subscriber growth rate of over 200% in the last year, and since the start of 2005 Ufone
added nearly 5 million subscribers onto its network. A remarkable achievement indeed,
especially considering the fact those two new international players also entered into the
market in 2005.

8. While keeping its tradition of being the Trend setter in the industry, Ufone changed the
image of mobile phones from a luxury only affordable by the elite, to a necessity affordable
by the common man.
9. Ufone increased its Focus on the youth segment (which comprises 50% of the
population), with the Prepay brand.
10. Ufone has the ability to retain its existing customer base with a high level of customer
satisfaction via optimum network service and a 24 hour call center facility.
11. It has the post paid service that is normally to attract the Business class people. Most of the
business and elite class people use post paid and other services offered by the Ufone.
12. Ufone has a subscriber base of 18.97 million as of October 2008.

13. Ufone was the first cellular Company in Pakistan that introduced the service of GPRS and

class.
15. GPRS Roaming facility is available with more than 75 Live Operators across 59 countries.
16. Variety of Value Added Service.
17. Coverage on GT Road 60%.
18. Established customer base including lower middle class. Fewer rates than competitors.

WEAKNESSES
1. Ufone 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.
2. It has many franchises in the whole country but as its customers are increasing day by
day so its present franchises are not enough to fulfill the needs of it customers.
3. Ufone also face problems and its network get jammed on special occasions like Eid,
Christmas, New year etc
4. Ufone has the problem of voice quality. Though its coverage area is vast and it covers more
than 750 towns and cities in Pakistan but the voice quality is not as good as it should be.
5. Behind on Excessive Demand. This is Ufone's biggest weakness is not attempting to meet
the demands
6. Poor Organizational Structure. Centralized structure failed to provide proper guidance
over instruction and policies
7. Stagnant Profitability. As compared to financial assets, Ufone is not close to expected
profitability
8. Overly Dependent on PTCL. Subsidiary of PTCL, it is dependent on PTCL.
9. Not targeting the rural areas at the moment.
10. Less coverage in remote areas.
11. In northern areas its coverage is a bit poor.
12. In Ufone web support is not available. Its customers service staff needs training because at
many franchises their employees are having been complained about behaving rudely.

13. Ufone is plagued with some internal problems like when it is privatized to Etisalaat being
the part of the PTCL many employees were not happy with the pay scale that they were
offering.

OPPORTUNITIES
1. It should introduced International SMS packages like local SMS. Already Ufone is offering
lowest International SMS rates but if they introduce some package like this it will get lots
and lots of success.
2. They should also introduce some International call packages to Middle Eastern countries
because there are lots of Pakistanis who are living in those countries so people will
definitely be tempted towards such package.
3. In Ufone ghanta package time of the package should be extend two more hours so that
more & more people will use this service and causing Ufone to generate more revenues &
hidden charges should be removed.
4. Ufone should develop some new franchises in remote areas so that people will get more
and more benefit from it and it will help to increase their customers.
5. As in Pakistan Youth is almost the 50% of the population so Ufone can take advantage of
this demographic situation and should introduce more and more services and packages that
attracts youth towards it.
6. Ufone should extend its network coverage area to Northern part of the country as well
because in that part not too many companies are giving services and if Ufone give its
service there then it will definitely attract people and its number of customers will shoot
like a rocket.
7. It should also introduce some packages for Internet users on mobile if it do so then many
people will switch from other networks towards it.
8. If Ufone enhance its voice quality then definitely it would be prefer more by customers.

9. Ufone can surprise its competitors by introducing Ufone kiosk. These will be ATM like
machines and that will give 24-hour service to Ufone subscribers to load the balance just
like they take money from ATM.

THREATS
1. As Ufone is cellular company and there is cut throat competition among cellular companies
in Pakistan. There are six other companies also working in Pakistan so Ufone would have
to face some growing competitive pressures.
2. Pakistan is facing some serious economic problems now days so that would also affect
Ufone. The current recession in market is not good for any kind of business including
telecommunication.
3. In Baluchistan and FATA where Ufone already has network coverage is in danger because
of critical situation and operation being held there. Investment of Ufone is in danger.
4. Ufone penetrated in the market from 2005 to 2007 quite rapidly but since then it is
experiencing a bit slower growth.
5. By the arrival of China Mobile Company (Zong) in cellular industry of Pakistan the Ufone
and other companies now have to face the severe competition. As Zong is introducing some
various attractive packages of both SMS and calls to attract customers. Ufone have to
develop strategies to counter their strategy and to survive in the market.
6. The key threat to Ufone is also some adverse Government policies of implementing Tax on
telecommunication industry that will ultimately affect the revenues.
7. There are some rumors about the shares of PTCL in the market. Being the Subsidiary
company of PTCL, Ufone will also be affected by that.

8. Telenor is giving higher rumenration to its employees as compared to Ufone so many of its
skillful and competent employees are going there. That will affect the companys
profitability in the long run.
9. Some Pressure groups are protesting on the Towers that are installed in residential areas.
Their opinion is that it is not good for health of people to have such towers near their
homes that cause radiations.

COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
The competitive environment for mobile telephony in Pakistan is tough and Ufones is a
major player of the market. Primary competition is of course between four mobile
operators for the share of the market. But there is other potential source of competition,
which should also be taken into consideration

DIRECT COMPETITION:

Direct competition to Ufone service is with thee licensed mobile world in todays
market. These are:
Mobilink.
Warid telecom.
Telenor.
Zong
INDIRECT COMPETITION:

The indirect competition is from:


Fixed line services.
Card payphone services.
Prepaid calling cards.
Massive expansion in penetration and quality of fixed line, payphone and prepaid calling cards
can effect mobile business environment. Economic Scenario of Pakistan makes this
observation relevant because mobile services are still comparatively much expensive and
customer may prefer to use cheaper, more readily available alternatives

Target Market
Ufone has the target market concerning youth in the nation. This target market of youngster
comprises 40% of the population. Ufone has targeted the corporate class for which the Ufone is
customizing the packages in order to preserve the existing small businessman.
Gender: Both Male & Female
Target Class: Middle & Lower Middle Class
Targeting: Mainly they are targeting to youth, if we look at their ads, which are
shown on the TV, we got the clear idea.
Income Group: Rs. 15,000 & above

BCG GROWTH-SHARE MATRIX FOR UFONE

Companies that are large enough to be organized into strategic business units 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 relative to
competitors.

BCG Growth-Share Matrix

Ufone

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.

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.
STAR - (HIGH GROWTH, HIGH MARKET SHARE)
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.
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.
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.
