This chapter is all about introduction of ZONG, First the introduction of telecom sector of Pakistan and history is discussed after that China Mobile Communication Corporation (CMCC) and after that China Mobile Pakistan (CMPak) and ZONG Pakistan are discussed Afterward, ZONGs vision and mission and core values. 1.1 History Pakistan is on the verge of a telecom revolution and it is by far the most attractive sector in Pakistan in terms of Foreign Direct Investment coming into the country. Since liberalization, over the past four years, the Pakistani telecom sector has attracted more than $9 billion in foreign investments. During 2014-15, Pakistani communication sector alone received $1.62 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) about 30% of the countrys total foreign direct investment. Pakistan mobile industry now is experiencing growth explosion. Though the existing players are trying hard to meet the growing demand, still there is a huge amount of unmet demand in the country as against the supply of connection by the operating mobile companies. By March 2015, Pakistan had 91 million mobile subscribers 25 million more subscribers than reported in the same period 2010. In addition to 3.1 million fixed lines, while as many as 2.4 million are using Wireless Local Loop connections.

1.2 Telecom Sector of Pakistan Pakistan's service sector accounts for about 53.3% of GDP. Transport, storage, communications, finance, and insurance account for 24% of this sector, and wholesale and retail trade about 30%. Pakistan is trying to promote the information industry and other modern service industries through incentives such as long-term tax holidays. In Pakistan, following are the top mobile phone operators: 1.Mobilink (Parent: Orascom Telecom, Egypt) 2.Ufone (Parent: PTCL / Etisalat, Pakistan/UAE) 3.Telenor (Parent: Telenor, Norway) 4.Warid (Parent: Abu Dhabi Group / SingTel, UAE/Singapore) 5. Zong (Parent: China Mobile, China)1.3 China Mobile Communications Corporation (CMCC) China Mobile Communications (CMCC) incorporated in the year 2000, is the world's largest telecom operator, dominating 66.5% of Mainland Chinas market share. It operates as a 100% state owned entity in 31 different provinces and employs in excess of 175,000 people. CMCC network covers 99.7% of Chinas population and has over 900,000 BTS sites. Its customer base is over 672 million and has operating revenue of $8.3 billion.CMCC is perhaps the only cellular network that provides uninterrupted, reliable coverage through tunnels, on highways, inside sky scraper elevators as well on top of Mount Everest. It has a global presence in Hong Kong, Pakistan, San Francisco and London and currently has international roaming partnerships with 406 operators in 237 countries and regions.The company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange as well as the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. By the end of 2011, 2G base stations exceeded 700,000 and 3G base stations increased to approximately 220,000 covering country level and above cities which strengthened the depth and contiguous coverage in the main districts.The four main brands for CMCC are; Gotone (for high-end subscribers), Easy-own (for mass), M-Zone (for youth), G3(for 3G). TD-LTE is the future network, which will carry high bandwidth and high quality wireless broadband business. The development of TD-LTE is a core component of CMCCs development strategy, where the Group will actively promote TD-LTE scale-trial and commercialization and drive the technical and supply chain integration of TDD and FDD.CMCCs first overseas subsidiary, China Mobile Pakistan has the license to offer and operate voice, data and all value added services in the entire country. One of the fastest growing cellular markets in the world, Pakistan is a key region that is likely to offer expansion opportunities as well as the chance to make a difference in the lives of a growing clientele that is demanding and understands and appreciates better quality and service standards.Zong is committed on attracting and retaining the best human resource from all over Pakistan.

CHAPTER #07: SWOT ANALYSIS OF ZONG CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTERThe SWOT analysis covers strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats. Strengths and weakness are generally internal attributes. Opportunities and threats are generally external attributes. So, SWOT analysis of CSC Hyderabad is given below:7.1 Strengths of ZONG Customer Service CenterStrengths are defined as any activity the organization does well or any unique resources the organization has. Some strengths of ZONG Customer Service Center are given below: All the products and services which ZONG is offering are available here in this CSC of Hyderabad and also all the services of ZONG are activated and deactivated here. Motivated, educated and qualified staff makes services more reliable and satisfy customers.7.2 Weaknesses of ZONG Customer Service CenterWeaknesses are defined as any activity the organization does not do well or the resources the organization needs but it does not possess. According to my point of view following are the some weaknesses of ZONG Customer Service Center: Number of CSR is not sufficient here in CSC Hyderabad, customer some time should have to wait for their turn a bit. The staff of CSC is not involved in more outdoor activities.7.3 Opportunities of ZONG Customer Service CenterOpportunities are defined as positive trend of organization in external environment. According to my point of view following are the some opportunities of ZONG Customer Service Center: Sales of this CSC can be increased if more and more outdoor activities (establish stall outside like in market or anywhere) are being done by the management of this CSC. SEs are very good for this CSC because customer get information on the go.7.4 Threats of ZONG Customer Service CenterThreats are defined as the negative trends of organization in environment.According to my point of view following are the some threats of ZONG Customer Service Center: Competitors are the biggest threat for any company. Here also exist Warid, Ufone and Telenors CSCs so they are biggest threat for ZONG CSC. Policies of TMA are also some time threatening when they are on outdoor activity. When staff of CSC Hyderabad wants to do outdoor activity it must have to get NOC from TMA Islamabad and TMA Islamabad has its own limitations. Another threat is that according to PTA rules any one can switch to other mobile network which they think are reliable and due to signal problem and call drop complains customers are leaving ZONG.

Conclusion

ZONG have a 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 can check in the market growth analysis ZONG increased its market share by 10% from December 2014 to December 2015. It is very big achievement for the ZONG because it is new brand in the market. As ZONG has become the favorite brand of the youngsters just because of its best prepaid packages and the best 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 more and more packages for its customers ZONG also have to focus on it and provide more offerings to its customers. The best suggestion for ZONG to become more favorite brand of telecom customers 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 have to use more promotion campaigns to increase the sale.

Suggestions and Recommendations

After doing internship in the ZONG I have find out some deficiencies in the ZONG so I 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 emphasis on hiring young, fresh, and energetic personnel and they should train their old experienced workers because human resource are the assets of the company, after training those old workers will perform well as compare to the fresh workers. ZONG mobile should use strategy to provide the spare parts for the ZONG mobile in market, so customers can repair the mobile after the warranty, due to this step customer will get more faith on China Mobiles. China Mobiles have huge experience of network operation in similar high mountainous areas in china itself. Therefore, 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. To increase the market share of the company and to get more loyal customers ZONG have to launch more wireless broadband packages because there is signal problem of the cellular companies as compare to existing wireless broadband companies (as wateen, evo are major players), so company can get competitive advantage to provide this facility.
