This document analyzes Mobilink, Pakistan's largest mobile network operator, using Porter's Five Forces model. It finds that while Mobilink is the market leader, competition in the industry is intense as it has many strong rivals offering similar services. Subscribers also have low switching costs. However, suppliers have weak bargaining power and potential new entrants face difficulties. Overall, competition from rivals poses the main threat to Mobilink's continued success.
This report was produced to evaluate the EE’s marketing environment, identify and recommend suitable potential strategies by using thoroughly several models to assess and examine the external and internal environment.
The examination of the external environment was carried out with the use of PESTLE, Porter’s 5 forces and an overview of current telecoms segmentation. In order to assess the internal environment, EE’s current performance, value chain and product portfolio were reviewed. The analysis revealed that despite having apparent strengths in 4G technology and market position, EE still has some issues especially with its brand image, perceived value for money proposition and customer satisfaction. Recommendations were made to improve on EE’s customer service as part of a customer retention focus and continuingly increase the 4G customer base as EE’s main growth driver.
Measuring competitive pressure in mobile telecommunication sectors using oecd...ACORN-REDECOM
The OECD Price Benchmarking Basket methodology compares prices across OECD countries for mobile telecommunication
services. This methodology uses only data from dominant operators that together have at least 50% market share. This paper
compares prices for 18 African countries based on the OECD methodology with the prices for the cheapest product available
in a country. The OECD methodology is expanded to include all operators and all prepaid products. The difference between
the two prices, cheapest over all and cheapest dominant operators, is interpreted as competitive pressure in the sector and is
linked to market structure and regulatory environment. The paper demonstrates of the basket methodology can be used to
monitor the affects of regulatory interventions and define universal service obligations based on affordability.
Mobile number portability in south asia iqbal - Tahani Iqbal (2011)ACORN-REDECOM
This paper explores Pakistan‟s experience in introducing Mobile Number Portability (MNP) and will investigate the
suitability of introducing the same in India and the Maldives. The study identifies the preconditions necessary for introducing
MNP, based on a review of the literature. MNP in the three countries studied will be analysed based on these preconditions,
and supported by feedback from regulatory officials and operator representatives, as well as a large sample study,
teleuse@BOP3, carried out in six-countries in 2008. The paper suggests that MNP may not have a significant impact on
changing the mobile market, given the large proportion of Bottom of the Pyramid (BOP) users who have little number
loyalty.

Mobile Music Business Models in Asia's Emerging MarketsLaili Aidi
Aidi, Laili; Markendahl, Jan; Tollmar, Konrad; Selvakumar, Ekambar; Huang, Jin; and Blennerud, Greger, In proceeding of: 12th International Conference on Mobile Business, Berlin 2013
In the telecom business, there has been a heavy competition from Internet, media and handset vendors companies. These over-the-top (OTT) players offer compiling telecom services, cause a transformation in the telecom business ecosystem, and the most challenging services posed here are media services. China, India and Indonesia, as world’s emerging markets in Asia, are predicted to take the largest share in the global mobile traffic explosion by 2015. It is critical for mobile network operators (MNOs) in this region to explore strategy for mobile media services, as mobile broadband is likely preferred
compared to fixed broadband.
In this paper, we analyze and compare mobile music business models used in these markets and structure the relation models between the key actors, using Actors, Relations and Business Activities (ARA) model. We present the economic models that are emerging, and an insight of why and how these multitudes actors are betting on currently. We found that the MNOs generally have a much stronger position compared to their counterparts in the developed markets, and the personalization services, like ring-back tone, are still a huge success. The actors tend to deliver the services by their own, rather than to collaborate in a horizontal business setting.
Paper - Competing or Aligning? Assessment for Telecom Operator's strategy to ...Laili Aidi
Up until recently, it was rarely direct competition between telecom operators, cable and satellite Pay-TV providers in digital TV/Video, as their business area were different and value chain was well established. However, technology advance has altered digital TV/Video landscape, made these Communication Service Providers (CSPs) cross other’s area and opened door for new actor (OTT player) to enter the market. This triggers second change in the landscape, as it potentially bypasses CSP’s role in digital media value chain.
There are generic potential options for telecom operator to address OTT service‘s treat, where the trend shows gradual shifts toward allowing or promoting. This study assesses telecom operator’s reaction strategies to react to this digital TV/Video convergence trend. Our analysis reveals two typical relation patterns in the value network, used by telecom operators based on strategy options above, which are ”point-to-point” and ”point-to-multipoint” relation model. We explore the underlining motivations that based these strategies, as well as analysis of the eco-systems: actors identification, business roles and distributed responsibilities among them, where we use ARA (Actors, Resource, Activities) point of view to model these value networks.

Effects of Supply Chain Management Practices On The Performance Of Banks In K...Editor IJCATR
The paper examines the adoption of the Supply Chain Management practices on the performance
of Banks in Kenya. This research conceptualizes and develops four dimensions of SCM practice
(outsourcing of goods & services, information & communication technology, strategic supplier
partnership, and globalization) and tests the relationships between SCM practices, and
organizational performance. The study employed descriptive design. Data for the study was
collected using a self-administered questionnaire procedure, where the questionnaires were
administered to the selected respondents through drop and pick later technique. A sample size of
33 respondents was drawn from the sample frame using simple stratified random sampling
technique to promote the needs for efficiency and representativeness from various branches and
outlets of Postbank as an organization in Nairobi County and the relationships proposed in the
framework was tested using Chi-square, T-test among other statistical tools. Data was analyzed
by aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study will be useful in the academic
circles as it will contribute immensely towards filling the gaps in knowledge in the area of service
industry. The study found that outsourcing was important to the banks only when the appropriate
methods are employed. It also found that ICT had a major role in determining the performance of
banks as it dictated the mode of transaction and data they displayed to clients. Strategic
partnership was also important based on what it intended to achieve in enhancing the performance
of banks. Lastly, globalization is equally vital as it increases competition and exposes local banks
to global scene to experience how performance of banks can be improved. The study recommends
that correct ICT methods should be applied to promote the competitiveness of banks and improve
performance. Also it recommends that outsourcing be done only if they promote the objectives and
goals of the banking institute.
