Let t which is time changed than,
A=12

C=25
Than
G.M. = Antilog {log (12) + log (17) +log (25)}/3

During the internship, the skill on various development archived .The special
achievements that are remarkable, they are following:-

SAFE to communicate with other exchanges.

bases. The ISE pay’s the rent of floors, soon the new building will be completed the
ISE will be shifted to that place. That building is completely with ISE name and ISE
sells its various floors to the brokers and trading communities. The ISE tower is

Suggestions and Recommendations
There are some recommendations to ISE for betterment in future. These are, The
member ship fee should below the current rate which is Rs.7500,000. In the case of
low fee more members will apply in ISE and this will generate more revenue for
exchange.
The management and members should start the program on T.V. and Radio as soon
as possible especially in these days when the liquidity in the economy at peak
level. Through such program awareness of general public will increase towards the
stock exchange and they will prepare themselves for investment in market.
There should own software development for ISE. For this purpose the management
should develop own department of IT at a level.
The management of exchange should maintain the accounts of exchange more than
three scheduled banks. In the case of failure of any bank the investor or brokers
will disturb at minim level.
To attract more investors it will better for management to launch on web site the
main functions, which dominate the ISE from other exchanges of the country.
The department of companies’ affairs can perform this work easily. The other
aspect the cost of maintenance of web site which needs a special, so there is
Page 32 of 35
recommendation by ISE management is already under consideration to hire an
expert for such purpose.
With the help of SECP the ISE should give the proposal for fixing special charges
for below the standard exposure and there should also limit for maximum
exposure. This will bring in equality among the members, helpful to protect the
weak members, activity in trading, interest of members will entact and clients or
investor will diversify to other members.
ISE management can send the comprehensive proposal summary.
Human resource development techniques should implement consistency. For such
purpose the number of workshops and seminars should held in a year.
The faculty members of nearest university can be called to give their services as
the convener of seminars and workshops.
The amount from Member Protection Fund (MPF) should increase from
Rs10,00,000. It will provide support to member in crises, he will in position to
meet financial challenges. The limit can be increase, it is because higher the
trading activities higher the risk and at the same time higher the Laga will be
collected. So in these days the activities related to trade is at peak level, the fund
can be made.
Page 33 of 35
The overcome the salary problem and for purpose of motivation in employees over
time should be given for extra work.
Implementation
The maximum work can be taken. In initial stage the motivation reward should less
costly but after success it can be increased. The other method of award to give
shields at the end of year on best performance of employees. Such awards increase
competition among employees. Under this condition cost vs benefits would be

Conclusion
The overall management of ISE is better performing but in some areas there is need to
improve for further improvement in future. All employees are hard worker and loyal to
their organization.
The economic indicators in the economy show a good trend in 2002-2003. This will
provide an opportunity the management of stock exchange to avail maximum
opportunities through policies that will help to grow in future.
The turnover for chairman seat is for short span of time, which is for 1 year. This will not
provide in policymaking experience. The decision by SECP to reduce board of directors
will help to take the quick decision.
The management of ISE is too much dependent on KSE. If the KSE is going on peak than
ISE will also fallow it, in case of down the index of KSE the ISE will also go down. The
transparency in functions is very good sign for ISE whole management. Moreover the
coordination in work and continuous struggle to bring change can help to show more
progress.
