8. INTRODUCTION OF TELENOR PAKISTAN
Telenor is emerging as one of the fastest growing service providers of mobile communications services
worldwide. Telenor is also the largest service provider of TV services in the Nordic region. Telenor is organized
into three business areas; Mobile operations covering 12 countries, and Fixed-line and Broadcast services
covering the Nordic region.
They have More than 129 million mobile subscriptions worldwide.
Strong position in the growing Scandinavian market for broadband services.
Largest provider of television and broadcast services in the Nordic region. Revenues: NOK 91.1 billion
Workforce: 33,500.
Listed in Oslo Stock Exchange.
During the late 90’s it has been deregulated and changed from fully government owned into a public limited
company. However the government retained substantial stake in terms of shares. Since deregulation began in
EU, the telecommunication industry is facing tough competition from new entrants and this is the case for
Telenor as well.
HISTORY OF TELENOR
For over 150 years, telecommunications has played a vital part in the development of modern Norwegian
society. As the incumbent provider, Telenor has been the driving force in the development of a highly
sophisticated home market. The physical work has helped in rolling out infrastructure and developing services
over long distances and in tough natural conditions. The real job, however, is building relations between people.
In 1994, the then Norwegian Telecom was established as a public corporation. In December 2000, the company
was partly privatized and listed on the stock exchange. This transformation took place as a gradual adaptation to
increasing competition in the Norwegian telecoms market after deregulation in the 1990s, with free competition
for all services from1998. Telenor has successfully defended its strong position in the Norwegian market.
Internationally, Telenor has achieved on the basis of strong positions in satellite communications, in mobile
communications and in domestic Internet activities. Telenor has been one of the world's leading suppliers
of satellite communications for many years. Telenor Launched it services in Pakistan in March 2005. Telenor
brand names in past years are as follows:

countries employing more than 34,000 individuals, Telenor Pakistan has created 2,200 direct and 20,000-plus
indirect employment opportunities.
The organization is in the growth phase capturing more than 14% of the market share, achieving a 200%

further expansion of network and services. Maintaining a wide coverage in the country, with 500 destinations

TYPE OF STRUCTURE: VERTICAL DIFFERENTIATION
HIERARCHICAL LEVELS
There are seven hierarchical levels as the size of the organization approaches 2500 to 3000 employees. Roles
and responsibilities are clearly defined at the time of joining the organization; employees are selected against
defined criteria. Roles can be added later but employees have a fair idea about their job responsibilities fromthe
beginning.
Hierarchical Levels at Telenor Pakistan
Seven layers do not create communication or motivation problems due to the open culture. There are no
instances of de-motivation though in certain areas like Customer Relationship Department or Customer Service
Centre different customer queries and complaints can raise frustration levels. Managers in these departments
intervene to solve problems.
Whenever an employee has a new idea, he/she is encouraged to approach the management and share it with
them. Idea drop boxes are also placed at various locations where employees leave their suggestions. The
Communications Department works out if the ideas can be implemented and then discusses them with the
employees. There is also a formal platform at the group level known as SEED where innovation is encouraged
and new ideas about revenue concepts and cost efficiency can be discussed. Employees are welcome to
participate and submit their ideas. If the ideas handed in are feasible then they are implemented in the
organization (at country level or global level, depending on the nature of the proposal). Employees are then
rewarded financially for their helpful contributions.

18. There are 5 core elements to Telenor Objects

19. BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
Objectives 2006-07 2015
Market Share in terms of
Subscribers
10% 40%
Market Penetration 9% 30%
Market Share in terms of
Revenue
7% 30%
Unprompted Brand Awareness 20% 90%
MARKET DRIVEN STRATEGY
It is a strategy that drives Telenor into the market which excel the Telenor operations into neck to neck
competition in the market according to the following ways:
Market orientation
Leveraging distinctive capabilities
Customer value/capabilities match
Superior performance
Market Orientation:
Customer focus
For Telenor is to be market oriented, it is essential to focus on the customers need and wants and make such
packages that need to facilitate the services of its customers in Pakistan. Telenor through its effective experience
has one of the competitive edges of making more packages giving to its customers, on its competitors.
Like they are giving six packages of prepaid connection services and four packages of post paid
connection packages.
As through their proper research and development, they get to know that mostly upper middle class and lower
middle class eager to have pre paid connection. As statistics shows that more than 80% of the mobile subscriber
in Pakistan are using pre paid services. So they introduced certain packages in the name of Telenor d-juice and
TalkShawk with in which they offer different rates to different customers according to demographical and
psycho graphical segmentation which shows to what extent they are customer focused. As it is giving the
franchising and retailer facilities in different cities reflects their concentration on the customer. They facilitate
the customer through its sales and customer services centre in different cities where the customer relation
officer facilitate the customer regarding different issues like GPRS,MMS and other connection activation issues.

20. They also give guideline to customers that how the different packages can facilitate best according to their
affordability and their compatibility. They also solve and answered their queries in a very organized way. So all
the above facts tells us that at what extent Telenor are customer focused.
Competitor intelligence
Due to neck to neck competition, the competitor intelligence plays a vital role in maintaining the market share
aggressively. For example by 2005 it was the competitor of Warid Telecom with the market share of less than
20% and at that time Mobilink was the market leader with more than 58% .But by 2007, its market share
dramatically increases by more than 22% whereas Mobilink has about 30% market share. It is due to an
effective competitor intelligence of Telenor that it is competing with the market leader and want to become the
market leader in the future by their effective services, new innovations in technology, greater customer value,
larger network coverage, efficient promotion, highly qualified and experienced staff and leadership.
It is the ability of Telenor’s competitor intelligence that they are using efficient packaging services to the
customers in the right direction. For example Telenor is only one in Pakistan who is giving mobile TV to its
customers. Also as for as the rates are concerned, it has the competitive advantage of making a call to other
networks at much reasonable price than of making a call to the same network. They had make a better market
share due to biggest network coverage and advance technologies, so on this basis the benefits are more than it
costs for the customers.On the otherhand, Zong and Warid are not come up with that much advance technology
and broad network coverage, so according to that their rates are comparatively high than Telenor.
All the competitor intelligence is possible only through effective marketing research. Because through proper
research, companies come to know about symptoms and the exact problemdefinition. Some symptoms seems to
be a problem but only through proper research we come to know what is exactly happening in the market and
how one would compete efficiently.
So, after proper marketing research, Telenor go for competitive strategies. Like Telenor first time introduced
the service of easy loading to its customers in the beginning of their launching. Moreover, they facilitate the
easy loading of just Rs. 10. Similarly, by the passage of time, Mobile TV servicing etc is a result of effective
marketing research that makes competitive advantage to other companies.
In this way, Telenor makes the competitive environment in the market as before 2005, Mobilink and Ufone
were in the market but there was a situation of oligopoly. So Telenor heightened the competition in the market
and it is the fact that greater the competitive ability, greater would be the growth rate of that company.
Cross-functional coordination
Through cross functional coordination, all the think tanks sit to decide to what extent development and
innovation in information technology is needed and through evaluating certain systems, which department
needed more attention. Through this, Telenor improves the efficiency in overall departments.

21. As Telenor also divides its departments into certain teams, so a sense of competition within a department urges
to improve effectiveness and efficiency of that department.
As Telenor is a market oriented firm, so there are variety of diversifications that need to be handled to sustain its
position in the market. Like it is giving the services of telecommunication, so managing network coverage
without any disruptions is the biggest priority. Then the other services like Mobile TV, SMS service, MMS
service, customer service must also be properly handled by first maintaining the standards and then checking
whether the standards are properly implemented, which is handled perfectly by Telenor.
Environmental Influences
Environmental influences play a key role in market orientation. Telenor is doing effective environmental
scanning through proper research in different departments.
It is done either through secondary data, observational measures and having experiments in the form of test
marketing. By this approach, they get to know whether they are going on the right path or some improvement is
needed or we need to import any substitution on that side. If any improvements are needed, it can be done
through structural adjustment programs or local content requirement approach.
Distinctive Capabilities
Shortly, it includes the capabilities that are different from its competitors and have high value for the customers.
In terms of Telenor, it has the distinctive capabilities of having broad network coverage with the most advance
technology of booster systems. Then the technology of Mobile TVdifferentiates Telenor fromother companies.
Moreover, it can be divide into following aspects:
Superior to the competition
As it is been discussed above, Telenor’s network coverage and its quality creates superiority over the other
companies. They are using Nokia Systems while installing the boosters which are the most efficient one in the
market. This results in less network coverage breakage cost and recruitment of more employees’ cost. As
statistics shows that Telenor has very few Telecom Engineers with high pay package than all the
other competitors in terms of their network coverage.
Difficult to duplicate
Mobile TV is a new thing in a Pakistan market that is very difficult to duplicate. It is introduced to hit post paid
customers and to develop the perception in customers and potential customer’s mind that they have the most
advance technology than any other company.
CEO of Telenor Pakistan while giving an interview in a program Brand Power to TV1Channel says that they
have that much advanced technology in the global world like Telenor Satellite Services, Automatic Meter
Reading, digitalizing telephone network; that if they are introduced in the Pakistan market, they can increase

22. much more shares but introducing these technologies, cost would be higher than the benefits.
Applicable to multiple competitive situations
Telenor has capable to drive its market share in successive way due to its multi dimension capabilities. It has
strong network coverage by using hybrid and dynamic technologies. As technology is the competitive edge of
telenor on others and they design their operation and activities in such a way that they are ready for any multiple
competitive situation. For example if the competitors are introducing some new packages and targets the
customers, then telenor has much capable to response these actions due to its up to date technologies and
competitor intelligence system. In spite of that if there would be some adverse situation like earthquake, floods
and emergency situation they are ready to compete theses contingent situation and can meet the required
services to the customers.
Value and capabilities
Telenor is giving the value-added services to its customers in the form of customer service departments, the
franchising and extra services like horoscope, news, sports updates etc.
Customer values/ Match the capabilities
Matching the capabilities, Telenor evaluate to what extent, they are giving the customer values to the customers.
As far the rates the concerned, they are comparatively the same with other markets as all the competitors are
market oriented. So, to be in the market, they need to be competitive in terms of rates, network coverage etc.
Overall, except distinctive capabilities, customers are getting the same values with different faces.
Superior Performance
Telenor is giving superior performance in terms of its voice quality, network technology and rates in comparison
with giving the values, to its customers. They are using Nokia Systems while installing the boosters which are
the most efficient one in the market. This results in less network coverage breakage cost, high voice quality and
recruitment of more employees’ cost.
COMPETITION
As at 30 June 2008, Telenor Pakistan had a market share of approximately 20%. In addition to Telenor Pakistan,
there are five other mobile operators in Pakistan: Mobilink, Ufone, Warid, Zong (formerly Paktel) and
Instaphone. According to data provided by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (the PTA), as at 30 June
2008 Mobilink was the largest cellular mobile operator in Pakistan with a market share of approximately 37%,
Ufone had a market share of approximately 20%, Warid had a market share of approximately 17%, Zong had a

the following mobile operators:
 Mobilink

 Zong

25. MARKET SEGMENTATION & TARGETING
Currently the population of Pakistan is over 155million. If we exclude
20% of the poor population and 30% children (below the age of 10
years), we get a potential target market of about 87 million.
So far cellular mobile companies have grabbed 34.5 million
subscribers which are only 39% of the potential target market.
About 59% of the potential population is living in rural areas. Mobile
operators will focus on grabbing the inaccessible areas and increasing
their penetration by expanding their networks.
In future, it is expected that post paid segment will grow at a faster pace than prepaid segment converting a
portion of the prepaid segment to post-paid. For e.g. Post paid packages aimed at the youth and students.
MARKET SEGMENTATION & POSITIONING
Segmentation is the process of dividing the total market for a good or service into several smaller, internally
homogenous groups. Since Telenor is a customer oriented and quality driven company, it segments its market
on the basis of various different dimensions.

Talkshawk
Djuice
Persona
Talkshwak and Djuice are prepaid packages of Telenor and Persona is post-paid package. Telenor is using multi
product strategies for improving their performances. Telenor made main product strategy for prepaid packages.
Because now a days, people have many options of product and services offering by other mobile companies.
They switch quickly to other networks. So that’s why Telenor made different product strategies to retain and
attract the customers. These strategies are
Add a new product
Cost reduction
Product improvement
Marketing strategy alteration
Product Elimination
Add a new product strategy
Telenor using new product strategy according to customer need and wants. When they saw their existing
product has been complete its maturity line and they can’t make improvement in existing product then they
introduced new product in market with new features.
Now in market there is very much competition among different mobiles operators. So Telenor introduced
talkshawk and Djuice to compete the market. Talkshawk is for long talk especially in lowest rates. And Djuice
is for sms ate very low rates.
Cost reduction strategy
Telenor using cost reduction strategy to compete with market. Because people are price sensitive so that’s why

36. they do their low the prices of product. Through cost reduction strategy Telenor offering late night packages to
reduce the networking cost of booster. Because whole night boosters continuous provides the coverage and at
night load of subscriber very low that’s why they offered late night packages at very low cost.
Product improvement strategy
Telenor also using product improvement strategy to bring improvement in products with short time period.
Because market demands improvement and want new thing in very low cost. They make little changes in
existing product. Like Telenor now a day making improvement in talkshawk packages.
Marketing strategy alteration:
Telenor also making alteration in strategy to make product successful in market. Firstly Telenor more focus on
TalkShawk packages but when the trend of sms has come in market then Telenor introduced new packages in
Djuice.
Product Elimination strategy:
Product elimination strategy used by companies to survive in market because when the product fail in the
market then companies eliminate the product and introduced new product. Same this case with Telenor, they
firstly introduced ‘AZADI’ package at starting of their operation in Pakistan. Soon after the lunched of Telenor
Djuice package and Telenor talkshawk package, Telenor eliminate the Telenor AZADI package.
MOBILE SUBSCRIBER FORECAST:
The mobile handset market has become very exciting. Market segmentation in high end, middle end and low
end handsets is resulting in choice and affordability to all types of customers.
Increase in the number of subscribers for post-paid packages is mainly because operators have launched services
like gprs/edge, mms, blackberry corporate mobile email solution, mobile banking, ring back tones and several
other content based options.

38. PRICING STRATEGY:
Price plays a strategic role in success of product of company. And now a day price is sensitive issue for all
companies. Because now customer is very much price conscious. That’s why company keeps in mind all
sensitive strategic prices before determining the price of product. And there is very much competition in
business world especially in telecom sector.
Mobile players are segmenting their customers and announcing packages accordingly to meet their needs.
Recently examples include Jazz Octane and Djuice focused on the youth segment, talkshawk for financially
constraint and students, Ladies First by Mobilink for the female segment.
Due to telecom deregulation in Balochistan, the tele density increased by 5.6% to
10.47% in 2006 showing growth of 87%.
When we saw price strategies of Telenor then it looks very much sensitive and
complex. Because they have considerations before making price strategy.
These considerations are:
Ability of customer to pay for product
Cost of products
Marketing cost
Ethical issues
Competitor cost
Telenor makes their price strategy after complete market research and analysis. Telenor first determine the price
objectives which are
To gain market share
To increase in revenue
To increase new subscriber

To win competition war
To positioning in consumer’s mind
To fulfil the above objectives Telenor analysis the current situation of market on the following grounds.
Customer price sensitivity
Determining product cost
Analyzing current and potential competitive actions
Evaluating legal and ethical constraints
But the main thing is that competitor analysis and before knowing their competitors company can’t be success in
market. So Telenor using different approaches to determine the price.

39. Cost oriented approaches
Competition oriented approaches
Demand oriented approaches
Telenor is doing excellent job in price strategy. Because they introducing new packages at lowest rates and they
have less leverage in packages according to market demand. In certain package Telenor charge little high price
but the services like EDGE, Tele doctor, mobile TV etc., which they are providing to customers not providing
by other companies.
Telenor is using low active price strategy because they are providing quality services to their customer at
relatively low price and they mentioned prices in their ads.
