1. HISTORY OF COMMUNICATION:
Communication is the process of sharing ideas, information and messages with others. The most
basic communication methods that are known to man are speech (verbal) and non-verbal
expressions such as facial expressions and body language. Apart from these basic methods of
communication there are other methods of communication. These methods began to evolve and
become complex as the wants and needs of human beings became complex.
One of the major means of communication is writing. Most languages do have a written form. It
can be written down and someone else may read it and understand the meaning. Writing has
been used from the time of the Mayans and Egyptians. The oldest record of writing is some 5000
years old. Writing in the early days was used to mark down the major events of history. It was
also used inside temples and chambers of kings. Visual communication also goes hand in hand
with writing. The first paintings found were drawn more than 5000 years ago, well before words
were written down. Paintings were used in the past like writing.
Other than these methods of communication there were other methods used to signal and
communicate with in a distance. Our ancestors developed systems for sending simple messages
or signals over a distance through:
fire or smoke signals,
lanterns,
drumbeats,
Birds and arrows.
All these methods of communication have evolved and today it is impossible to imagine a world
without it. Households, businesses, organizations and entire countries depend upon the level of
communication. The simple act of exchanging ideas has become one of the most important parts
of human life.
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 6 MBS-09-36
1.1. Smoke Signal
In 150B.C. Native Americans (old American) used a type of communication called smoke
signals. In this form of communication, puffs or columns of smoke were sent into the air in many
different ways, signaling different things. The smoke signals were not exactly a full language,
but were mostly used as brief signals of communication. Some of the recognized signals are
remembered today.
One puff of smoke sent into the air was believed to signal attention.
Two puffs meant all's well or everything is okay.
Three puffs signal either danger, call for help, or simply just trouble.
The smoke is made by putting green branches or grass into the fire. Blankets are used to control
the smoke puffs. Important events were also marked by smoke signals like war, death, or
marriage. There were light and heavy signals, each meaning separate things. One meant good,
the other meant bad.
In Ancient China, soldiers stationed along the Great Wall would alert each other of impending
enemy attack by signaling from tower to tower. In this way, they were able to transmit a message
as far away as 750 kilometers in just a few hours.
1.2. Lantern Means of Communication
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 7 MBS-09-36
Another interesting element of the Chinese lanterns history is that, they also served as a means of
communication among neighbors, when placed on the doorway, and the colors of the lanterns
symbolized the events that the family was going through.
Red Lantern: Red is a symbol of exuberance and zeal at its peak. As such, when
placed outside a house, it symbolizes an event of marriage, or a birth in the family.
Blue Lantern: A blue lantern is an indicator of poor health in the house, and also
symbolizes the degenerating health of a family member.
White Lantern: As is the case with many cultures across the world, white represents
death in the Chinese culture too. When two white lanterns are placed on top of a
doorway, along with a white sash that is placed across them, it symbolizes that a
family is in mourning.
Not only were Chinese lanterns used to communicate the good and bad events in a
family, they also served as a means of communication among the military. The famous war hero,
Zhu Geliang has been credited with the invention of a special lantern, used to alert neighboring
cities of potential attack or danger. This he did by dousing a strip of cloth in kerosene, and
placing it within a lamp that was light enough to float into the sky at night.
1.3. Communication by Drums
Drums are used for communication in central Africa. Many languages of the Bantu family of
languages, spoken there, have drum
equivalents. It works just about like the Morse
code (a code of signaling and telegraphy),
except that the Morse code uses letters as units,
and the drum communication uses words.
Intonation (a particular tone ring with the drum) is very important in the Bantu languages. A
word can have completely different meanings, depending on the intonation. That intonation
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 8 MBS-09-36
relies on high/low tones. These tones can easily be duplicated by the drums. Of course, there are
words that have the same amount of syllables (a word that contain the vowel sound) and have the
same intonation. You can imagine that a message sent using drums could get quite long.
1.4. Communication by Birds
Ever since the beginning of time as we know it, our civilization has
developed and relied on various forms of communication in order to
confer amongst those of his own species. Whether it is to convey messages
of friendship, anger, sadness or even war, Birds carried messages through
a long distance. The message was attached to a foot of a Pigeon or a
Falcon who flew home with the message. This specific method of
communication was used to a great extent during World War I.

2. HISTORY OF TELECOMMUNICATION
2.1. What is Telecommunication?
“Telecommunications is a general term for a vast array of
technologies that send information over distances.”
Mobile phones, land lines, satellite phones and voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) are all
telephony technologies just one field of telecommunications. Radio, television and networks are
a few more examples of telecommunication.
Telecommunication’ is a term coming from Greek and meaning ‘communication at distance’
through signals of varied nature coming from a transmitter to a receiver. In order to achieve
effective communication, the choice of a proper mean of transport for the signal has played (and
still plays) a fundamental role.
In ancient times, the most common way of
producing a signal would be through light (fires) and
sound (drums and horns). However, those kinds’
communications were insecure and certainly left
room to improvement as they did not permit
message encryption or a fast transmission of
information on a large scale.
The true ‘jump’ in terms of quality came with the
advent of electricity. Electromagnetic energy, in fact, is able to transport information in an
extremely fast way (ideally to the speed of light), in a way that previously had no equals in terms
of costs reliability. Therefore, we may say that the starting point of all modern
telecommunications was the invention of the electric cell by Alessandro Volta (1800).
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 10 MBS-09-36
It was shortly thereafter that the first experiments on more advanced communication system
begun from 1830s that electrical telecommunication system started to appear.
Telecommunication is started at that time through
Telegraph and telephone
Radio and television
2.1.1. Telegraph and Telephone
2.1.1.1. TelegraphA very early experiment in electrical telegraphy was an
'electrochemical' telegraph created by the German
physician and inventor Samuel Thomas in 1809. based on
an earlier, less robust design of 1804 by scientist
Francisco. Both their designs employed multiple wires
(up to 35) in order to visually represent almost all letters
and numerals. Thus, messages could be conveyed
electrically up to a few kilometers with each of the telegraph receiver's wires. An electrical
current was sequentially applied by the sender through the various wires representing each digit
of a message.
The first commercial electrical telegraph was constructed in England by Sir Charles Wheatstone
and Sir William Cooke. It used the deflection of needles to represent messages and started
operating over twenty-one kilometers (thirteen miles) of the Great Western Railway on 9 April
1839. Both Wheatstone and Cooke viewed their device as "an improvement to the [existing]
electromagnetic telegraph" not as a new device.
2.1.1.1. Telephone
The conventional telephone was invented by “Alexander
Graham Bell” in 1876, based on his earlier work with
harmonic (multi-signal) telegraphs. The first commercial
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 11 MBS-09-36
telephone services were set up in 1878 and 1879 on both sides of the Atlantic in the cities of
New Haven and London. Bell held the master patent for the telephone that was needed for such
services in both countries. The technology grew quickly from this point, with inter-city lines
being built and telephone exchanges in every major city of the United States by the mid-1880s.
In 1880, Bell and co-inventor Charles Sumner Tainter conducted the world's first wireless
telephone call via modulated light beams projected by photo phones. The scientific principles of
their invention would not be utilized for several decades, when they were first deployed in
military and fiber-optic communications.
2.1.2. Radio and Television
2.1.2.1. Radio
In 1832, James Lindsay gave a classroom demonstration of wireless
telegraphy to his students. By 1854, he was able to demonstrate a
transmission across the Firth of Tay from Dundee to Woodhaven, a
distance of two miles (3 km), using water as the transmission
medium.
Addressing the Franklin Institute in 1893, Nikola Tesla described and demonstrated in detail the
principles of wireless telegraphy. The apparatus that he used contained all the elements that were
incorporated into radio systems before the development of the vacuum tube. However it was not
until 1900 that Reginald Fessenden was able to wirelessly transmit a human voice.
2.1.2.2. Television
In December 1901, Guglielmo Marconi established wireless
communication between Britain and Newfoundland, earning him
the Nobel Prize in physics in 1909 (which he shared with Karl
Braun).
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 12 MBS-09-36
On March 25, 1925, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird publicly demonstrated the transmission
of moving pictures at the London department store Selfridges. In October 1925, Baird was
successful in obtaining moving pictures with halftone shades, which were by most accounts the
first true television pictures. Baird's first devices relied upon the Nipkow disk and thus became
known as the mechanical television. It formed the basis of semi-experimental broadcasts done by
the British Broadcasting Corporation beginning September 30, 1929.
However for most of the twentieth century televisions depended upon the cathode ray tube
invented by Karl Braun.

During the past decade the company built a reputation for excellence with the widest coverage,
network quality, customer services and value-added facilities that have earned us the respect of
consumer’s experts. But the general perception was that company introduced the mobile as a
status symbol and charged exorbitant rates during it early years. Paktel’s progression towards
becoming a leading mobile service provider primarily comes from the early entry. The cellular
networks offer services in over 200 cities and towns across the country. Paktel offers the range of
cellular services with real utility; it has recently decided to shift from AMPS technology to the
GSM version. It advantages are wide coverage, value added facilities, and good customer
services.

7. ANALYSIS
7.1. BCG Matrix
Companies those are large enough to be organized into Strategic Business Units (SBUs) face the
challenge of allocating resources among those units. In the early 1970's the Boston Consulting
Group developed a model for managing a portfolio of different business units. The BCG growth-
share matrix displays the various business units on a graph of the market growth rate vs. market
share. Companies check which unit is more profitable for the business and which needs to
improve.
On the vertical axis, market growth rate provides a measure of market attractiveness. On the
horizontal axis, relative market share serves as a measure of company strength in the market.
The Growth-Share Matrix Defines Four Types Of SBUs:
7.1.1. Cash Cow - (Low Growth, High Market Share)
A business unit that has a large market shares in a mature, slow growing industry. Cash cows
require little investment and generate cash that can be used to invest in other business units.
7.1.2. Star - (High Growth, High Market Share)
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 52 MBS-09-36
A business unit that has a large market shares in a fast growing industry. Stars may generate
Cash, but because the market is growing rapidly they require investment to maintain their lead. If
successful, a star will become a cash cow when its industry matures.
7.1.3. Question Mark - (High Growth, Low Market Share)
A business unit that has a small market shares in a high growth market. These business units
require resources to grow market share, but whether they will succeed and become stars is
unknown.
7.1.4. Dog - (Low Growth, Low Market Share)
A business unit that has a small market shares in a mature industry. A dog may not require
Substantial cash, but it ties up capital that could better be deployed elsewhere. Unless a dog has
some other strategic purpose, it should be liquidated if there is little prospect for it to gain market
share.
7.1.5. Zong SBUs
Post paid
Prepaid
Zong mobile
Zong USB
Zong postpaid has low market share of 15% and high growth rate of16% so in BCG matrix it
lies in quadrant of question marks.
Zong prepaid has high market share of 60% and high growth rate of15% so in BCG matrix it
lies in quadrant of stars.
Zong mobile has low market share of 20% and high growth rate of11% so in BCG matrix it lies
in quadrant of question marks.
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 53 MBS-09-36
Zong USB has low market share of 05% and no growth rate. So in BCG matrix it lies in
quadrant of dog.
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 54 MBS-09-36
7.2. SWOT Analysis
SWOT Analysis is to evaluate the business in the market and a strategic planning tool used to
evaluate the Threats, Opportunities and Strengths, Weaknesses, involved in a project or in a
business venture or in any other situation requiring a decision. This is an important tool which is
helpful to formulate strategy. This Matrix is an important matching tool that helps managers
develops four types of strategies:
SO Strategies (Strength-Opportunities)
WO Strategies (Weakness-Opportunities)
ST Strategies (Strength-Threats) and
WT Strategies (Weakness-Threats)
SWOT is defined precisely as follows:
Strengths are attributes of the organization that are helpful to the achievement of the
objective.
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 55 MBS-09-36
Weaknesses are attributes of the organization that are harmful to the achievement of the
objective.
Opportunities are external conditions that are helpful to the achievement of the
objective.
Threats are external conditions that are harmful to the achievement of the objective.
7.2.1. Steps for developing strategies:
There are eight steps involved in constructing a TOWS Matrix:
1. Analyze the external opportunities
2. Identify the external threats
3. Identify the internal strength
4. Identify the internal weaknesses.
5. Match internal strengths with external opportunities and mention the result in the SO
Strategies.
6. Match internal weaknesses with external opportunities and mention the result in the WO
Strategies.
7. Match internal strengths with external threats and mention the result in the ST Strategies.
8. Match internal weaknesses with external threats and mention the result in the WT
strategies.
7.2.2. Strength -- S
S.1. Resources

of capital to invest in various projects. Its offices are luxuriously equipped with every
facility.
Zong while choosing people for jobs follow the strategy of choosing the best among
all therefore majority of its staff people are highly qualified from renowned
universities of Pakistan. Certain people are foreign qualified.
So far CM Pak has invested more than US$ 700 million in the telecom sector in
Pakistan and an additional US$ 800 million invested at the end of 2008.
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 56 MBS-09-36

S.6. Lowest rate nation wide
Zong provide lowest rates as compare to other telecom industry it’s a great thing which is
only provided by Zong.
S.7. Location And Geographical Coverage
Zong is also covering the all cities of Pakistan and in 2008 Zong completed its record
sites 1000 in Pakistan its great achievement.
Zong is covering the northern areas of Pakistan rapidly.
7.2.3. Weaknesses -- W
W.1. Bad Image of Paktel
Bad image of associate with Paktel. And still now having old staff of paktel.
W.2. Low Market Share
Till now zong have low market share 8.9% in January 2011. But the market share of zong
increasing rapidly from December 2009 to January 2011. Almost in one year the market
share is grew up by 2%.
W.3. Weak MIS
Zong does not have the proper lists of its customers. It has the list but this list is not authentic
which is increasing the unauthorized use of its SIM specially pre pay. Owner of SEP issued
sometimes unlisted numbers due to personal interest. So that is the weakness of ZONG.
W.4. Old Staff
ZONG has till now old staff of Paktek which is not very much efficient in this era to
technology. But now ZONG try to overcome this weakness by retiring the old employees
with golden hand shake to those employees.
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 58 MBS-09-36
7.2.4. Opportunities -- O
O.1. Globalization
ZONG can expand the globally and can develop it strategy in other countries.
O.2. Acquiring / Merger
As Warid is going in loss and in the condition of liquidations its big opportunity for Zong to
acquire Warid telecom.
O.3. Covering Pak China Border
Zong can cover the border of China, with the Karakoram highway (old Silk Route) and can
play a vital role in freight transportation.
O.4. Covering Northern Areas
China mobiles have huge experience of network operation in similar high mountainous areas
in china itself. So it is opportunity for Zong (CM Pak) to cover the northern areas of Pakistan
and get good image in the eyes of current users and potential users.
O.5. New Product
As above mentioned China mobiles have large experience of network so Zong can introduce
new products such as dish TV. Because Zong have good wireless technology e.g. ZTE,
Ericsson, Alcatel and Hawaii etc. So it is easy for Zong to introduce dish TV.
7.2.5. Threats – T
T.1. Old Stable Companies
1st threat for zong is old stable companies in Pakistan these have good brand image in the
eyes of customers.
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 59 MBS-09-36
The Mobilink GSM started operation in the year 1994
Ufone starts its GSM operation in Pakistan on January 29, 2001
Telenor acquired the license for providing GSM services in Pakistan in April 2004
Warid starts GSM cellular services in Pakistan and Bangladesh in October 2006
But Zong started telecommunication business in Pakistan On January 22, 2007
T.2. Attractive Packages By Competitors
Another threat for Zong is the attractive packages offered by the competitors but the best
example is Ufone there are so many packages offered by Ufone.
T.3. Price War
In Pakistan there is 5 cellular companies so that is why bargaining power of buyers is very
much high, so there is price war is also threat for new entrant Zong.
T.4. Economic and Political Condition of Pakistan
Economic and political condition of Pakistan is very bad so this is also threat for the
companies. Increase in taxes is also threat for the companies.
7.2.6. Strategies That ZONG Can Follow By SWOT Analysis
7.2.6.1. SO-Strategies
Matching the S.1. and O.4. Zong can expand their business.
From S.1. and O.3. they can use the strategy of acquisition.
7.2.6.2. ST-Strategies
Matching the S.1. and T.3. Zong can use the strategy of cost leadership.
Matching the S.1. and T.2. Zong can use the strategy of penetration.
7.2.6.3. WO-Strategies
Matching the W.3. and O.2. Zong can use the strategy of acquisition.
7.2.6.4. WT-Strategies
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 60 MBS-09-36
Matching the W.3. and T.2. Zong can use the strategy of downsizing.
7.3. PEST Analysis
In order to survive and remain profitable in today’s competitive marketplace, Zong need to be
able to react and adapt to changes in the external environment and ideally be proactive in
impacting these forces. External environment factors can be classified into five general
categories: competitive, social/cultural, legal, economic, political, and technological.
7.3.1. Political Factors
7.3.1.1. Political Instability
Pakistan is facing political instability causing danger for the telecom industry. But the political
factor does not effect on Zong so high because Zong related from china and relationship of china
and Pakistan is very strong.
7.3.1.2. Deregulation
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 61 MBS-09-36
The telecom sector of Pakistan has successfully liberalized in an efficient, transparent and fastest
deregulation of telecom in the region. The Government of Pakistan gave the status of Industry to
Pakistan Telecommunication Sector.
7.3.1.3. Changes in Tax Laws
Tax rates have been increased day by day government tax rate of call is 15% and recently
government increased it by 6 % more.
7.3.2. Economic Factors:
7.3.2.1. Gross Domestic Product
Telecom sector of Pakistan has a share of almost 2 percent in National GDP.
7.3.2.2. Average Revenue per User (ARPU)
The average revenue per user is falling. It does not affect value able on Zong. Because Zong
started in same condition.
7.3.2.3. Decline in Money Value:
The decline in Rupee value against the US Dollar, the decrease in the interconnect charges and
lower priced tariffs have resulted in an overall decrease of ARPU in US Dollar terms.
7.3.2.4. Outflow of Capital:
The ongoing economic turmoil along with the worsening of security conditions in Pakistan has
caused an increased outflow of capital from the country.
7.3.3. Technological Factors:
7.3.3.1. Technological Development:
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 62 MBS-09-36
Companies are investing in their infrastructure to not only expand but also to upgrade their
existing structure. As the competition is strong ZONG is focusing on its value added services
7.3.3.2. Technological Advancement:
Currently all companies are providing Multi-media Messaging Services (MMS), General Packet
Radio Service (GPRS), Virtual Private Network (VPN), Pocket Stocks, Conference Calling,
Wallpapers Animated pictures Polyphonic ring tones (WAP), and Voice Mail at low price.
7.3.3.3. Technological Trends
The well-recognized technology trends that are influencing the evolution of the network indicate
that:
The cost of a call is becoming even more insensitive to the distance;
The modularity of the network is increasing;
The switching off from one network to another is very easy;
The geographic boundaries are irrelevant for emerging technology;
The intelligence and function are moving away from the central office.
In these conditions competition is very strong among competitors. Zong is improving itself in
technology.
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 63 MBS-09-36
7.4. Porter’s Five Forces Model
Five forces looks at five key areas namely threat of new entry, power of buyers, power of
suppliers, threat of substitutes, and competitive rivalry.
7.4.1. Threat of Potential Entrant
As government of Pakistan is showing liberalism in case of telecommunication sector and
opened its policies to award new licensees to new mobile service providers so threat of
new entry is high.
7.4.2. Bargaining Power of Buyers
Power of buyer is high in telecommunication sector. There are five market players and
players are offering different packages at different prices and a situation of price war is
running. Buyers have a power to buy any package which is suited to them.
Cost of switching from one company package to other company package is low. Hence,
power of buyers is high.
7.4.3. Bargaining power of Suppliers
The power of suppliers is low in case of telecommunication sector.
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 64 MBS-09-36
7.4.4. Threat of Substitute
Government also gave so many land lines and wireless local loop licenses to different
companies like PTCL wireless local loop, GO CDMA, WORLD CALL etc. these
services in future will be like mobile phone services like they are planning to offer
services a lot but currently they are offering SMS and CLI services to their customers.
7.4.5. Rivalry Among Competing Firms in Industry
Currently there are five market players but in future they will the increased in number
because there is less barriers to entry the future expected satellite service.
Thuraya satellite service is offering subscribers freedom of mobility and uninterrupted
service. Thuraya's satellite technology supplements of existing mobile service providers,
overcoming the challenges of large geographical areas.

The ratings values are as follows:

As indicated by the total weighted score of 2.70, Zong is weakest. Because it is at its initial
position as compare to competitors. With the point of 3.16 Mobilink is leading. But Warid have
1.79 score so that is why there is a opportunity for Warid and Zong as well to merge their
business because Zong have great growth rate in the market and Warid is older in current market
so it is beneficial for the both Zong and Warid.

9. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
No company can remain in business if it cannot sustain and grow its profits and telecom
companies are no exemption. If Zong wants to remain the market leader in the mobile industry
and wants to satisfy its customers, it itself needs to remain a profitable company.
Zong is a Private Limited Company and due to this reason, its financial statements are not made
public. However it does provide its financial information to different financial institutions and
companies that have invested in Zong.
Financial information regarding the zong is given below
9.1. Operational Results
Description 2010 2009
Amount in PKR
Revenue/Sales 53,185,818,288 41,903,898,840
Profit Before Tax 5,232,193,340 5,529,544,507
Profit After Tax 3,113,745,313 3,075,294,451
Interpretations
As major portion of Zong is on prepaid basis, including SIM sales, securities and balance
recharges the revenues for Zong have increased from December 2009 to December 2010, this
increase is because of the large increase in the consumer base of Zong in 2010. The increase in
revenue has led to an increase in the profit before tax, and although the costs of services and
selling and administrative charges in 2010 have increased from the past year, the increased
revenue helped in offsetting the increase in the expenses.

9.2. Balance Sheet
Description 2010 2009
Amount in PKR
Fixed Assets 103,619,616,557 78,672,109,189
Current Assets 12,235,342,304 13,644,814,204
Total Assets 115,854,958,860 92,316,923,393
Current Liabilities 38,806,519,709 38,201,202,275
Long term Liabilities 59,405,946,034 41,898,730,907
Total liabilities 98,212,465,742 80,069,933,183
Shareholders’ Equity 17,642,493,118 12,246,990,210
Total Equities 115,854,958,860 92,316,923,393
Interpretations
Fixed assets are increased because cell sites are expanded and very large investment done on the
towers in different areas with low distance for the better signal and networks for the customer.
Due to above project a big capital is used so the shareholders equity is decreased and long term
liabilities are also increased from 41.8 Billion to 59.4 Billion.

9.3. Ration Analysis
9.3.1. Current Ratio
2010 20090.315 : 1 0.357 : 1
Interpretation
Current ratio measures how easily a company can pay off its current liabilities using its current
assets. For Zong although most of its revenues are on a prepaid basis but still the current assets
fall short to pay off the current liabilities in both 2009 and 2010. Furthermore the current ratio
has fallen in 2010, which again shows that there aren’t enough liquid assets to pay off the current
liabilities and may affect Zong’s solvency in the short term.
9.3.2. Total Assets Turnover Ratio
2010 200945.907% 45.391%
Interpretation
Total Asset Turnover shows how effectively a company uses its assets. That is using its assets to
generate sales. Most of ZONG’S assets are include cell sites and other equipment. As the above
table shows, the ratio has increased in 2010, from 45.391% to 45.907%.
Although the increase is very small, the major reasons associated are the sales increased more
than the assets. Total assets rose by 25%, while the revenue rose by 27%. The major reason for
the increase in the sales associated with the increase in the total subscribers in 2010, as compared
to 2009 e.g. total subscriber in 2009 is 6.7 million and in 2010 is 8.4 million.
9.3.3. Debt Ratio
2010 200985% 87%
BZU sub Capmus SAHIWAL 77 MBS-09-36
Interpretation
The Debt Ratio measures the percentage of funds provided by sources other than equity. For
zong, most of its growth is funded through long and short term financing, and even though zong
has expanded its operations, but still the debt ratio fell in 2010, but only by 2%, which is mainly
because of the large increase in the total assets as compared to liabilities. Assets are increased by
25% and liabilities are increased by 23%.
9.3.4. Net Profit Margin
2010 20095.85% 7.33%
Interpretation
Net profit margin denotes the percentage of net profit from sales/revenue. Net profit margin in
decreased as compare to the previous year 2009 by 1.48%, but sales is increased in 2010 as
compare to 2009 the reason behind it the increase in operating expenses (selling expenses and
administration expenses). Because hired more new staff for ZONG.
9.3.5. Return on Equity Ratio
2010 200917.64% 25.11%
Interpretation
Return on equity measures the extent to which the shareholders of a company are getting returns
on their investments. The ratio for ZONG has decreased significantly in 2010, a decrease of
7.47%. This decrease can be associated to the small income available to the shareholder. Most of
the net income has to be paid out in financial charges, which leaves less or the shareholders,
which in 2008, expanded their investment in the company.

10. CONCLUSION
ZONG has strong financial position and growing very fast in the current position of the market
of Pakistan in which other companies growing very slowly or decreasing their market shares. As
we check in the market growth analysis ZONG increased its market share by 2% from December
2009 to January 2011. It is very big achievement for the ZONG because it is new brand in the
market. As ZONG become the favorite brand of the youngsters just because of its best prepaid
packages and the SMS packages we can say that ZONG can be a market leader after few years as
early it is growing. As all of we know that the other communication companies especially
UFONE providing the more and more packages for its customers ZONG also have to focus on it
and also provide more offerings to its customers. The best suggestion for ZONG to become more
favorite brand it should provide cheaper GPRS packages like ZONG GPRS daily free package
with some daily charges etc. ZONG have kept in mind that these points are for the better
progress in ZONG. And ZONG also have to use more promotion campaigns to increase the sale.

11. SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
After doing internship in the ZONG I have find out some deficiencies in the ZONG so if I
appointed as a manger I will suggest some following points to the ZONG
Voice clarity and call disconnection is the major issue of ZONG; this issue can be resolve by
installing new boosters in the different areas.
ZONG put emphasis on hiring young, fresh and energetic persons and firing the older ones
which is a good step for ZONG but beside this they should train their old and experienced
workers because human resources are the assets of the company, because after training that
old workers preform very as compare to the fresh workers.
In the ZONG’S SBUs, ZONG mobile should use strategy to provide the spare parts for the
ZONG mobile in the mobile markets, so customer can repair the mobile after the warranty,
due to this step customer will get more faith on China Mobiles.
ZONG have strong financial position, and buyer is more powerful in the current market
because he/she has more options so by using this option ZONG should follow the cost
leadership strategy e.g. it should provide cheaper GPRS packages like ZONG GPRS daily
free package with some daily charges etc.
China Mobiles have huge experience of network operation in similar high mountainous areas
in china itself. So it is opportunity for ZONG (CM Pak) to cover the northern areas of
Pakistan and get good image in the eyes of current users and potential users and ZONG can
cover the border of China, with the Karakoram highway and can play a vital role during the
journey from this border.
