INTRODUCTION OF TELECOM INDUSTRY:


Telecommunication is the broadcasting of information over significant distances to communicate, with
the help of different transmission devices. The starting of communication globally took place with the
use of smoke signals and drums in Africa, The Americans and in Asian parts. Today the dynamism of
international telecommunication markets is broadly attributed to a progressive liberal principal
environment and fast technological developments, Countries have now recognized the importance of
current trends in IT, and their impacts on the economic and social lives of thepeople.

Six years into a year‘s century, the telecom sector of the world finds itself at crossroads, after changing
itself almost beyond recognition over the last 20 years. Privatization and competition are the order of
the day, with a majority of countries having adopted these policies to advance their telecom sector.
The results have been impressive: the industry has grown at an unprecedented pace. Although there has
been phenomenal growth in Pakistan, especially in cellular mobile communication and in the internet,
yet the tele- density remains almost stagnant.

Prices are likely to go up. Analysts say that Mobilink will perform best in terms of revenues in future.
They are likely to use their position by getting more aggressive in pricing. Telenor will not remain behind
in increasing prices. Experts say that they will not get as aggressive as Mobilink but they will twist
the tariffs to increase their margins. Ufone and Zong are likely to remain price efficient networks. Cellular
companies are likely to focus on new innovative services that can get popular.

PTCL will remain the dominant player in broadband market. The telecom sector of Pakistan has also
entered into a new era. The monopoly of PTCL is now over and the sector is moving towards
liberalization. While liberalization and competition are synonymous, the future scenario also poses some
challenges to the market dominance of PTCL. The company is ready to face this challenge and
maintain its revenue streams in the face of forthcoming competition.

The telecommunication industry has been the highest contributor to the government exchequer. Last year
alone, it was responsible for 133 bil ion rupees to the government‘s income in the form

27
May 27, 2021 [PTCL INTERNSHIP REPORT]

of various taxes. The telecom industry experienced a new boom in the first decade of the 21st
century. This led to massive investment in, both foreign and domestic.

With a volatile growth of Information and Communication Technologies over the past few decades
involving broadcasting, satellite communication, public telephony and IP networking the
telecommunications have observed evolutionary escalation. The Global telecommunication industry break
through was the breakup of AT&T and the privatization of British Telecom in 1984, which led to a
wave of deregulation and liberalization movement. However, in developing
countries it took time to kick off and join the deregulatory bandwagon. Having all the facts at hand,
the industry is considerably reliant on development, both infrastructural and technological.

COMPANY BACKGROUND

From the beginnings of posts and Telegraph department in 1947 and establishment of Pakistan Telephone
and Telegraph department in 1962, PTCL has been a major player in telecommunication in Pakistan.
Despite having established a network of enormous size, PTCL workings and policies have attracted
regular criticism from other smaller operators and the civil society of Pakistan. Pakistan
Telecommunication Corporation (PTC) took over operations and functions from Pakistan Telephone and
Telegraph Department under Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation Act 1991. This coincided
with the Government‘s competitive policy, encouraging private sector participation and resulting in
award of licenses for cellular, card- operated pay-phones, paging and, lately, data communication
services. Pursuing a progressive
policy, the Government in 1991, announced its plans to privatize PTCL, and in 1994 issued six million
vouchers exchangeable into 600 million shares of the would-be PTCL in two separate placements. Each
had a par value of Rs. 10 per share. These vouchers were converted into PTCL shares in mid-1996. In
1995, Pakistan Telecommunication (Reorganization) Ordinance formed the basis for PTCL monopoly
over basic telephony in the country. The provisions of the Ordinance were lent permanence in October
1996 through Pakistan Telecommunication (Reorganization) Act. The same year, Pakistan
Telecommunication Company Limited was formed and listed on all stock exchanges of Pakistan. PTCL
launched its

27
May 27, 2021 [PTCL INTERNSHIP REPORT]

mobile and data services subsidiaries in 2001 by the name of Ufone and Pak Net respectively. None of
the brands made it to the top slots in the respective competitions. Lately, however, Ufone had increased
its market share in the cellular sector. The Pak Net brand has effectively dissolved over the period of
time. The first major product initiative taken towards a changing PTCL during the year 2006-07, was the
launch of PTCL‘s Broadband service. PTCL achieved unprecedented success in Broadband service
as it added over 10,000 customers within the first
120 days of its launch. As telecommunication monopolies head toward an imminent end, services and
infrastructure providers are set to face even bigger challenges. The post-monopoly
era came with Pakistan‘s Liberalization in Telecommunication in January 2003. On the Government level,
a comprehensive liberalization policy for telecom sector is in the offering.

In April 2006, Emirates Telecommunication Corporation, which is commonly known as Etisalat, has
assumed management control of Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation Ltd part of the
$2.6b, deal to buy a 26% stake in PTCL. There were three participants in the bet for privatization of
PTCL. Etisalat, a Dubai based company was able to get the shares with a large margin in the bet. When
Government was going to privatize the company there was country wide protest and strike by PTCL
workers. They even disrupted phone lines of some big Government institutions like Punjab University
Lahore and many lines of public sector were also blocked. Military had to take over the management
of all the Exchanges in the country. They arrested many workers and put them behind bars. The
contention between Government and employees ended with a 30% increase in the salary of workers.
There have been various changes in the company due to privatization. Such examples include the VSS
(Voluntary Separation Scheme for
its employees), ERP (SAP based), restructuring, B& CC (Billing and Customer Care Software) etc.
Another seemingly minor change was change of brand identity (logo) that will present PTCL‘s new face
after privatization, with greater focus on customer satisfaction and bringing about of new
advancements in telecom for Pakistaniconsumers.

Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited is following a business-oriented policy to associate


private entrepreneurs in telecom sector development. The options are based on interconnect and
revenue sharing arrangements with license operators and through outsourcing revenue sharing with O &
M contractors as business partners. PTCL has successfully entered into arrangements with foreign and

PRIVATIZATION OF PTCL:

The government‘s efforts to restructure and privatize PTCL have been on –again off-again since 1991.
It had an offer in the late 1990s for 26 percent equity, reputedly totaling $3 billion, but held out in
negotiations and ultimately missed the unique global market window at that time. Since then, it has had
difficulty attracting potential buyers.
Investors have been concerned about political risk, and appropriate support from the government to
transform the utility into a commercially-oriented corporation. With fortunes rising in the local telecom
sector, the government hoped to make privatization of the company a landmark deal for broader reform
of the company. A successful deal would demonstrate the governments increasing support for market
capitalism and, it was hoped to; boost anemic levels of direct foreign investment.

PTCL and the government were contemplating different strategic options for restructuring. Plans were
vetted for both a geographic and functional split of operations. Analysts believed that most likely
scenario is a break-up into three new companies, tracking with the firm‘s largest business units: local,
long distance and mobile. This approach mirrors the policy environment fashioned for new
competitive entrants. From the government perspective, breaking up PTCL prior to a sell- off will help
curtail the market power of any one single service provider, thereby stimulating competition.

Unbundling the sale was also likely to increase revenues for the government. The risk, of course, was that
the mobile company, PTML (branded as ―Ufone‖), was disproportionately more

10

27
May 27, 2021 [PTCL INTERNSHIP REPORT]

attractive than the other businesses. According to AKD Securities, PTML‘s contribution to PTCL‘s total
revenues was expected to rise to 12.5% over the next five years and was assumed to contribute 39% of
PTCL‘s overall revenue growth. Further growth of mobile, both in terms of subscribers and net revenues,
was considered to almost certainly outstrip demand for fixed line services. The target was to sell up to a
26 percent stake in PTCL; the government held 88 percent of $2.6 billion, and then any lowering of bid
price in the revised agreement approved by the cabinet in March. The official documents state that
the accumulated bidding price in the revised bid came down to $2.205 billion against the original Etisalat
bid of $2.599 billion, said a report
in the Gulf today.

The PTCL privatization agreement with Etisalat allegedly inflicted a further loss of billions of rupeesto
the national exchequer besides unprecedented concessions offered in the long term, indirect conflict with
Article 30 of the Public Procurement Rules 2004, it said. By far, the PTCL has been the highest profit
earning state-owned company with real-estate assets worth billions of rupees across the country including
commercial plazas, residential colonies and exchanges. According to the government documents, the
Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) of the PTCL with Etisalat lapsed in September 2005 after the non-
payment of the dues by the winner bidders. After further negotiations with the Etisalatmanagement, the
government agreed to additional concessions and modifications to the transaction structure offer.

Critical Analysis of Management patterns:


Management in practical life is very different from what we have studied in textbooks. In real lifeit
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.

Strengths
➢ Strong leadership skills
➢ Very Hardworking
➢ 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 another 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

May 27, 2021 [PTCL INTERNSHIP REPORT]

Weak Areas
❖ 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 has 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 manager still able to gets the best out his
employee in these conditions.

May 27, 2021 [PTCL INTERNSHIP REPORT]

❖ There is shortage of staff in finance department. There should be two separate managers
for accounts and finance. But currently MR. Irshad has responsibility of both.
❖ Some of the staff is not related to the finance department. They are not specialized in finance.
But they are working in finance department.
❖ There is still paper work in finance department which can create problem. Although now
most working is done in SAP software.
❖ Finance department is too much dependent on finance manager. When he is not there
no work is done.
Overall working in finance department is very good. All the members are work hard and often use over
time to complete theirtasks.

Critical Analysis of Management patterns:


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.

Strengths:
❖ Strong leadership skills
❖ Very Hardworking
❖ 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.

May 27, 2021 [PTCL INTERNSHIP REPORT]

❖ Uses SAP software to control all the activities in finance department.


❖ Interconnected systems to keep in touch with another 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

Weaknesses:
❖ 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 has 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 manager still able to gets the best out his
employee in these conditions.

Products:
In PTCL, so far products had been planned and developed by the engineering department and marketing
pro fissional had no role in product planning as there was no marketing department in the Company. But
now marketing professionals have been inducted in the Company and they will definitely havea close
coordination with engineering department in planning and development of products to satisfy customers‘
desires. It should also be kept in mind that PTCL is a technical organization enjoying state-of-the-art
telecom technology.

The services offered by PTCL are built in the technology and with the passage of time; PTCL rolls out
these products in the market even many products, which have become obsolete in developed
countries, are launched as new products by PTCL. But we cannot deny the fact that being monopolist,
PTCL is depriving customers of many digital services that are available free in many other countries.
However, as the Marketing department has been established now, it is expected that in future there will
be close coordination and liaison between marketing professionals and engineers for planning and
developing customers oriented pro ducts.

PTCL is also in the process of hiring brand Managers to manage its different products.

Marketing Strategy of PTCL:


For understanding the marketing department work flow and its function we must have clear picture
of the PTCL‘s marketing strategy. For developing clear understanding of marketing strategy of PTCL
there is no one line statement or clear vision of marketing department so we have to
move traditional y. Cla ical y, arketing ha been al about the ‘: lace,
Price and Promotion. The marketer identifies a target market, defines the product and Pricing to appeal
to this market and a strategy to deliver the product to the market. Thus, the marketer is the steward of the
value proposition, ensuring that the firm is delivering maximum value to its customers.

Normally, a marketing strategy identifies the target markets, the desired position in each market and the
marketing mix that will persuade those target markets to part with their money. Market is targeted through
market segmentation. Segmentation can be done on four types i.e. Demographic Segmentation (age,
gender, race/ethnicity, household type, home ownership, education, employment, income etc.),
Geographic segmentation.

Positioning oneself by product can do positioning differentiation, positioning by product usage, positioning
against a particular competitor, positioning against an entire product category,
positioning by association and positioning by problem, Marketing Mix includes P‘s i.e. Product,

Price, Promotion and place.

TARGET MARKET:
PTCL‘s 80% revenue comes from just 20% customers, who are corporate customers and other big and
small business organizations. The main focus of PTCL marketing efforts is on retaining and satisfying that
20% chunk of key customers at any cost. For this purpose, PTCL is now established Corporate Customer
Service Centre‘s in major cities to take care of these vital customers. Apart from these important
customers, PTCL targets general public and other small

business companies for sale of its landline telecom services like telephone, fax, Internet, as well as other

Product Planning:

In PTCL, so far products had been planned and developed by the engineering department and marketing
professionals had no role in product planning as there was no marketing department in the Company. But
now marketing professionals have been inducted in the Company and they will definitely havea close
coordination with engineering department in planning and development of products to satisfy customers‘
desires. It should also be kept in mind that PTCL is a technical organization enjoying state-of-the-art
telecom technology. The services offered by
PTCL are built in the technology and with the passage of time; PTCL rolls out these products in the
market. Even many products, which have become obsolete in developed countries, are launched as new
products by PTCL. But we cannot deny the fact that being monopolist, PTCL is depriving customers of
many digital services that are available free in many other countries. However, as the Marketing
department has been established now, it is expected that in future there will be close coordination and
liaison between marketing professionals and engineers for planning and developing customers-
oriented products.

PTCL is also in the process of hiring brand Managers to manage its different products in a thorough
professional way.

Pricing strategy:
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) fixes the prices of telecom services. The process

to PTA for approval. PTA then cal s consumers‘ representatives, journalists and other
interested groups for discussion on the proposal. After listening to the viewpoints of all the interested
parties, PTA gives its decision. If PTA approves PTCL‘s proposal, the new rates are enforced. It may
be mentioned here that telecom technology is only technology whose rates are on the decline with the
passage of time. PTCL also rationalizes its tariff with the passage of time.

Personal Selling:
As PTCL is enjoying monopoly in fixed-line telephony, the company has no professional sales force
because the company has not felt any strong need to use the services of a sales force for increasing the
sale of its product. At the moment, PTCL‘s Customer Services Centers are playing the role of sales
outlets. Customers can make telephone calls; send fax messages from these Customer Service Centers.
They can also get connected their telephone bills and get duplicate bills from theseoutlets.

in the process of inducting professionals‘ sales force for thecompany.

CONTRIBUTION OF PTCL TOWARD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT


Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) is now the country's largest converged services
carrier, providing all telecommunication services from basic voice telephony to data, internet, video-
conferencing and carrier services to consumers, including telecom operators, and the corporate sector
nation-wide. Having an immense potential to be an instrumental agent in Pakistan's economic growth,
PTCL management has set high goals for its self since its inception and is growing every passing day.
That the telecom giant of Pakistan is in transition is evident
from the fact that it has posted yet another quarter of top line growth during the ongoing fiscal

year. Most obliging fact being that during the latest quarter ending March 31, 2012, PTCL showed
revenue growth of 11.3 per cent and scored a net profit of Rs 1.4 billion. Its operation and
effectiveness during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, is the business advancement With the garland
of strengths including PSTN (fixed lines), wireless local loop, broadband, corporate business solutions,
carrier and wholesale services, operations performance, information technology, human resource
development market communication, customer care, quality and revenue assurance and international
business. The company has firmly continued to grow in the

73
May.
27
May.
27
May 27, 2021 [PTCL INTERNSHIP REPORT]

emergent broadband market - both in wire line and wireless segments, With the 61 per cent growth in
Broadband customers, respective revenues have grown and increased by 77 per cent. For the PSTN
customers, introduction of various new packages commensurate with the needs of different segments
of society as well as rationalization of the tariff helped in increasing the landline usage thus arresting
the revenue decline. Concurrently, PTCL group revenue turned up to be Rs 28.3 billion which is 9.7
per cent higher as compared to the same period last year. Harmonizing the corporate services also
registered an increase of 5 per cent in its revenues. Of this, PTCL's revenue was Rs
14.8 billion. Likely, continuing with its vision of providing quality services an increase of 9 per cent in
company's administrative expenses was recorded which is fair enough. Though Pakistan experienced the
revolution of telecom industry in the last decade, PTCL has been working in this sector from its birth,
which was many decades before from the revolution in the telecom sector; while during the last decade,
other companies from around the world have jumped into the playing field with PTCL. However,
the company seems determined to remain the leading information/communication technology service
provider in the region by achieving customer satisfaction. Keeping the previous growth records of the
company in mind it can be easily predicted, that the revenue gains will continue to improve the bottom
line in coming quarters as PTCL is readily diversifying its revenue streams away from the Voice
business and going aggressive in segments like wireless broadband. Which is the manifestation of
the fact that privatization of PTCL has played a far-reaching and paramount role in bridging the gap
of global communication. In short, the biggest private company's determination and efforts to come up
with all the leading edged strategies and tactics stipulates a bright future for Pakistan's
telecommunication industry and revenue growth. Undoubtedly PTCL has been playing an important role
as an instrumental agent for every segment of society as it is a company committed to excellence and
paving the way to a brighter future for the country.

Responsibilities as A Student Internee:

DUTIES:
As an intern in PTCL my duty was in finance department. There are no specific rules for an intern over
there, my supervisor Mr. Muhammad Umar daily guide me and taught all finance related activities.
Mostly I spent my time with finance manager Mr. Muhammad Ali. He also introduces me withhis all
works and sent me to sit with all his worker for knowing what is there role in finance department.In this
department I have already explained the members whose are performing their job. With every member
I did work and learn lot of things from them and also help them to perform theirwork

During my period of internship several performed several activities and several responsibilities are assigned
to me. In startup days I have given a list of NTC numbers (newly installed landline numbers).My
responsibility is to call individual customer either on his landline number and if

not answered than on cell phone number to take feedback from customers regarding services delivered
to them and to confirm that they properly received customer invoices on their registered addresses. If
the customers dint received invoices on their address then the address is reconfirmed and report is sentto
manager.

Another responsibility during my internship is customer dealing i.e. resolving customer queries regarding
their invoices. For example, some customer claim that extra charges are in their bill, in this situation the
customer invoice and PTCL database is cross checked and corrective action is

100
May.
27
May.
27
May 27, 2021 [PTCL INTERNSHIP REPORT]

taken. If there are some remaining charges then the whole story is told to customer and if there is problem
in invoice than extra charges are deducted and the database is updated. Sometimes the customers are
unable to deposit their charges in single attempt for these customers installments are made so that they
deposit their dues conveniently.

During internship my manger give me a responsibility to sorting of the Adjusting bills and then recording
of bills in software.

NEW KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRE:


As a student I have no experience of practical life as before. This was a totally new for me, I learnt
lot of things. During my whole period of internship, I learned sufficient knowledge of organization i.e. what
the organization is about what are the products and services it offers and how it satisfies it wide range
customers, how the organization operates, who reports whom and how the diverse network is centrally
controlled. The greatest knowledge I have gain during my internship is customer handling or we can say
that customer dealing. There is wide range of customers some are educated and some are illiterate
therefore it is very difficult to deal with illiterate customers. During my internship I successfully
cope with customers and able to resolve all their queries and it is my immense pleasure

In our study life books are only guidance how we can face the situation. After experienced the practical
life I am able to explain that practical life is totally different. As an intern in PTCL I have experienced
finance work which is not before ever I have seen in my study career.

As, my professional career is going to start this opportunity is greatest ever opportunity to know about
the market trends. In the start of career this is one is greatest opportunity to make public relations that
help me to start my career with great position with passion

PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED:
PTCL is great place to work. As such I do not face any major problems during my internship. Because
Mr. Muhammad Ali helped me in every issue I am facing in my internship. However, I was nervous
at the time when I have to enter the employee‘s leaves on the SAP system. I worked

101
May.
27
May.
27
May 27, 2021 [PTCL INTERNSHIP REPORT]

many time on that and after that I was able to complete my task. The other problem is that I could not
get much overview of all departments in PTCL. Most of the time I was worked in finance
department. I have learnt majority of things in this department but I was not able to learn more thingsby
doing myself in other departments. So, I was not given specific duty to perform myself with complete
control. I could not get any access to any of the systems in PTCL.

HOW INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE IMPACTS YOUR CAREER:


Internship is an integral part of any business student. As I am a BBA Banking & Finance student
my university provided me the opportunity to develop practical knowledge and also develop my
concepts which before that were only in theoretical form. My internship at PTCL has enlarged my
knowledge about the collection and revenue department. I learned the time management, rules
and regulation which can be main part of any organization. This organization is my 1st practical
learning experience and it will play a role of guide line when I will enter in my professional
career.

Chapter:9

CONCLUSION:
PTCL is one of the biggest and the leading organization in telecommunication sector. All the
telecommunication service provider in Pakistan directly or indirectly depends on PTCL for their
services. However, another edge PTCL has is that it is overlooked by state government and have
bargaining power.
After the completion of internship, it is concluded that it‘s my luck that I have able to do
internship in well renowned organization. During my internship I am able to learned enough knowledge
about true corporate culture, how things are run in corporations, in which way power is distributed, how
employees are controlled, how customers queries are solved and how to keep tight controlled on every
aspect. Today the difficulty is challenging Pakistan Telecommunication Company limited is that there is
no implementation of rules and regulation that may cause the low productivity of the employees.
The presence of worker and employees‘ unions in Pakistan Telecommunication Company that practice to
play organizational politics rather than of creative

102
May.

27
May 27, 2021 [PTCL INTERNSHIP REPORT]

work that may lead company performance on the track of success. According to my view, the miserable
customer relationship management, miserable customer dealing, miserable discipline are some
factors which can damage the branch of Model town exchange at macro level. Pakistan
Telecommunication Company limited has many products that may give large amount of profit if they use
aggressive marketing strategies at the time of launching of new products. PTCL give the tough
competition to its competitors in the communication sector if they use aggressive marketing
strategies. Pakistan Telecommunication Company increases the profit ratio if the hierarchy of the
organization is re-structured in future. Currently PTCL have many valuable
assets that may return more if these assets are utilize properly on time. The profit of Pakistan
Telecommunication Company Limited decrease as compare to previous year that may the cause of
inefficient use of resources and low productivity of the employees. Pakistan Telecommunication
Company Limited enjoys the monopoly in the market but the profit ratios according to this are very low.
The qualities of PTCL internet services are very low as compare to its competitors that are due to the
lack of technical expertise in the organization. PTCL can improve the quality of the services by the
hiring of efficient employees and through the training of the employees.

PTCL is well renowned and the largest organization in telecommunication sector and is growing day by
day but there are numerous shortcomings that management have to consider. There is lack of internal
customer focus management have to consider employees because these are the people who directly in
contact with customers if they are not satisfied than they are unable to
serve customers in an effective way.

Another problem is low productivity of employees, the work load on employee is too much due to which
their productivity is low.
Another weakness is that the implementation of rules and policies are not assured. The policies are
implemented without taken any consideration of outcomes.
The quality of services in specific region is another problem. Due to infrastructural problem the services
in specific region is very low there is anxiety in customer because there is mismatch between price paid
and quality of services.

May 27, 2021 [PTCL INTERNSHIP REPORT]

There is inefficient utilization of resources in PTCL due to its vast infrastructure and there is no
proper maintenance of infrastructure.
PTCL-V, the fixed wireless phone service is poor.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
On the basis of PEST and SWOT analysis following are some recommendations that PTCL have
to consider.
i. Focus on internal customers (employees). Because these are the people through which
you provide services to customers.
There must be proper system for check and balance of employee productivity.
iii. In these days PTCL management focus on over employment issue. They are offering people
golden handshakes and limits on new hiring due to which there is threat of job loss. Management
have to give job security to rise employee satisfaction.
iv. Management has to consider the wants and needs of external customers.
v. More efficiency is required in customer care system
vi. An efficient system for effective utilization of resources and infrastructure must be
ensured.
During development of policies and procedure the outcomes must be considered.
viii. The billing disbursement method must be ensured.

ix. After due date bill deposit method requires certain improvement.
x. The method of employee claim of expenses must be enhanced and queries must be
entertained without any delay.

xi. Sub offices with delegated power must be established for customer convenience.
Critical analysis of the management patterns, week areas that need to be improved:
❖ According to my information, following points should be improved in the organization.
❖ PTCL should set up to the International Standards as it is the only one biggest
Telecommunication Company in Pakistan.

104

May 27, 2021 [PTCL INTERNSHIP REPORT]

❖ Staff should be Hire on the basis of Merit and on Fair means rather hire Staff on the basis of
Biasness or some kinds of Personal Links.
❖ Employees are less motivated so the organization should set such kinds of Challenging tasks
and activities which help them to become Motivated Person.
❖ For training Purpose high skilled trainees should be hire which help the employees and train
them according to the international Standards with a modern education and the technology.
❖ The compensation system for the employees should be Equivalent to the other
International and Multinational organizations.
❖ Well there are only 38 dispensaries for 32000 Employees all over the Pakistan which is

❖ Promotion should be given on the basis of achievements,


attributes rather on superiority or by any other means.
❖ When the Employees got the training, they should be on the right place for which they
are trained for.
