communications technology, providing support to Warid's efforts to take mobile
telephony in Pakistan to new levels of quality and availability. Coupled with Nokia's
market-leading portfolio of phones, Warid's GSM services will bring a new era of mobile
communications that aims to both corporate and private consumers through increased

ConclusionSo far looking at the Warid strategies, I have come to conclusion that to survive in the
long run Warid is doing strategic partnership with Nokia and Ericson. It’s like that they
can’t manage their network by their own. It seems they can’t do research of market so
they are taking help from international companies that are already functioning in the
Pakistan. Warid is increasing its customer base, but not considering quality of their
network. So it will create problems for them in the future. Customer complaints are not
fulfilled by the Warid. There is no rapid response to the need of the customers. Warid is
not very successful globally. It is functioning in Bangladesh and Uganda, these are
developing countries. And Warid is not very successful in both of the country. Warid is
now unable to continue its cost leadership strategy.
Recommendations
People are unaware of Warid because of lack of advertisement. So they must adopt
the strategies to enhance it through T.V ads, newspaper, and bill boards to aware
about their product.
Makes their managerial level stable and make them aware of their packages.
Marketing strategies are unsuccessful and not meet customer wants.
Website doesn’t provide the basic information about Warid Telecom.
Warid have to offer the best SMS and MMS packages, best call rates and services
to retain their customers.
