Business Model - Diversification Strategy for Electronic Media ConglomerateFawad Ahmad Khan Niazi
The growing demand of content and its regulations over internet and mass media are also challenges for the TOs as they are less familiar to such type of situations in contrast to EMCs and in some cases compliance to content regulations resulted in total blocking of key portal services e.g. YouTube and facebook on whom Telecom operators (TOs) rely for professional as well as user generated content. The power of mobile as end-user device/terminal; and necessity to have access to mobile device for tapping youth and busy customers requiring mobility in future is acknowledged worldwide. Therefore, EMCs should strive to provide converged services to mobile users in Pakistan through diversification strategies like that of telecom operators to sustain in long run.
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Sales Channels & Marketing Tools
For any companysellingaproduct,the conceptsof marketingandsalesare veryimportantas
theycan meanthe difference betweensuccessandfailure.While theyare oftenused
interchangeablyorgrouped,theyare twodifferentconceptsanditisimportantto understand
those differences.
Salesrefertothe short termneedto close a sale,getanagreementsigned,orultimatelydowhat
needstobe done to sell whateveritisyouare selling.Salestechniquesandstrategiesare based
on whatit takesto 'close the deal',whichiscrucial to any business.If yougetcustomersinthe
door butcannot getthemto buy a product,there isa problemwithyoursalesstrategy.Sales
strategiesare focusedonthe individual buyerandwhatneedstobe done for themto pull out
theirwalletorclickon the buybuttonwhenitcomesto online selling.Companiestypicallyset
salesvolume targetsfora period(weeks,months,andquarters) andhave strategiesinplace
where the individualsresponsible foractuallysellingcanmake those targets.
22. In PTCL there are varioussaleschannelstosell the productandgenerate revenueforthe

Marketingisa longer-termconceptthansalesandrelatestoforward-lookingstrategiesto

capitalize onthat.The resultof the marketingprocess,andwhatit directlysupports,ismaking
saleseasier.Marketingtechniquesandstrategiesare basedonwhatittakesto identifythe right
productmix,the pricesforthose products,and whatneedstobe communicatedtotarget
customers(viaadvertisement) toensure successfulsales.One of the keyaspectsof marketing
strategiesisbuildingabrandidentityforwhata companyissellingandthisvariesfromcompany

Third-PartyNetworkorThird-partysalesare salesconductedbyanyone otherthanthe producer.
Evenwhenthere are fouror five partiesinvolved,we refertoall of themas thirdparties.
Thirdpartysalesare oftenvexingformarketers.
Managing third-partysellingisnoteasy.Butin manysectors,it isveryimportant!The
intermediariesholdthe keytoincreasedincome fromexistingclientsandwinningnew clients.
Third-partysellingcaneitherbe the waythe companydeliverscustomerintimacyorabarrierto

In the past companiesoftentookthe view thatprovidedthe resultswere good(rightvolumes,
rightmargins,rightcompliance) thenthe activityof distributorsdidnotmatter.Itwasalmost
part of the deal:“as longas youdeliverthe result,we will leave youalone.Yougetyourfreedom.
We getour results?”
29. But today’smajoreconomic,demographic,regulatory,andtechnological changesmake it
essential forcompaniestofocusnotjuston results(the outcomes,the “laggingindicators”) but
alsoon activity(the inputs,the “leadingindicators.”)

PTCL SukkurtelecomRegionpracticesdifferentactivitiesinBTLactivity.
38. We were assignedtoworkonchallengesfacingbythe SukkurTelecomRegion.We identifiedSome
challengeswiththe collaborationwithMr.Wajahat.
Major challengeswe identified:
− Network Healthin Rural Areas:
PTCL has successfullytackledthe issuesinmetropolitancitiesregardingthe network
healthwhere 4mbof internetconnectionprovides4mbexperience tothe customers.
Withthe improvementsinthe infrastructureandthe fiberconnectionsadoptedbyPTCL,
the experience forcustomersisgettingbetterwithtime.Networkhealthispoorinrural
areas andhas shownno or verylittle improvementinthe pastyears.Thisissue createsa
bad customerexperience whichthentransformsintonegativewordof mouthor no
repurchase behavior.
− CompetitioninPricing
Otherstatic connectionproviderslikeEbonandHBL Konnectclaimtheirconnectionsto
be affordable andfast.Their4mb package costs Rs.1200, as compare to Rs.2400 for
PTCL’s.Customersare attractedto theirservicesandthispandemicsituationwhere even
non-usersof staticinternetwere tryingtogeta connectionfortheirhomes.Peopleina
short informal interviewclaimedtohave broughtstaticconnectionathome because
theyno longertraveledmore (where theywouldhave usedthe mobilenetwork
provider’sinternet).Andtheyalsowantedunlimitedinternetforpurpose of theironline
streaming,videogaming,webinars,meetings,classattendances,andsurfing.Ebongrew
39. inthisphase where newcustomersandsome oldcustomerswere attractedtothe price
offeringsandswitched.Thiswasa lossof potential customerstowardsrivals.
− Bad Wordof Mouth
Before decayor five yearsbackwhenCompanywasupgradingitsnetworksfromtwisted
cablesandcopper wire tooptical fiberdue toweaknetworkhealth.Atthattime
customersfacedmanyproblemsregardingdysconnectivity issues,slowinternetspeed.
Customersdecidedtoleave orswitchfromPTCLptcl to other alternatives.Thattime
companystartedto face bad word of mouthwhose replicationsare still availableinthe
market.The perceptionof PTCLhas become verybadinthe market.Competitors
exploitedthisopportunity.Now PTCLupgradeditsnetworkinthe regionbutthe
perception of the past is still present in the market.
− Sales Channels Productivity
Sales from sales channels are not satisfactory. FSAs and DAs are struggling to generate
sales and bring new customers to the mainstream.
40. Possible Solutions
The interns were given chance to utilize their learning into the practical arena at PTCL. The
company tried to incorporate updated information of different fields through webinars into the
young minds. Besides, it gave them a chance to use the already acquired skills and bring out a
solution for the prevailing problems or the potential opportunity in the different departments.
Our group was allowed to propose problems for the existing problem in Field channels and
mechanisms. Throughout the journey, there were several problems identifiedthat are mentioned
in previous paragraphs. The next paragraph will highlight a few practical solutions for PTCL.
− Network Health in Rural Areas:
Poor network health in rural areas brings disappointment for customers and spread
negative word of mouth in non-users. The main reason behind this failure is the less
developed infrastructure in rural areas. The company should upgrade the service in
those areas. Keeping in mind the cost-benefit analysis, the company should work on the
infrastructure (in terms of technical equipment) of those areas. It may have an initial
cost of investment but once the service gets better later company can reap the profits.
− Competition in Pricing:
The pricing competition was the next problem in the region. The competitors in many areas
were claiming the same quality service and attracting the users. The best possible option for
41. this problem can be the variable trade marketing options. The company should provide
variable deals, discounts, packages in different areas. They should not opt for centralized
trade marketing.
− Bad Wordof Mouth
The company haswell-maintainedcustomerprofilingaswell aschurnprofiling.The
companyshouldcontactthemto offersome discountstoreconnectwiththe company.
Customerwill be reluctantdue toswitchingcosts,the companycanbearthe
configuration chargestoinstall aconnection. The Company’srepresentativesshould

shouldposttestimonialsondifferentsocial mediaplatformsthatwouldhelpittochange
the perceptionof users,non-users,andex-users.
− SalesChannelsProductivity
FSA is an importantriskySaleschannel.Riskyinthe sense thatthe companyisbearing

salesteamshouldarrange a meetingwithall FSAsone byone andasksthemreasonsfor
