TRANSMITTAL MEMORANDUMTo:
Department of Management SciencesAllama Iqbal Open University Islamabad
From:
SUBJECT: INTERNSHIP REPORT ON PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY LIMITED
Internship report on any organization is a necessary element to get the MBA degree from anyuniversity. I have written an internship report on PTCL and review its Human Resourcesystem / procedures adopted for such purpose.
My major recommendation is this: PTCL should improve their contact with middle &
lower level employees especially supervisory level and establish internal performance
appraisal system to avoid the future complications & to evaluate the employee performance & encouraging them. That conclusion was arrived at after eight weeksextensive practical training/study in the HR department of the company. Besides this, I
also studied the role of C.B.A during the latest proposal of Volunteer Separation Scheme
(VSS) for employees.
Because of my analysis, companys officials felt these flaws in the system & are agree on mysuggestions and wanted to implement them in near future. I am grateful to my seniors,
colleges, and subordinates who assist me to complete this comprehensive report in anexcellent way.
If the members of the review committee of this report have any additional questions, I
Inshallah will try my best to do it more well way. At last I thankful to the University who
give me an opportunity to review/study the HR system/process of company.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: AN INTERNSHIP REPORT ONPAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION
COMPANY LIMITED
AUTHORIZATION This report is a necessary part of MBA degree program.
REOCMMENDATION: Department of management sciences of the university
advised every student to submit. It was done after the
completion of all subjects. The main purpose of this report
is, review of the human resources techniques & systems
adopted by the organization. Find out their weaknesses and
give suggestions for improvements. I strongly recommend
that company should improve their contact with middle &
lower level employees especially supervisory level and
establish internal performance appraisal system to avoid the
future complications & to evaluate the employee
performance & encourage them.
PROCESS OF REVIEW Data from June, 2005-2007 were taken for analysis, and
METHODOLOGY:
PROBLEMS:
Human Resource Management practices followed by the
company seen practically whether the company adopted
them according to the international labor law standards or
not. I had been working in this organization since five
years. Therefore, I was in a better position to review the
system in an efficient way.
A central problem in the HRM systems of the company is
lack of contact & feedback from & to employees there is a
lack of co-ordination between different departments of the
organization as well as into a specific branch. Another
problem is lack of trained staff & political pressure for

transfers/postings etc on middle management. Like wise
lake of automation and state-of-the-art latest IT technology for
correspondence between the contents of the companycausing the delay in work and negatively affecting the over all
performance of the company.
I point out those weak areas, and hope that company if,
adopted my suggestion and recommendation can overcome
the problems. This will also benefit for the other systems of
the company.

PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY LIMITED(PTCL)
Established on January 1, 1996
Head Office: - Pakistan Telecommunication Company LimitedG-8/4, Islamabad
INTRODUCTION
even years into a new century, the telecom sector of world finds itself at
crossroads after changing itself almost beyond recognition over the last 25
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 unprecedented pace. Although there
has been a phenomenal growth in Pakistan, especially in the cellular mobile
communication and in the internet, yet the late density remains almost stagnant.
So far PTCL is the sole land line service provider of Pakistan. PTCL is the giant of
Pakistan telecommunication industry and enjoying the monopoly. This part of the report
contains a brief introduction of PTCL. This introduction is divided into two parts, history
and current situation.
BRIEF HISTORY
Over the years, technology has changed the concept of communication and what wasthought to be a fictional only a decade ago, has actually made its way through to our
hands today. This is the future we dreamt of so fondly. Welcome to the modern age, of
telecommunication, which have become complementary to our lives. But there must
also be an anchor to introduce, allow, improve and channelize all these services and

innovations sweeping through the globe. In Pakistan same anchor is Pakistan
Telecommunication Company Limited from the humble beginnings of posts &
Telegraph Department in 1947 and establishment of Pakistan Telephone & TelegraphDepartment in 1962, to this very day, PTCL is a story of commitment and vision.
Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation (PTC) set sails for its voyage of glory In
December 1990, taking over operations and functions from Pakistan Telephone and
Telegraph Department under Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation Act 1991. This
coincided with the Governments competitive Policy, encouraging Private Sector
participation and resulting in award of licenses for Cellular, card-operated Payphones,
paging and, lately, data communication Services.
Pursuing a progressive policy, the Government in 1991, announced its Plans to privatize
PTC, 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. It also paved the way for the establishment of an
independent regulatory regime. 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 in Pakistan. Since then, PTCL has been working vigorously to meet the dual
Challenge of telecom development and socio-economic uplift of the country. This is
characterized by a clearer appreciation of ongoing telecom scenario where in
convergence of technologies continuously changes the shape of the Sector. A measureof this understanding is progressive measures such as Establishment of the companys
mobile and Internet subsidiaries (U-fone & Paknet) in 1998.
As telecommunication monopolies head towards and imminent end, services and
infrastructure providers are set to face even bigger challenges. Pakistan also entered

post-monopoly era with deregulation of the sector in January 2003. On the Government
level, a comprehensive liberalization policy for Telecom sector has already been
announced now. Now PTA have issued License to two new telecom companies inPakistan TELENOR international and WARID TEL this act will put some challenges for
PTCL to cope with.
PTCL is in process of enhancing organizational and business Proficiency through
vertical integration and horizontal diversification. At the same time, cross-national
ownerships, operations and partnerships are being evaluated with a view to developing
and diversifying the business.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Financial analysis of any organization is very necessary for the evaluation and
assessment of a firm. The information derived from these types of analysis should be
blended to determine the overall financial position. This analysis includes ratio analysis,
common size analysis and the study of differences in components of financial
statement. One of the primary objectives is identification of major changes in trends,
amounts and relationship and investigation of the reasons underlying those changes.
In the financial analysis of P.T.C.L we will analyze some important information about
the company. As I did my internship in human resource management, but it has not an
independent organization so I have to analyze the P.T.C.L for the analysis purpose.
Current ratio
Current Ratio is an indicator to determine the short term debt paying ability or the
liquidity of a company. It tells us that how many current assets are available to pay for the current liabilities of the company. Current ratio of the company in 31 Mar 2008 is
1.67& is favorable for a company. The ideal condition is 1.1 but ratio is quite
reasonable.
Quick ratio:
Quick ratio or the acid test ratio also performs the same task as is performed by current
ratio but with more sophistication. Quick ratio of the company is 1.5 up to Mar 31, 2008its quick ratio is decreasing. As P.T.C.L is a service organization there fore the quick
ratio is very good because there is not need of inventory as any manufacturing
organization needs.

Internship Report
Marketing Department is called a revenue-generating department of an organization.
Marketing Department undertakes market research and gives feedback to management
about customers needs and wants on the basis of which, products and services are
developed and positioned to give value to the customers. Thus Marketing department of
an organization plays a pivotal role in its business development, growth & expansion.
During my internship I worked with PTCL marketing department. Through working
there I gain so much practical knowledge that will help me during my practical life. For
understanding the work flow and the operation of the department we have to move in
certain manner. We have to look the key operation the structure of the department and in
the end the focus will be on the critical analysis.
So we will move in the pattern describe below:-
Marketing strategy of PTCL
Market segmentation of PTCL
Marketing mix of PTCL
Promotional strategy of PTCL
1. Marketing Strategy of PTCL
For understanding the marketing department work flow and its function we must have
clear picture of the PTCLs marketing strategy. For developing clear understanding of
marketing strategy of PTCL there is no one line statement or clear vision of marketing
- 31 -

Internship Report
department so we have to move traditionally .Classically, Marketing has been all about the
four Ps: Product, Place, 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 productto the market. Thus the marketer is the steward of the value proposition, ensuring that the
firm is delivering maximum value to its customers.
We will briefly discuss below the marketing strategy, product planning, development &
management, Pricing strategy, distribution strategy and promotional strategy: -
Marketing Strategy
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 Ps i.e. Product, Price, Promotion and place.
TARGET MARKET
PTCLs 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 Services Centers 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 services like CLI, VMS,
and Digital Facilities etc.
- 32 -

Internship Report
2. Market Segmentation
Basically PTCL segmented its market on two bases
To better implement customer services features, segment the market on a
customer basis:
- Corporate- Resident ional
on the basis of services as:- Telephony- Data- Video
PTCL has segmented its market for its services and products to effectively deal with its
customers. Some of its services like Universal Access Number, Co-Location centers and
virtual private network are specially targeted at corporate customers and business
concerns. The other services like new telephone connections, digital services etc. are
meant for mass market. The services like Internet, fax facility etc. are targeted at both the
corporate and general customers.
POSITIONING STRATEGY
As PTCL is the sole provider of the landline telecom services in the country; it is the
market leader in providing these services because there are no competitors to challenge
its market leader status. Thus presently PTCL is facing no problems in positioning its
services in the market as a market leader because it enjoys monopoly in the industry.
However, with the deregulation of telecom sector PTCL is gearing up itself to maintain
this market leader position, on the other hand competitors are doing to challenge it.

3. MARKETING MIX
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 have a 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 thetechnology 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:
Being a government organization, PTCL is not authorized to determine the prices of
its products itself, the Telecom Regulator Authority viz. Pakistan Telecommunication
Authority (PTA) fixes the prices of telecom services. The process is such that whenever
PTCL intends to increase or reduce the rates of its services, it submits its Proposal toPTA for approval. PTA then calls 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 PTCLs proposal, the
new rates are enforced. It may be mentioned here that telecom technology is only
- 35 -
-
8/6/2019 Intership Report MBA HRM (2003)
45/95
Internship Report
technology whose rates are on the decline with the passage of time. PTCL also
rationalizes its tariff with the passage of time. Tariff rationalization process started in
1997 as part of GoP Telecom Sector policy for privatization of this sector. It was mainlyfocused on rebalancing the domestic process like NWD, international, local call, line
rent etc. Rebalancing is completed by the end of 2003 (as per Tariff rates) with the
objective to position PTCL for competition.
4. PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY
PTCL is using following components of promotional mix for the promotion and
Publicity of its product/services.
Advertising:
In promotional mix, PTCLs main stress is on advertising in print and electronic media.
PTCL periodically places its advertisements in print media on services like H/Qs
hotline 0800-44544, Caller line identification (CLI), Voice Messaging Service,
Digital Facilities, PTCL Prepaid Calling Cards, Inquiry 17, Complaint 18, phone
bill cards prepaid telephone etc. to remind the customers of these services.
Sometimes, corporate ads are also released to print media to mark special occasions.
PTCLs Commercials on Prepaid Calling Card, CLI, Voice Messaging, Digital
Facilities etc. are also broadcast immediately on electronic media as reminders to
Customers.
Sales Promotion:
PTCL charges 1/3rd rates on national calls from 06:00 pm - 07:00 am and local calls
are free from 11:00 pm to 06:00 am to promote the usage of its telecom network.
Moreover, PTCL offers special rate packages on special occasions like Ramadan
Package and EID package, which offer customer reduced rates for specific timings. For
Example, In EID Package PTCL charges half rates from 6:00am - 6:00pm and quarter
- 36 -
-
8/6/2019 Intership Report MBA HRM (2003)
46/95
Internship Report
from 6:00pm - 6:00 am to attract customers to use its telephone service. These rates
result in increased revenue for PTCL and also facilitate the customers to talk to their
near and dear ones on these special occasions on affordable rates.
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 products. At the moment, PTCLs
Customer Services Centers are playing the role of sales outlets. Customers can make
telephone calls; send fax messages from these Customer Services Centers. They can
also get connected their telephone bills and get duplicate bills from these outlets.
However, with the establishment of Marketing Department in PTCL, The marketing
professionals are now in the process of inducting professional sales force for the
company.

STAFF ROLE OF THE HUMAN RESOURCEDEPARTMENT
The Human Resource department of the company operates in an auxiliary, advisory, or
facilitative relationship to other departments in the organization. Any staff unit, whether it
be personnel or otherwise, exists to help the line effectively. It has been created in the first
place to take advantage of specialized talent and knowledge.
The H.R department of the company generally performs the following roles:
Policy Initiation and formulation
Advice
Service
Control

POLICY INITIATION AND FORMULATION
The SEVP of the H.R. Department is the individual most actively involved in policy
revision to cover recurring problem or to prevent anticipated problems. Ordinarily these
are proposed to the president of the company, and it is up on the latters authority that
the policy is actually issued. When proposing a new or revised policy the personnel
director must analyze problem that have occurred in the past, survey other companies to
determine how they handle similar situations, discuss the matter with colleagues and
subordinates and give due consideration to the prevailing philosophy in the
organization.

ADVICE
A major portion of the activities of those engaged in staff personnel work is in the
nature of counsel and advice to line manager. Countless examples can be given. A shop
foreman may be confronted with a grievance over distribution of overtime. Another
foreman may have the problem employee who he feels should be disciplined or even
suspended. At the time of the annual review of all salaried personnel for possible pay
increases, the operating manager plays a key role in advising operating manager on the
administration of the program. An apparent concerted slow down may occur in the
assembly department. It may have been instituted by the union in retaliation for the
cutting of piece rates the week before. How should production supervision handle thissituation.
The H.R. Managers and their staffs are expected to be fully familiar with H.R. policy,
the labor agreement, past experience and the needs and welfare of both the company
and the employees in order to develop a sound solution. Successful personnel specialist
must be people centered. They must be feeling sensitive, wants, and motives of other
people. At the same time they must continually be cognizant of their obligation to
preserve the structure and functioning of the organization. In fact, this really is the
essence of H.R. management. Management must seek to so direct and coordinate the
efforts of the people that the goals of the organization are achieved while at the same
time providing need satisfactions for the members of that organization.

SERVICE
The service responsibilities of the H.R. department are apparent when one examines
such things are as the employment, training, and benefits functions. The tasks of
recruiting, interviewing and testing job applicants are performed in the H.R. Dept.
Training programs are planned, Organized and often staffed through the H.R. Dept.
H.R. Dept must see that adequate instructional materials and facilities are available.
Once pension and insurance programs have been setup, all claims must be through the
H.R. Dept. The maintenance of adequate employee records is a service function that
permeates all functional specialties within the personnel field.

Control
The H.R. Dept carries out important control functions. It monitors the performance of
line department and other staff departments to ensure that they conform to established
personnel policy, procedures, and practices. The control function of the personnel
department is quite comparable to the activities of a quality control group that measures
product variables to ensure conformance to engineering specifications or to the
activities of the auditing staff that inspects accounting records to ascertain conformance
with prescribed standards.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT FUNCTIONS
H.R. Management activities are carried on both by the staff H.R. Dept and by operating
management in the course of directing the activities of the work force. Variation from
the pattern described may occur in particular companies because of special
circumstances.
This function includes recruitment, selection, and induction into the organization. The
initial decision to add someone to the payroll is made by line management. It is also its
responsibility to determine the content of the job to be performed and the employeequalifications necessary to perform the job satisfactorily. Very commonly, statements of
job content and employee qualification have been previously worked out jointly
between line management and the H.R. Dept. These are recorded in the form of job
descriptions and job specification. The H.R. Dept must develop and maintain adequate
sources of labor. It must set up and operate the employee selection system, which may
include interviews, selection tests, a medical examination, and reference checks. Quite
commonly the role of the H.R. Dept is one of screening with the final decision to hire or
reject being made by the supervisor who requested the new employee. However, in the
case of large-scale hiring program of unskilled or skilled workers, the H.R. Dept is
commonly granted full and final authority to make the hiring decision. The new
employees supervisor bears important responsibilities for introducing his/her to the
new work environment. This is often called orientation.

TRANSFER, PROMOTION, LAYOFF
For these tasks the H.R. Dept serves primarily in a coordinative capacity. When
employees are moved from one department to another either because of the needs of the
business or because of individual requests, the personnel records may be studied to
ascertain that they posses the requisite skills. Layoffs typically are processed by the
H.R. Dept to ensure that the proper order of preference is followed. This can become
complicated of combinations of jobs, departmental, and plant wide seniority rights must
be observed. When a vacancy occurs in a position, it may be filled by promotion from
within or by direct hiring from outside the company. This decision is often made jointly
between the H.R. Manager and the executive in change of the department where the
vacancy has occurred. Many companies may establish policies to cover matters of this
type. The actual final decision as to which candidate is chosen for the promotion is
largely made by the executive in whose unit the vacancy has occurred.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
On-the-job training and coaching are performed by the line supervisor or by a specially
designated employee who acts in the role of an instructor. It is the responsibility of the
personnel industrial relations group to determine training needs in cooperation with the
line management. Once the needs are established, the personnel training specialists
must design a program to accomplish the desired results. If the program takes the form of
in service class room courses, it usually is administrated by H.R. Department.

understudies, and special broadening assignments are largely executed by operating
managers but coordinated by a central H.R. Dept.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
A significant part on occupational health programs is the identification and control of agents within the working environment that can cause occupational diseases. Some
agents may be gases, dusts, fumes, toxic chemicals and metals, noise, heat, radiation,
biological substances and stress. Industrial hygienists are employed to identify and
control such hazards to health.
Other important elements of an employee health programs are pre-employment medical
examinations, periodic examinations for those working on jobs having exposure to
occupational disease-causing agents, rendering of first aid, treatment of minor ailments
such as colds and headache, and providing health education information. Small
companies typically hire physicians, nurses and industrial hygienists only on the
consulting and part time basis. Large firms tend to be staffed with full time personnels in
these areas. The safety program is directed toward the prevention of work injuries. The
main elements are engineering, education and enforcement.
PTCL is offering both its own medical facility setup & the private hospitals on its panel. The
miner health problems are dealt by PTCL own medical facility/staff & other in which
patient is to be admitted or operated are forwarded to the panel hospitals.
PTCL also offers reimbursement of expenses to the remote areas staff as they can not
reach to PTCL hospital in any emergency.

DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE
Discipline has two principal meanings. In the first sense it means training that molds or
corrects. This means the achieving and maintaining of orderly employee behavior
because the people understand and believe in the established codes of conduct. The
second meaning of the term discipline refers to punishment of wrongdoers.
The H.R. department commonly assumes the responsibility for formulating the list of
necessary rules together with the range of penalties for each offense. Frequently this list of
rules and penalties is discussed and cleared with high-level line management before it is
issued and communicated throughout the organization. These rules are called terms andconditions formerly known as Employment & Discipline (E&D) rules.
Most commonly, actual approval by the H.R. department has to be obtained before and
employee may be discharged. The reason is that discharge is a very serve penalty and
should be used only when a very clear case can be shown. In addition, it is especially vital
to achieve companywide uniformity in the handling of such cases.

LABOR RELATIONS
When a union has been certified by the National Industrial Relations Commission
N.I.R.C , as the result of an election, as the sole and exclusive bargaining agency
(C.B.A) for the employees, then management must bargain with it in regard to wages, rate
of pay, hours of work, and other conditions of employment. The principal tasks
involved in handling labor relations are contract negotiation, contract interpretation and
administration, and grievance handling.
The H.R. department plays very significant role in labor-management relations. The
director of industrial relation usually serves as a key member of the bargaining teamoften acting a chief management spokesman. In operating on a day-to-day basis under
the terms of the labor agreement, line supervision often finds frequently occasion to
consult the H.R. department regarding such matters like allocation of over time,
handling of transfers and layoffs, and the application of contract work rules.

BENEFITS AND SERVICES
Included under this category are pensions, group life insurance, hospital and medicalinsurance, sickness leave pay plans, supplemental unemployment compensation, loan
funds, credit unions, social programs, recreational programs and college tuition refunds

The actual decision to establish or to expand these programs is nearly always made by top
line management upon the advice and consultation of the H.R. department. The actual
design of pension and insurance programs requires a great deal of technical
knowledge. These programs are generally worked out in conjunction with insurance
companies or insurance consultants. After these plans are installed, the day-to-day
processing of claims is handled by the H.R. department
