Pre-paid M2M Pre-paid Standard Post-paid M2M Post-paid M2M+ Post-paid Standard Upper Class INTIMIDATION AND PRESSURES IN THE TELECOM SECTOR :Bargaining power of buyers is growing for Banglalink because cellular phone customers have significantly high bargaining power because of the low cost of procurement of a hand set and SIM card.High degree of rivalry in the telecom industry has created and the scenario of telecom industry of Bangladesh has drastically changed when OTH invested in the country by purchasing 100% equity of Sheba Telecom Ltd.Banglalink gotpressure as the new entrants which were high.Bangladesh has a potential market for telecom industry as mobile telephony penetration in the country being somewhere around 8.54% of the total population of 148 million in the country. So, Telecom industry of Bangladesh is now at growth stage, which is attracting the foreign investors of world telecom market.ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AFFECTING BANGLALINK :

Warning of Substitute Products: New innovation and introduction of new value added services by one Telecom Company creates strong threat for other existing companies. Introduction of GPRS and internet browsing facility by Grameen Phone & AKTEL has made threat and affected the business of banglalink and CityCell.Political environment: Frequent change in government policy regarding tax, VAT, import and the like. There are complexities related to law and regulations. Government decision to enter mobile telecommunication industry effects of events in international politics.Economic Environment: Worldwide negative economic impact after September 11, 2001affecting Bangladesh too.High tax imposition by the government will reduce the buying power of the consumers.Social Environment: In Bangladesh, society is clearly clustered in to different categories along different dimensions. Suppose higher and lower class population in the society.Technological Environment: Technologically, Bangladesh is still far behind than the standard. Lack of technical skill is a regular phenomenon for every industry in Bangladesh.

ISSUES FACING BANGLALINK:

The poor image of Sheba Telecom Banglalink was as good as dead, and thus a dog (even in a high growth market) while it operated under the brand name Sheba.Operational Issue: The Company plans to provide mobile communication coverage to all the 61 districts of the country and its major highways by the end of the year.Strategic issues: In a country where the mobile telephony penetration is below 2%, the best strategic move for any operator would be to concentrate on expanding the subscriber base.However, in a population where majority of the people live below the poverty line it is doubtful as to how far the companies can succeed in increasing percentage penetration.

CURRENT OPERATIONS OF BANGLALINK :

Banglalink is grabbing market share: In the 1styear of its operation, banglalink was able to hold the position of highest growth rate of world telecom industry and this growth rate was 1363%.Currently it has subscriber base of 1.64 million. Rapid improvement in network quality and coverage: Banglalink has kept their promise regarding the network coverage. Banglalink network has covered 61 districts and highways within a time span of 10 months. Lowest call rate for upper class (post-paid) subscribers: Banglalink is trying to keep its promise to make cellular phone affordable for the country people. In other way around, Banglalinks lower call rate offering strategy pressurized the other operators to reduce the tariff rate.

CURRENT OPERATIONS OF BANGLALINK :

Banglalink is grabbing market share: In the 1styear of its operation, banglalink was able to hold the position of highest growth rate of world telecom industry and this growth rate was 1363%. This surprising growth rate reflects Bangla links aggressive carriage in grabbing market share.Spontaneous brand awareness: By the end of one year of its operation, banglalink has a spontaneous brand awareness of more than 78% which is astonishing.Rapid improvement in network quality and coverage: Banglalink top management has declared that the company will cover most of the major districts and highways with its network coverage.

Hence, the people of Bangladesh are now talking through cellular phone at a cost of only 4.00 TK on an average where only one tears before the average price for 1 minute call 7 TK. was the call rate for upper class (post-paid) subscriber is only TK 3.48 / minute which is also the lowest in the in the industry. So, we can say that banglalink is playing an important role to make the cell phone more affordable.

ThemeBanglalink is one of the fastest growing telecom service providers in Bangladesh yet it is not the market leader here. It is facing an IT of problem including poor brand image and poor network. Moreover recently it has got itself into a contradictory situation with the government regarding the high call rate.

Customers are facing a lot of haragment regarding this. In spite of all those problem banglalink is trying to be the market leader by solving all the problems and giving the customer best service at a lowest possible price.

Main issue

PESTLE analysisPolitical environment:Present scenario:For any business politics is a 2major concern. A good political environment can work as a great opportunity and a bad political environment can demolish the chance of success for the business. While doing business in Bangladesh Banglalink has faced a political problem which has bring about a huge conflict between Banglalink and the government. Although Banglalink has set a lower call rate than its other competitor it is still very high to reduce compared to the world standard. So the government has told Banglalink to reduce their call rate otherwise they will increase the vat on the per unit SIM Banglalink will sell from next. It will cause SIM price to go above a thousand taka. If it is so the customer buying power will decrease and they will not be able to purchase a new SIM, so the huge amount Banglalink is going to invest in networking will be in danger. Because they are hoping lots of new cutomer is going to purchase mobile SIM. So if the government is imposing higher tax consumer may not be interested to purchase new SIM. It is a great threat to a rising company.Past scenario:The cellular network is comparatively new concept in the context of Bangladesh. All though the grameen phone and city cell has started doing business in the past six month, their service is only for some selective people only who have great financial capacity. In the beginning the cost was comparatively high and government did not interfere in telecom industry in terms of pricing of per unit call. So the companies used to charge as their own wish. The companies had gained the first mover advantage. Having an cell phone was an privilege at that time.Projected scenario:In future it is expected that the pricing for per minute call will decrease as government has imposed pleasure on the telecom company to reduce the per minute call rate. This reduction will take place not only for government policies but also for that Banglalink wants to increase its market share and want to reach a lot more of people. They want to make this thing available for everybody and to make this available to everybody Banglalink should reduce the call rate otherwise people will not be able to effort the SIM card or the call rate so it would still be the product of rich people.

Economical environment:Economics is the main concept for all the business. Before starting a business the entrepreneur should conduct an economic survey that means the demand and supply profitability and the overall environment and trend of the economy. after conducting this the business should proceed.Present scenario:Bangladesh is a developing country. Most of the people live here bellow poverty line. So it has very low GDP and GNP. The income for individual is also low. It refers that consumer has less buying power and to sustain in this market Banglalink has to think accordingly. but the economy of Bangladesh is facing a huge push up recently so it may help Banglalink. The inflation rate is also too high it means Banglalink has to expense more on its eequipment. As most of its equipment will be more costly than any previous time duoo influation.Previous scenario:Previously Bangladesh also had a lower GDP and GNP, all the money were holed by some selective people. Less use of technology and human resources productivity was also poor. For most of the people the cell phone was a matter of luxury and only selective people used the cell phone. So the company has to increase price in order to make profit and remain on their business. The inflation rate was also lees specially in the case of industry sector. So the cost of doing business was also less.Future scenario:Bangladesh is a developing county its economy is growing faster. The most important thing is that the wealth is not centre oriented any more all the people will earn more and they will have a lot of money left in their hand after they fulfill their basic necicity.this is actually the main opportunity for Banglalink . Because the people will want to expense their extra money to develop their quality of life. And to increase the quality of life they will chose the cell phone. Abiding by the economic rule if Banglalink reduce the price of call rate and the SIM card the demand for Banglalink SIM will increase because it will allow more middle class people to use cell phone and ultimately Banglalink will have the most pie of that extended portion of the market.Present scenario:Banglalink is the fastest growing corporation of Bangladesh. It has had an growth of 132% over last year it is the highest achievement for any business ever done by orascom telecom holding so they are planning to retain and increase the growth they want to reach more and more people. They want to cover 61 districts and 88 % population of Bangladesh in order to do this they have planned to make an huge investment in Bangladesh to develop their network and other service. This investment is 120 million us dollar in a single year. Indeed it iis an huge amount of money. They are investing this amount of money expecting that the economy of Bangladesh will have a boom and another 40 million people will be added in the next few years.

Past scenario:The orascom telecom holdings has acquired and started a business in Bangladesh in the brand name of Banglalink. But their main problem was a very bad reputation of sheba company. It had a very poor financial background and also a very poor network. Sheba could not provide a better network and service to iits customer so when Banglalink has replaced sheba customer still have a less trust on it. So the demand was not high all though Banglalink promised to provide an good network service. So Banglalink has invested a lot and finally could manage to get the trust of the customer and so the demand for the banglalnk SIM at the pick. This was only possible for the huge investment of Banglalink in network developing.

Future scenario:As the economy of bangledesh is having a boom. So it is expected that consumer will have more buying power and economic solvency. So they will buy more and more SIM card and will spend more money on talking over the phone. So basically a lot of money and market share is waiting for all the company. To grab majority of this market Banglalink is planning to invest a lot of money to improve their network as well as their service. So Banglalink is going to invest 300 million us dollar only to improve their network. Indeed it is a huge amount of money. And they will spend the money only based on the assumption that the demand for the SIM card will increase and consumer will spend more money over the phone.

Social environment:Bangladesh is observing a huge difference in both the socio demographic and socio economic characteristic. This includes a very transparent difference in different categories of people. In the socio demographic environment we can observe that there are very few people holding the majority of asset so we can tell that a very few people are rich so what happened to the other portion of the people. The other portion who are majority can be divided into two parts middle class and the people living under the poverty line. So if telecom companies that want to expand the business and make profit has to target the majority of the population that is the middle class and poor people. To reach the market of those people Banglalink has to reduce the price of their call obviously. And Banglalink did this. Another important thing is that cultural value is very strong among the Bangladeshi people. So orascom telecomm holding has set the brand name related with the Bangladesh, they have token the name bangla from Bangladesh and added link .this has formed a new brand name Banglalink. By doing this they are trying to give the customer a truly Bangladeshi feeling so that they fell an obligation towards this company and this works, more and more people are switching to banglaliink and adopted this brand.Another important characteristic in the behavior of Bangladeshi people is that Bangladeshi people like changes they love to experience the new and new thing considering that Banglalink has introduced new packages that give customer variety and changes in the same time under the same brand. Being an poor country people living here tend to go at the telecom brand that charge less with minimum quality so Banglalink have adopted lowest call rate in the market to grab the majority market share.There is another trend in Bangladeshi that they love to consider the hiightech product as luxury. So the telecom service is still a luxury for the Bangladeshi people.

Past scenario:Past scenario of Bangladeshi socio economic and socio demographic culture was even worst. Banglasdehi society used to be more conservative and didnt welcome the changes. The wealth was to a part of people and there were very few opportunities to be succeed in the business and very few options to earn. technological products were considered as super luxury products. The differences between the resources of different parties were also high. Most of the people were lived below the poverty line so pricing was more important factor to them than quality so all the industry were based on the low pricing factor only the telecom industry was based on the rich people customer base. Previously Bangladesh has also observed an high difference in lifestyles.Future scenario:As Bangladesh is improving as a whole nation, there is a lot of hope exist in the revolution of socio demographic and socio economic sector of Bangladesh. In future people will have more money in hand so they wont consider technological product as luxury anymore. They will consider those technological product as their common need specially cell phone it will become part and parcel of the general people people wont be able to even think of a day without it, about three quarter people will use the cell phone in Bangladesh . so a great chance of increasing and enhancing business will increase.The difference between the wealth of people will also idecresing. rich will get richer but poor wont get poorer. They will also earn money and contribute to the society. As they will earn money their standard of living and way of living will also increase. They will start consuming more on luxury product. And would like to spend more amount of money for making communication over the phone. And one day will come when people would like to have some value added service like internet in their cell phone so there is a big opportunity exist for Banglalink.People will still value culture but there would be some transformation. From the history we can also include that people would like changes and they would love to see more and more value added service in their cell all those will be possible in future.

Technological environment:Technological environment is the the most important environment for any corporation doing business in 21st century and when it is an concern about a telecommunication company it is the major issue and good techno can always work as a source of competitive advantagePresent scenario:Bangladesh has fallen behind other countries in many aspect techno is one of them. Bangladesh has a very poor technological environment and it is far away from other countries that can sets as an standard while other countries has switched into third generation technology Bangladesh is still stuck will second generation mobile network . And it is even struggling to provide the existing customer with better quality and better services. Most of the company operating in Bangladesh does not have a network coverage all over the country. Even if it is there it is not good enough to give clear voice quality and other service sit happened mainly because of the lack of investment and customer feedback. So support from both the parties is really important to maintain a good technological development. Another problem that is existing in the technological environment is that there is huge lack of qualified employees and the candidates in it sector. This problem is mainly hindering the it problem of Bangladesh.

Past scenario: Previously the technological environment was not very different than what it is now. Even it was very bad compared to what it is now. Before five years there were nothing like technology in Bangladeshi field. Everything was done manually, it was just entering in the market so no company has tried to provide an better service they were always busy in having the first mover advantage by providing minimum quality, since the beginning Banglalink is trying to eradicate the problem and trying to give the best techno at a cheaper price.Future scenario:In future the techno of Bangladesh will improve a lot. All the companies will be based on the technology. More and more technology based company will be in the market this will increase compition among the companies which will allow the customer to have best services at minimum price. In this regard Banglalink is planning to invest 300 million us dollar to make the cellular technology available to the people of 61 district and 88% people of the country.

Legal environment:Legal environment is one of the most important external factors that affect the success of the business. Even some legal issue cause extinct for some of the corporation.Present scenario:Bangladesh government has very strict business related rules and regulation. Specially for the multinational companies. They have imposed a huge amount of tax for the multinational telecom companies operating in Bangladesh this is basically discouraging the multinational companies doing business in Bangladesh and want to do business in Bangladesh. The government of Bangladesh is also thinking of imposing a very huge tax reate on the SIM card this is also a constrains for the telecom companies operating in Bangladesh. beacause it will threat the growth of the telecom industry. Banglalink is investing a lot of money in their network development and their concept is that the telecom industry will have a boom and but the present situation has created threat for Banglalink as well as it has created conflict with government. It is always bad to be in conflict especially with government because they are the most important stake holder for the business in all the countries of the worldPast scenario:In Bangladesh it was always tough to do business. The government of Bangladesh has always imposed an huge amount of tax for the corporations. And also they have created some law that goes against the business. Especially for the foreign companies. Banglalink previously paid a high level of tax and vat to the government. And they have also paid a high amount of charge while importing the machineries important for network development.

Future scenario:In future it looks that government will give more flexibility to the multinational companies of Bangladesh operating in telecom industry. They are going to reduce the corporate tax for them and also going to give them the opportunity to give their service to more people. Government will do this by reducing the tax on the SIM card. But they have sticked a condition with that, the companies must reduce their call cost to have this facilities. And it can be anticipated that Banglalink including all other telecom company will reduce the price of the call not only to get rid of tax but also to increase their market share by exploiting it among middle class people of Bangladesh.

Environmental Analysis:Enough information was not given on this topic

HR issue:Human Resource management plays a vital role in any organization. Nowadays, establishing an organization without HR department is like committing suicide because HR department is a heart of an organization. So, for any organization, HR issues are very important because it deals with the companys HR department and HR department deals with everything related to the company. So, in this section, we should discus about the HR issues of Banglalink (BL)At first, we should mention the HR issues of Banglalink and after that we should discuss the reason that why this issue would be regarded as an HR issue.

The Hr department is not well organizedHuman resource issues are very crucial factors for any organization in this world. HRIssues refer to policies, practices and employees attitudes toward their jobs. AnalyzingAnd designing work, determining human resource needs, hiring effective employees, selecting employees for required position, train the hired employees for efficient working, rewarding employees, evaluating employees performance and giving them feedback, and also creating positive work environment all of these things are HR issues.The most important resources of any organization are its HR resources. According to this case there is no integrated HR department which actually plays the part of controlling and maintaining the whole organization .The major responsibility of HR department is to make job analysis to understand the requirement of of the job and the requirement of any person. Ther is no sub division of HR department who are responsible for recruitment .so it may not be best of the best candidates. For recruiting, various media can be used. From short listed, limited number of candidates HR officers select the right person, for the right place, in a right time, in a right salary for the organization by using various interviw sessions and other tactics. HR department is basically determines the salary standard. They make the compensation and benefit packages for employees so that they can be motivated and do their job efficiently. Not only have that, HR department done performance appraisal so that they can judge the performance of each employees and based on that various monitory and nonmonetary advantages is given to them. Finally other basic activities of HR department. Is they are concern with employees productivity level. To increase the productivity they usually provide different career management programs and counseling programs. In this case, the mentioned above components are missing because there is no well organized HR department.Babglalink has no well organized and effective diversified workforce.Diversity is a mixture of different people in the workplace. Managing the mixture of employees and developing each employees full potential while leveraging diversity as an organizations resource. Banglalink has no diversified work force According to the case, 100% of a companys employees were Bangli national. There is no indication of other national people who are working there. So they must need to hire the foreign experts to their company more productive one. If they cannot introduce that they will lose a benefit which the competitor may take the advantage.

Unclear Compensation Package Compensation is the set of rewards and it is provide to the employee by the organizations in return for their performance in various jobs inside the organization. And this is the driving factor to retain employee in the organization. Handsome compensation package attracts better employees, Minimizes voluntary turnover, Fosters strong culture and help the organization to achieve competitive advantage in the market. But unfortunately Banglalink have proper compensation package for its factory employee. Performance and outcomes from an employee directly depends on compensation and its the responsibility of HRD to adjust this issue. So, we consider this as an important HR issue. A well tuned compensation package motivates the employee to increase the productivity of the company. Compensation is consisted of three basic things, which are base compensation, pay incentive and indirect compensation. Some of them are direct financial compensation, some are indirect financial compensation and rests of them are non financial compensation.

HR and Management Policies are too weakThe HR department is very week and they dont have strong policies which can motivate their employees and create better performance. They are no instruction of how the employee performance and work force relationwith the HR department. So, we think this poor HR department and week management policies are an important issue for the company. If the HR department not organized properly and if their policies are not that much strong and motivating then it will create serious problems in the work place. Its very important to have a strong HR department to control and motivate the employees. Otherwise any organization couldnt run properly.

RecommendationProblem no. 01The Hr department is not well organizedRecommendation Banglalink should be developing a well organized HR department.HRM have become an integral part in business. A difference in being a successful company or a failure company depends on the large extent on the employees.HR is responsible for nurturing the employees of the organization keeping them motivated, active, enthusiastic and dedicated to their work. Thus, the success of the company depends on HR management and practices followed in an organization.Human resource department plays a very important role in the functioning of the organization. There are 12 employees in the HRD who are reporting to the Head of HRD- Mr. Mohammed Allam. The main tasks of this department are employee recruitment, selection, transfer, promotion, training, performance appraisal, manpower planning etc. So according to the banglalink have more than 20 thousand employees in their organization. It is not possible to report appropriately about the 20 thousand employees by 12 HR employees. So banglalink should have to increase their HR department employees. This department is also responsible for performance appraisal of employees that is very important for the confirmation, increment, promotion, transfer of employees. So banglalink should take attempt to increase their HR employees and should working for the well organized HR department.Justification It is best, because HR is responsible not only for motivating the employees, keeping them active, dedicated but also for carrying out others tasks like requirement, selecting, training and development, compensation and benefits. In order to screen out the best from the poor or average, the selection has to be strict and closely maintained. Since banglalink does not have too much HR employees so it does not follow specific rules to compensate and highly trained their employees. Moreover in the current era of globalization and intense competition, it is very essential to train them and help them to develop their competencies in order to increase their productivity. Establishing an organization without organized HR department is like committing suicide because HR department is a heart of an organization.Problem no. 02No incentives or bonuses are given to the distributors which can decrease their dedication to sell their SIM card and packages.Recommendation Banglalink should have give incentives and bonuses to the distributors in order to spiral up their sales.It is mentioned in the case that banglaink has six sells distributor who generate the target market sells. In Bangladesh banglalink have many small distributors who sell their sim card and their packages, refilled customers balance etc. When banglalink are giving them some incentives, good offers, benefits, bonuses then these distributors are will be more dedicated toward their work. And that distributor is works hard to sell their products. Distribution Sales Department is responsible for managing the product distriactivities and ensuring the sales targets are met by the companys six distributors (Lipro, Asimpex, Butterfly, Propel, Deens & Deshlink). They are also responsible to ensure that these distributors and all the dealers who are operating under the distribution team are following the policies of the company with regard to promotions, package offerings, branding, pricing etc. So, Banglalink should have give incentives and bonuses to the distributors in order to spiral up their sales.JustificationsIt is the best because once the distributor receives bonuses or incentives, they will try to sell more banglalink SIM card, and ITOP UP because they will feel that if more banglalink product are sold the revenue will increase.
