasons for this loss are poor commercial orientation, lake of network
optimization, excessive overheads and payables to PTCL amounting to Rs.47.6
million on account of accumulated co-location charges. The continuous and
increasing loses of Paknet makes its existence a question mark for PTCL because
subsidiaries are maintained to increase the profits of parent organizations.

Pak Telecom Mobile Limited (PTML)


In today’s changing trends in the telecom sector, all global telecom have strong cellular
networks either directly or through subsidiaries. While keeping this in mind there was a need
for PTCL to have its own cellular service. Pak Telecom Mobile Limited (PTML), a wholly
owned subsidiary of PTCL, was created. The company commenced its operations under the
brand name of Ufone from Islamabad in January 2001 and subsequently extended its
coverage to other cities. Presently Ufone’s network covers more than 750 cities, towns and
major highways of the country. During this last year Ufone successfully completed its US
13

$170 million phase IV network expansion consequently the asset base of the company has
increased from 20 billion to Rs.27 billion.
 As for the company’s approved business plan, Ufone was expected to close its first
financial year (ending June 30, 2001) with about 30,000 customers but Ufone
achieved over 100,000 customers by June 2001.Now during this financial year
(ending June 30, 2006) Ufone has increased its customers from 2.58 to 6.34 million.4
 Ufone provides international Roaming in partnership with more than 150 operators
across 79 countries. It has also introduced the international Roaming facility for the
prepaid customers in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Ufone at the
moment offers very attractive tariff while does not require a deposit or activation
charges. The operating performance of Ufone has been very encouraging in the face
of strong competition. Its revenue and after-tax profit rose by 87% and 61%
respectively compared to the last year and EPS increased from Rs.2.94 to Rs4.74.
 Investment of PTCL in Ufone is an amount of Rs.1, 500 millions represented by
150,000,000 ordinary shares of Rs.10 each. The main source funds for Ufone are its
retained earnings. Authorized capital of Ufone is Rs.4, 000 millions represented by
400,000,000 ordinary shares of Rs.10 each. Existing paid up capital of PTML is
Rs.2000 million represented by 200,000,000 ordinary shares of Rs.10 each.
 The world telecommunication sector is gearing towards wireless communication. The
mobile business in Pakistan has huge growth potential/ in this background of growth,
it was essential for PTCL to establish itself in the cellular phone business before the
exclusivity on the fixed telephony expires. Introduction of Ufone in the major cities of
Pakistan received an unprecedented response and with in short time already available
capacity exhausted. Ufone customer base grew by 190% from 2.58 to 7.49 million
during financial year 2007.
 Ufone is awarded a license for providing cellular services in Azad and Jammu
Kashmir and the Northern Areas. But now when two international cellular companies
have entered the market, ufone will have to improve its services quality to maintain its
market shares.
Telephone Industry of Pakistan (Tip)
Telephone industries of Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd Haripur was incorporated as a private limited
company in 1953 by Gop with the collaboration of Siemens AG.germany.the company is
managed by Board of Directors having 8 directors on the board, six from PTCL and two from

of time and with the change in technology, its capacity has increased in addition it was also
producing Contains, Exchanges, distribution boxes, Divisional Cabinets and Drop wire.
 The company was having marketing limitations and lakeluster approach
predominantly for reasons of legacy and due to its remote location.
 Paid up capital of the company is Rs.759753 million and turn over was depending
upon orders from PTCL, NTC, SCO and WAPDA.
14

 The company continued to perform poorly during the period up to April 12, 2007
when PTCL withdrew its investment from the company. During the period from July
01,2005 to April 12,2006, the company suffered a loss of Rs.114 million on revenues
of Rs.1,142
 million. PTCL management on its part has completed all formalities pertaining to
disinvestment of TIP and transfer of shares to Ministry of IT and T, Govt of Pakistan.

Well there is complexity in PTCL having more than 32000 employees. There is a very
large Hierarchy, which creates problems for the organizational activities and
coordination. The result shows slow correspondence between management and officials
at lower levels.
2.2: Policy Formulation
Consequent to the revision of International Accounting Standard on Employees Benefits (IAS
19), effective fromm1st January 2013, the accumulated remeasurement gains / losses
(unrecognized actuarial gains / losses) pertinent to various retirement benefit schemes were
accounted for retrospectively and the corresponding figures were restated. During the year
2013, new subscriber acquisition for EVO wireless broadband customer base witnessed a
growth of 88% culminating in 0.75 million subscribers at the yearend with corresponding
revenue increase of 91%. This was made possible by the continuous improvements in
existing product line supported by addition of new products. The launch of a new and
improved 3G EVO Tab with enhanced features and economical prices was one of the key
successes during the year. Additionally, new Wi-Fi devices were introduced to improve end
user experience. Promotional campaigns included the launch of a one week promotion for
EVO and EVO Wingle. Another similar promotion was run for EVO 3.1Mbps USB
customers. Both the campaigns resulted in phenomenal acquisition of new subscribers in
short span of time. Apart from these, various other promotions were also introduced from
time to time in order to attract new subscribers and provide loyalty rewards to the existing
customers. As part of loyalty rewards for PTCL’s existing EVO customers, a new promotion
was launched offering EVO to Wingle upgrades for all existing active and inactive EVO
unlimited customers. This helped your Company in offering superior value, arresting churn
and triggering win back through incentives in the form of the device upgrade at nominal
charges without any change in the existing line rents. Launch of V-fone new year promotion
helped to increase fixed wireless phone sales and ensure availability of quality CDMA sets in
the market. Price rationalization incentives were also taken for both EVO and V-fone with
the aim to boost sales for these products simultaneously. New postpaid packages for all
EVDO products were introduced, with the objective to increase post-paid customer base and
to encourage pre-paid customers to switch to postpaid billing options. Moreover, extensive

PART III
3.1: ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Organizational Structure of describes the organization's formal framework or system of the
communication and authority.
In the other words, the organization structure sets forth each principal, management the
position and helps to define authority, responsibility and accountability.
An organization chart is the essential to the development of a cost system and the cost reports
in which indicates the responsibilities of an individual for the implementing management
plans.
In the PTCL President / CEO is the head of the major functional areas. i,e the State
management, Finance, Technical, Operations, HR and Admin and the Corporate affairs. So
the Senior Executive Vice President who are the head of these units generally reports directly
to President.
The main purpose of the PTCL is allowing them to the effectively and efficiently accomplish
organizational goals and objectives. Designing an appropriate the structure means that
managers must decide how to coordinate work activities and the efforts both vertically and
horizontally.
Organization structure of the PTCL can be described as having three components like any
other organizations:
1. Complexity
2. Formalization
3. Centralization
COMPLEXITY
The term complexity refers to the amount of differentiation in an organization. The more
division of labor there is in an organization, the more vertical levels in the hierarchy and
more geographically dispersed the organization's units, the more difficult (or complex) it is to
coordinate people and their activities.
When we analysis the complexity of PTCL, there is big amount about 70,000 employees and
hierarchy is as under:
PRESIDENT  SEVP  EVP  GM/CE  DIRECTOR SE/MANAGER
etc  ENGINEER/AE/SDO/AO ES/ASSISTANT  T.TECH/CABLE JOINTER  
LM/UDC NAIBQASID/FRASH etc.
This is a very large hierarchy, which creates problems for the organizational activities and
coordination's. The result is a slow correspondence between management and officials at
25

lower levels.The Etisalat (who control the charge of PTCL) is restructuring the organization
and the work is under process.

to do. Due to these strict rules and regulations the PTCL organization's structure is more
formalized.
CENTRALIZATION
The term centralization describes where the decision making authority is.
In PTCL, organization decision making is highly centralized at upper levels of management.
Problems flow up to senior executives, who decides what, should be done.
In some cases, decentralized policy is used and decision making is delegated to lower levels
of management. Which is not correct and creates problems in the creation of long term value
aided strategies.

BUSINESS VOLUME
Fixed line connections in the country are more than 5.4 million and the cellular connections
are 12.7 millions
Currently there are 315 Payphone and over 51,000 Wireless Payphones
There are over 140 Data and Internet service providers (ISP's) to whom PTCL has provided
network infrastructure.
PTCL generated annual Revenue of over Rs. 11 billion from its private sector operating
partners.

and succession planning scenarios, set up appraisal systems, as well as plan, hold, and

planning scenarios by customizing the functions of personnel development to meet customer
requirements.

Quality Awareness Program

3.2: Impact of different Management Style on the efficiency and morale of Workers
The 'vertical hierarchy system at Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) has
created differences between the top management of the company and its lower staff.
The Nation has learnt that different departments in the company do not have any working
relationship, leading to the disturbance among the subscribers of the company.
A senior official of the company when contacted said the overall PTCL set-up is designed in
such a way that does hamper the smooth process of operations at the company.
The company has its one of the biggest customer base in Gulistan-e-Jauhar and Gulshan-e-
Iqbal, but the workers at the other branches do not like to move to these locations.
Another key factor is a communication gap among the management of the organization,
sources said.
It is learnt that each of the PTCL exchange is working under a senior engineer who is
authorized to define his own management style. This policy does not prove successful due to
a number of reasons, sources said and added that the performance of each unit is also
observed by the top management.
Under this policy there is no restriction of office timings for the employees, resultantly the
number of complaints remained pending. Sources said that the lower staff generally feels that
the top management has no technical knowledge. The PTCL Human Resource Department
claims that it is one of the best Hiring Management Systems in Pakistan, as the company has
an online Hiring System, but the employees said this system has nothing to do when it comes
to deal with the internal employees.
The sources said that HR department is not placing the right people at the right place, because
the linemen are not posted near to their residential areas, which is putting extra burden on
their pockets in terms of travel expenses.They said another failure of the HR department is
that it does not provide any motivational offers to the employees.
For example the linemen have to buy cell phones and motorbikes on their own, which most
of them cannot afford.

Part IV
4.1: Production Facilities
BROADBAND PAKISTAN

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)


DSL stands for digital subscriber line. With the help of DSL a customer can enjoy Fax and
Internet facility without keeping their normal telephone number busy. Customer can enjoy
voice chat from telephone with high speed. It is of different band width 64kbps, 128, 256 and
of1024kbps. PTCL does not sells this directly to the ultimate customers but sell it to the ISPs
like Paknet, Comsat, Micro net, Cabernet, Dancom etc. PTCL charges ISPs on the basis of
their customers. PTCL charges either Rs.217 per connection per month from ISPs when they
give connection or 5 % of the total bill for which ISPs charge their customer depending upon
the contract signed between PTCL and ISP. In the second case the ISP is required to send a
copy of all the customers’ bills to the PTCL revenue department.

34

Primary Rate Interface (PRI) has 30 channels for data transfer and PTCL charges ISPs only

Part V
MARKETING STRATEGIES
Marketing position
PTCL is a market leader in the telecommunication industry. It holds the largest market
shares. Till January 2003 PTCL had monopoly in the telecommunication industry, but in
January 2003 the deregulation policy of Government; gave an end to the PTCL monopoly.

Strategies
PTCL is following the strategy of expending the total market. It is trying to expend the total
market through new users and new uses.
Through New Users
New user’s means to convince the non users to enjoy services of PTCL. This job is done by
PTCL through
a. By lowering the installation charges: To increase the market shares and convince the
non users, PTCL lowers the installation charges for short period. The PTCL installation
charges were Rs.4000 and have lowered these to Rs.1000 in a short period.
b. Decreasing the connection time: This is another incentive to convince the non users.
PTCL give the connection within eight hours. This is also for short period of time.
c. More locations for registration: This is also short term incentive offered by PTCL.
PTCL establishes temporary tents in the different areas even on the road sides. The purpose
of this is that the customers can easily submit their forms for registration.
PTCL is increases the uses of the current products in order to increase the market shares.
PTCL phone set is not only use for calling but it is also used for

Critiques on Various Production Methods/ Products


PTCL Broadband is the leading and the most rapidly growing Broadband service in Pakistan.
Since its inception in 2007, it has completely changed and revolutionized the way people
connect to the internet. PTCL Broadband Internet has acquired over 1 Million Broadband
customers in over 2000 cities and towns across Pakistan, leading the proliferation and
awareness of Broadband services across Pakistan.

                                            
The problem with other Broadband service providers is that none of them has the kind of
expertise, resources or infrastructure that PTCL has. Because of this other Broadband Internet
service providers have their operations only in the major metropolitan cities of Pakistan from
where most of the country’s subscribers come from. On the other hand PTCL provides
Broadband Internet service in almost all the cities and towns of the country, making it a
household name.
Another privilege that the PTCL Broadband Pakistan customers enjoy is that they get a PTCL
landline number along with Internet Service through which they can simultaneously browse
the internet and make telephone calls. Before Broadband Pakistan, there was very little
awareness in the country about broadband & high speed internet services.

Period Analysis
1. Collection.System
Collection system indicates that it is comparatively favorable because of quick
collections which is very good this year as compare to base year. Although, our
collection is slower as compare to our payable but still it is favorable because last year
the collection-payment gap is better than last year. This means as compare to 2013,
this year company needs less financing to pay off its payments on time.
2. Operating.Cycle
Comparative analysis of the operation shows that if checked against standard our
collection system is good because, our collections are quick and have enough time for
payment.
But when focus on comparative study it reveals that our gap between collection and
payment has decreased, which is favorable. Operating Cycle this year is favorable all
backed by quick collections as age of inventory for both years.

3. Cash.Conversion.Cycle
The unfavorable result of cash conversion cycle is due to other negligence of
management because the other results are showing favorable results.

Internship
Purpose of the Study
The main purpose of the study in hand is together relevant information to compile internship
report on PTCL .
To observe, analyze and interpret the relevant data competently and in a useful manner.
 To work practically in an organization.
 To develop interpersonal communication.
Scope of Study
As an internee in PTCL the main focus of my study research was on general operation
procedures in one of the branches of PTCL.
Similarly different aspects of overall of PTCL are also covered in this report.
Objectives of the Study
 Discuss thorough study of PTCL
 To understand the various operations and to equip with practical knowledge of the
Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited.

Limitation of the Study

Some thing is better than nothing. No matter how efficiently a study is conducted, it cannot
be perfect in all respects. This study was conducted in accordance with the objectives of the
study. The study may not include broad explanations of facts and figures due to the nature of
the study. Secondly, the limitation, which affects the study, is the restriction on mentioning
every fact of the PTCL due to the problem of secrecy of the PTCL. In addition, the
availability of required data was a problem as all the documents and files are kept strictly
under lock and key due to their strictly confidential nature. Thirdly, the problem of short time
period also makes the analysis restricted as one cannot properly understand and thus analyze
all the operations of PTCL just a very short time of eight weeks.

Benefit of the Study


The study done will benefit the BBA (IT) students because the networking section of this
report comprehensively encompasses all respects of networking analysis. Furthermore,
PTCL GRW branch may also benefit from the recommendations made at the end of the
report.

Critical Analysis of Management Patterns in finance department

Management in practical life is very different from what we have studied in textbooks. In real
life it is much more difficult to be a manager. In PTCL there is load of work in finance
department that even it is difficult to get the time for a cup of tea. So it requires lots of skills
for a manager to compete in these circumstances.
Management in finance department of PTCL is very effective. Senior manager finance and
finance manager have enough abilities to cope with all the difficulties they are facing. Here is
strength and weakness of manager finance.

General Observations about the Sector of the Internship


PTCL is the largest and oldest company in telecommunication industry of Pakistan. It is the
mother of all the telecommunication companies in Pakistan. PTCL is the Gateway for these
companies and for the electronic media in Pakistan. All companies are using PTCL landline
phone which is very helpful for these companies’ correspondence with their clients and Head
Quarter and for nationwide and international usage. It is worthwhile place for working having
cooperative workers. There is a positive and friendly work environment with low stress level
as compared to the private organizations. Medical and accommodation facility is a big
motivating factor for employees. System is formulized and all departments are well
connected in their functions having a good upward and downward communication. But
innovation and change is very important as there is a revolutionary development in the field
of telecommunication has been taken place.

Part VIII
Recommendations for Future Interns
Following are the recommendations for the future interns:
 They should perform workplace activities in a professional manner with due regard to
the ethics
 Make weekly report of their assignments
 They should respect their co-workers, supervisors and other staff
 They should focus on networking during internship
 Should make notes of their daily tasks
 For other interns I recommend being considerate and patient.
 Select organization for internship relating to their area of interest
 This study shows that there are very few programs for career development of the
employees. People working in one section or department from years are still with the
same knowledge and style of doing job. There should be proper career planning of
employee that not only sharpens the skills of the employee & improve its efficiency
but also results in better and improved output for the organization.

 Existing system is not up to the slandered and must be replacing with an efficient one.
 A comprehensive financial information system is required to be streamlined, so that
availability of accurate data records may be insured.

 All the tool of enforcement of strict financial discipline may be under taken in order
to monitor the whole system.

 All the records should be computerized and for this purpose special computer
program should be used.
80

 Employees should be equipped with up to date IT skills and for this purpose refresher
& training courses should be designed.

 The officer may be trained to adopt company culture soft-spoken, good relations with
customers and target oriented.

 Finance and marketing offices and engineers may be sending to international


seminars/ workshops to get knowledge of new technique and procedures.

 There should be effective human resource department in order to get right people on
the right job. Promotion should be made the basis of performance rather than
seniority.

 Most of the PTCL personnel are non-professional; I suggest that the competent
authority of PTCL should be appointing professionals.

 There should be effective human resource department in order to get right people on
the right job.

 Over staffing and unbalanced distribution of employees in departments. Like all the
government and semi government institutions PTCL has also excessive staff than
required. In order to increase the efficiency of worker job is assigned to its caliper to
develop his interest in work that increase the out put and decrease the overall cost of
organization.

 Some techniques should be developed by the top level managers to start proper co-
ordination among the different departments.

 There should be a proper procedure of installing new connections to the new


customers of Broadband. Like Line testing, etc.

 Build an environment of trust with the employees in order to create an environment


where employees are more open to ideas and more willing to discuss possibilities and
problems associated with change.

 Link the change effort to a common team value in order to help employees feel they
can relate to the change effort at a personal level. This increases the desire and
motivation to change.

 Articulate and communicate a clear message about why the change effort is needed
and will help the team. This links the facts and figures supporting the change to the
team value. Communication should frequent throughout the effort.

 Establish a vision with the employees regarding the possible advantages of making
the change in order to help the team define for themselves where the change will take
them.

Conclusion
81

 Strong leadership skills


 Very Hard working
 Motivate the entire employee in finance department and get the work done.
 He is involved in everything related to finance department whether it is meeting or
audit or anything else
 Control accounts and finance activity of GTR at the same time
 Very honest in his work. He does not leave his work for others.
 Uses SAP software to control all the activities in finance department.
 Interconnected systems to keep in touch with other department of the PTCL.
 Unity among the members of finance department
 According to SM finance manager, finance department GTR is one of the best finance
departments of PTCL. Even with their shortage of staff, manager finance is still able
to get the job done
 Employees are too much dependent on finance manager, In the absence of finance
manager, employee do not work effectively
 Some of the staff is not related to the finance department. They are not specialized in
finance. But they are working in finance department. So finance manager ha to do all
the activity which are unknown to the employees
 Due to lots of work in finance department and shortage of staff there is chance of
errors in financials accounts.
 In PTCL most people are not selected on merit in the past and many people are not
willing to work. Although recently due to privatization PTCL has made lots of
changes but still there are is culture of Govt. organization there. So management has
to work in these conditions. It requires extra effort to motivate those people. However
in finance department manger still able to gets the best out his employee in these
conditions.
